When Your Sink or Tub Overflows?
Clogs can cause pipes to burst and that can cause bathroom flooding as well as overfilling your sink. If your drain is clogged and you overfill your sink, the accumulated water has nowhere to go once your sink overflow hole is full, except on the floor.
The water in your sink or bathtub doesn’t contain as much bacteria as other sources of water like what stands in your drains, but it can still harbor bacteria. Clean water can still pose a threat. In as little as 48 hours, the “clean” water can still develop mold causing even more problems for your property and your health.

Category 2: “Gray Water”
There are some serious levels of contamination in Gray water (Category 2 water) that will cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces, dishwasher overflow and washing machine overflow are some sources of category 2 water. Gray water typically contains viruses and/ or bacteria and if left untreated, will quickly degrade into category 3 or “black water”.
Our Certified Technicians always wear personal protective equipment to comply with OSHA, EPA and IICRC guidelines and will treat this type of cleanup as if it is a category 3 in order to fully decontaminate any pathogens that may be present.
Category 3: “Black Water”
You should NEVER attempt to clean up Black Water (Category 3 water). Black water is the most contaminated unsanitary wastewater, loaded with biological materials such as feces, residuals from drugs, grease, or other hazardous chemicals that can and will cause severe illness or even death if ingested. All contact must be avoided unless by trained technicians wearing appropriate PPE gear. Gray water and Black water such as sewage backups, unattended leaks, backups, or overflows should be considered an emergency and dealt with as quickly as possible and only by professionals.
