1. Know What Kind of Damage There Is

• Not all water damage is created equal. The type
  of water and where it came from will make a big
  difference in how the damage is mitigated.
  Generally, there are three types of water damage.
• Clean water damage Damage from a broken
  appliance, water line, etc. The water that
  damages your business is clean water.
• Gray water damage happens when water comes
  from a source that may or may not contain
  contaminants, such as a dishwasher, toilet
  without feces, or even melted snow or rainwater.
• Black water damage The most serious damage is
  called black water damage. This occurs when
  rivers or lakes flood, when sewage overflows, or
  when other groundwater comes into your business.
  Black water can contain viruses, bacteria, and
  parasites.
