When you're looking at water damage, you can tell a lot about what to expect from the categories of water, which is just talking about how polluted the water was causing the damage.

Category 1 is water from a clean source, like drinking water. This water can be easily polluted to become category 2, either by contact with the home environment or just by allowing it to sit too long.

Category 2 is water that is slightly contaminated, and could make you sick. This water can become more contaminated and cause category 3 water damage instead.

Category 3 is really contaminated, and can make you really sick or even kill you. Think raw sewage, or even toilet backup with feces.

The level of contamination of the water in water damage will dictate what measures must be used to restore water damaged property or if the property needs to be discarded.
