Certified Category 2 and 3 water damage mitigation services for gray and black water—extraction, sanitation, and full structural drying.

Category 2 (“gray water”) and Category 3 (“black water”) damage involve contaminated water that poses serious health and safety risks. Gray water may contain chemicals, soap, or wastewater from appliances or drains, while black water comes from sewage backups, flooding, or stagnant water filled with bacteria and pathogens.

Our certified team provides complete water extraction, sanitation, and drying to eliminate contamination and restore your property safely. We remove unsalvageable materials, apply EPA-approved disinfectants, and use industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to ensure all moisture is removed.

Professional mitigation is essential—improper cleanup can spread bacteria, cause mold growth, and lead to structural damage. We follow strict IICRC standards for containment, disinfection, and air quality testing. With 24/7 emergency service and direct insurance billing, we ensure your home or business is fully restored, sanitized, and safe to occupy.

1. What is the difference between Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 water damage?

• Category 1 (Clean Water): From clean sources like broken pipes or rainwater.
