Although Greenville doesn’t have much water surrounding, it’s best to be careful during spring when rainfalls are harder than usual. Hard rainfalls can lead to floods and cause water damage to properties.

Water damage is rotting or chips of wood, growth, rusting of steel, and many more caused by different things such as broken dishwasher hose, washing machine overflow, broken pipes, clogged toilet and many others. Water damage can start out being just some water spots and it can grow to be bigger to cover a whole surface. It can also be a big flood happening somewhere. Either way, water damage has brought a lot of misfortune to people whom have lost property.

The insurance for the water damage or for the restoration doesn’t always cover property owners. While the main cause of damage is usually because of sump pump failure, the policy forces homeowners to buy premium in order to be covered under the insurance and get funds for restoration. Individuals who are affected by large amount of flooding may be able to apply for government and FEMA grants through the Individual Assistance Program. The government buys the property, help clear up the land and make it into a green field.

There are three categories for water, which are labeled 1,2, and 3. Category 1 is known as “Clean Water” that has been broken out of water supply lines. Category 2 is, known as “Grey Water”, the water source that contains a good amount of chemical, biological, or physical contamination to the human being. When the Category 2 water is in contact with humans, it may cause sickness and discomfort. Some examples are toilet bowls with urine, sump pump failures, and discharge from dishwashers and washing machines. Category 3 is known as “Black Water” which is extremely unsanitary. The black water contains harmful bacteria and fungi that can really make humans very sick. It’s usually found in poor environment such as sewage and seawater.
