Bathroom Sink and Tub Overflows
Flushed bathrooms occur more often than you realize and are usually caused by either clogging, burst pipes or overfilling your sink with too much water, leading to overflow. If the overflow hole on your sink doesn't function as it should, that means there's probably something clogging it and all that extra water has nowhere to go but onto the floor - resulting in flooding!
Your water intake from your sink or tub contains minimal bacteria for consumption, while water that remains standing contains various strains of bacteria due to soap scum residue and dirt build-up. When there is an overflow, these bacteria thrive in any wood-based product such as floors, subfloors, drywall particle board etc. before starting their growth of mold spores - giving you only 48 hours before mold begins growing on these surfaces and necessitating professional repair or remediation services.

Category 2: “Gray Water”
Category 2, commonly referred to as Gray Water, contains significant levels of contamination that could potentially cause discomfort or illness if consumed. Sources include washing machine overflow, toilet overflow, bathtub/sink overflow and dishwasher overflows. Gray water typically contains viruses and/or bacteria and quickly transforms into category 3 "black water." If left untreated it could quickly degrade further and enter category 3.
Certified Technicians equipped with protective clothing in accordance with OSHA, EPA and IICRC guidelines will treat this type of cleanup as if it is category 3, so as to fully decontaminate any pathogens present.
Category 3: “Black Water”
Category 3 or Black Water is the most dangerous category of water, containing biological waste such as feces, grease and hazardous chemicals that could potentially be fatal if consumed. All contact should be avoided except with trained technicians wearing proper PPE. Gray and black water incidents like sewer backups, unattended leaks or overflows must be treated as emergencies that must be dealt with promptly and appropriately.
