When Your Sink or Tub Overflows?

Flooded bathrooms happen more often than you think and usually happen as the result of a clog, or perhaps a burst pipe. With any bathroom, if you fill your sink with water and it overflows because the sink overflow hole isn’t working, it’s generally because your sink drain is clogged and the water has nowhere to go except on the floor.

There is little to no bacteria from the intake water flowing into your sink or tub and is safe for consumption, however, water that is left standing in your sink or tub contains many strains of bacteria, generally forming as a result of soap scum residues and dirt. These bacteria like to live on and eat any product made from wood such as floors, subfloors, drywall, particle board, etc. and this is where we start to see the growth of mold when there is an overflow. You have less than 48 hours to clean and dry these surfaces before the mold starts.

Category 2: “Gray Water”

Category 2, also known as Gray Water, has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness when ingested. Sources for category 2 water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow, bathtub or sink overflow and dishwasher overflow. Gray water typically contains viruses and/ or bacteria and can quickly degrade into category 3 or “black water” if left untreated.

Our Certified Technicians with personal protective equipment to comply with OSHA, EPA and IICRC guidelines will treat this type of cleanup as if it is a category 3 in order to fully decontaminate any pathogens that may be present.

Category 3: “Black Water”

Category 3 also known as Black water is the most dangerous water loaded with biological material such as feces, grease, or hazardous chemicals and could cause a severe illness or even death if ingested. All contact should be avoided unless by trained technicians donning appropriate PPE. Gray water and black water such as sewage backups, unattended leaks, backups, or overflows should be considered an emergency and dealt with as quickly as possible.
