Operating a large retailer presents unique challenges compared to many other types of businesses in Chicago.

Understanding Black Water Damage in Commercial Settings

There are three main categories of water damage, rated based on the cleanliness of the water:

• Clean water damages are typically considered category 1 damages because the water is clean enough to drink and carries minimal additional risk.
• Gray water, or category 2, damages, are those that come from relatively clean sources that might have substances mixed in. This can include soaps and detergents from appliance overflows.
• Black water, or category 3, poses the most risk because of sanitary concerns. This can include plumbing failures that cause sewage backups, ground floods, wastewater, and even water damage from fish tanks.
