Category 2-Category 2 Water contains significant contamination and has the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if contacted or consumed by humans. Category 2 water can contain potentially unsafe levels of microorganisms or nutrients for microorganisms, as well as other organic or inorganic matter (chemical or biological). Example of category 2 water can include, but are not limited to: discharge from dishwashers or washing machines; overflows from washing machines; overflows from toilet bowls on the room side of the trap with some urine but no feces; seepage due to hydrostatic pressure; broken aquariums and punctured water beds. The cleanliness of category 2 water can deteriorate for many reasons, including but not limited to; contact with building materials; systems and contents; mixing with soils and other contaminants. Factors that influence the potential organic and inorganic load in a structure include the age and history of the structure, previous water losses, general housekeeping, the type of use of the structure, and elapsed or elevated temperature.
It is always important when you discover a water loss, to first stop the water at source, then call for help to clean up affected area. ServiceMaster of Salt Lake and ServiceMaster Cleaning in Utah County is available 24/7 with " The clean you expect. The Service you deserve"
