leaking from roof,
If water is leaking from the roof, the **category** of water damage depends on the **source and cleanliness** of the water.
- **Category 1 (Clean Water)**: If the water is from a clean source, such as rainwater that hasn’t mixed with contaminants, it falls under Category 1. This type of water poses no immediate health risk.
- **Category 2 (Gray Water)**: If the water has become **contaminated** as it flows through roofing materials, insulation, or dust, it might be considered Category 2. This water is considered unsafe for direct contact.
- **Category 3 (Black Water)**: If the roof leak is caused by **flooding** or the water has passed through materials that contain **hazardous substances** like mold, bacteria, or chemicals, it would be categorized as Category 3. This water is highly contaminated and poses serious health risks.
Roof leaks typically fall between **Category 1 or 2**, depending on how long the water has been standing and what it has come into contact with before entering the living space.
-------------------------------------
The water category for a roof leak generally depends on **time**, the environment it passes through, and its source:
1. **Category 1 (Clean Water)**: When the leak starts, the water is usually **clean**, especially if it’s fresh rainwater. If the leak is addressed **within a few hours** (and there is no contamination), it remains in this category.
2. **Category 2 (Gray Water)**: Over time, as the water travels through roofing materials, insulation, or debris, it can pick up **contaminants**. If the leak is not addressed and the water sits for **24-48 hours**, it can become gray water.
3. **Category 3 (Black Water)**: After **48 hours or more**, water that remains stagnant or has mixed with organic materials, dirt, or other contaminants from the roof can turn into **black water**, which is highly hazardous and unsafe.
Thus, the **timeframe** typically follows:
- **0-24 hours**: Category 1 (clean water)
- **24-48 hours**: Category 2 (gray water)
- **48+ hours**: Category 3 (black water)
Addressing the issue quickly helps avoid contamination.
