Drying
After the water is removed, the affected area will need to be dried out to prevent further damage and mold growth. This can be done using dehumidifiers, fans, and other drying equipment.
Cleaning
Once the area is dry, any remaining dirt or debris will need to be cleaned up. This may involve disinfecting the area to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.

What Are The Different Types of Water?
There are three categories of water, which are based on the level of contamination and its source. They include the following:
1
Category One
Clean water, such as an overflowing sink, comes from a sanitary source. Aside from flood damage, clean water does not pose a significant health threat.
2
Category Two
Grey water, such as a broken sump pump, is considered unsafe because of contamination from bacteria, microorganisms or chemicals. Grey water poses a health risk and can cause illness if ingested, touched or inhaled.
3
Category Three
Black water, such as a sewage backup, contains harmful organisms and biohazards that can lead to severe sickness.
