Water Category 2 (Gray Water)

Category 2 water carries some contamination. It comes from sources such as a washing machine discharge, a dishwasher overflow, or a toilet bowl with urine but no solid waste. It can cause discomfort or illness if a person swallows it or has long contact with it. A restoration crew treats Category 2 water with more caution than clean water, including cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces it touched.
