        "text": "Floodwater is categorized into three types: Category 1 (clean water) from sources like burst pipes; Category 2 (grey water) from dishwashers or washing machines; and Category 3 (black water), which is highly contaminated from sewage, river overflows, or toilet backflows. The water category dictates the cleanup and safety protocols. Category 3 water, for example, requires specialized handling and disposal of affected porous materials due to severe health risks, making professional intervention essential.",
