Water extraction Coldwater can be affected by three major factors and that is the labor cost, kind or category of water to be extracted, and the materials needed. The type of water that affects your home will have a great impact on the price. There are three categories of water. Category 1 is usually caused by damaged plumbing or broken water lines. They are considered to be clean water and may cost less to be extracted. Category 2, or commonly known as gray water, may be caused by damaged appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. This kind of water can be contaminated by chemicals that are less hazardous to health and may cost more to extract than category 1 water. The last and the most expensive one to be extracted is the category 3 or black water. This kind of water is usually contaminated with hazardous substances like chemicals. They also contain bacterial growth and germs that are very dangerous to anyone, making the extraction really expensive.
