Yes, with time. Water that started as Category 1 clean water becomes Category 2 after 24 to 48 hours of sitting and biological growth. After 48 hours or contact with structural contaminants, it becomes Category 3. This is why fast extraction matters.

Move stored items off the basement floor if you can do so safely. Take photos and videos of the damage for your records. Locate your insurance policy and have the policy number ready. Do not enter the basement if you suspect contaminated water or active electrical hazards.
