Contents Sanitizing After Water Damage

Floodwater Surface Disinfection

Floors, lower walls and cabinets touched by floodwater are cleaned to remove mud and residue, then treated with a registered disinfectant.

Sewage Backup Sanitization

Signs You Need Sanitization After Water Damage

Sewage Smell in the House

A sewer smell after a backup or overflow means waste is still on surfaces or inside materials and needs cleaning and disinfection.

Wet Carpet That Smells

Carpet that smells sour or musty after getting wet has bacteria in the pad, which usually means the pad has to go.

Allergy Symptoms After a Leak

Sneezing or stuffy noses that start after a leak can point to damp materials that need drying and cleaning.

FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood

What is sanitization after water damage?

It is cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces and belongings that dirty water touched, and removing materials that cannot be cleaned.

Can carpet sanitizing after a flood save sewage-soaked carpet?

Usually not. Carpet and pad soaked with sewage are removed. Carpet wet from clean water can often be extracted, dried and cleaned.

Why is sewage cleanup sanitization needed?

Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. Keep people and pets away until it has been cleaned up and disinfected.

Can mold come back after sanitization after water damage?

Mold needs moisture. If the area is dried to normal readings and the leak is fixed, mold is unlikely to return.

Does insurance pay for disinfection after flooding?

It often does when the water loss itself is covered. Sewage backups may need a separate endorsement. Your insurer decides.
