Disinfection Questions Answered

What happens to belongings during contents sanitizing after water damage?

Hard items such as metal, glass and plastic can often be cleaned and disinfected. Soft items like mattresses and stuffed toys usually cannot.

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

Usually not, if it is dried within a day or two. Clean water that sits for several days can start to grow bacteria and may need treatment.

They look at where it came from. Supply line water is clean, while toilet, drain, sewer and outside water are treated as contaminated.
