Contents Sanitizing After Water Damage

Furniture, toys and household items are cleaned and sanitized after water damage, or listed for the insurer if they cannot be saved.

Questions About Sanitizing After Water Damage

How do professional sanitization services decide what kind of water it was?

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

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.

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.

Will odor removal and sanitization get rid of the smell?

Yes, once the soaked materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned, disinfected and dried. Air scrubbers handle what lingers in the air.

When is duct cleaning after water damage needed?

If water got into floor vents or ducts, yes. Silt and moisture left inside can spread odor when the system runs.
