Disinfection Questions Answered

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.

What is an antimicrobial treatment?

It is a product applied to cleaned framing and subfloors that stayed wet, to limit odor and mold before walls are closed up.

How long does sanitization after water damage take?

Cleaning and disinfecting often take a day or two, and drying usually takes three to five more days depending on the area.
