Questions About Sanitizing After Water Damage
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.
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.
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.
Does clean water damage need disinfection after flooding?
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.
Should food be thrown out before disinfection after flooding?
Yes, any food, medicine or cosmetics that touched floodwater or sewage should be thrown out, even if the package looks sealed.
