FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
