Frequently Asked Questions About Sanitization & Disinfection Services
Can I stay home during sewage cleanup sanitization?
Often, if the affected area is closed off. People with health problems, infants and older adults may want to stay elsewhere during sewage cleanup.
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 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.
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.
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.
