Contents Sanitizing After Water Damage

Hard belongings such as metal, glass and plastic that touched dirty water are cleaned and disinfected. Soft items that soaked it up are usually discarded.

Floodwater Came From Outside

Toilet or Drain Overflow

Water from a toilet, floor drain or tub backup can carry bacteria even if it looks clear. Surfaces it reached should be disinfected.

Overflowing Floor Drains

Floor drains in garages and laundry rooms can back up during heavy rain or a main line clog, bringing dirty water inside.

A clogged toilet that overflows spreads water that may carry bacteria across the bathroom and into nearby rooms.

Disinfection Questions Answered

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.

Is bleach enough for disinfection after flooding?

Bleach works only on clean, hard surfaces and cannot clean porous materials. Removing soaked items and cleaning surfaces come first.

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.

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.

What should I do while I wait for emergency sanitization?

Keep everyone away from dirty water, stop using drains if sewage is backing up, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe and take photos.
