Bleach does not clean. It works only on surfaces that are already clean, it can damage some materials, and it should never be mixed with other cleaners.

What Drives Sanitization Cost After a Water Loss

The cost of sanitization and disinfection in Hillside depends on the type of water, the size of the area and how much material has to be removed.

Size of the Area

Each room that needs cleaning and disinfecting adds labor, cleaning products and drying equipment to the job.

Time Before Cleanup

Dirty water that sat for days soaks deeper and leaves more odor, so more material comes out.

Materials Removed

Carpet, pad, drywall and insulation that soaked up dirty water are removed and disposed of, which adds cost.

Does Insurance Cover Sanitization & Disinfection Services?

Disinfection is often covered as part of a covered water loss, such as a burst pipe. Your insurer decides what is covered.

FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood

How do professional sanitization services decide what kind of water it was?

They look at where it came from. Supply line water is clean, while toilet, drain, sewer and outside water are treated as contaminated.

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.

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.

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.
