Questions About Sanitizing After Water Damage
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.
When is duct cleaning after water damage needed?

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.
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.
Can carpet sanitizing after a flood save sewage-soaked carpet?
