Sneezing or stuffy noses that start after a leak can point to damp materials that need drying and cleaning.

Questions About Sanitizing After Water Damage

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.

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.

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.

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.
