FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood

What is sanitization after water damage?

It is cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces and belongings that dirty water touched, and removing materials that cannot be cleaned.

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?

Yes. Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. Keep people and pets away until it has been cleaned up and disinfected.

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.

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.
