What Sanitization After Water Damage Covers in Pueblo West
Duct Cleaning After Water Damage
When floodwater or a leak reaches ductwork, the ducts are checked and cleaned before the system runs again.
Carpet Sanitizing After Water Damage
Carpet and furniture that got wet from clean water can often be extracted, dried and sanitized. Items soaked by sewage or floodwater usually cannot.
Floodwater Surface Disinfection
Floors, lower walls and cabinets touched by floodwater are cleaned to remove mud and residue, then treated with a registered disinfectant.
Antimicrobial Disinfection Treatment
Framing, subfloors and the backs of drywall that stayed wet are treated with an antimicrobial before walls are closed up.
Odor Control After Water Damage
Air scrubbers and deodorizing treatments handle odor left in the air and on dried surfaces after cleanup.
When You Need Disinfection After Flooding
Sewage Smell in the House
A sewer smell after a backup or overflow means waste is still on surfaces or inside materials and needs cleaning and disinfection.
Allergy Symptoms After a Leak
Sneezing or stuffy noses that start after a leak can point to damp materials that need drying and cleaning.
Belongings Sat in Dirty Water
Toys, furniture and stored items that sat in dirty water need to be cleaned and disinfected or thrown out.
Stains Around Fixtures
Dark stains on the floor around a toilet or tub can mean a slow leak of dirty water that has soaked the subfloor.

Sanitization After Water Damage: DIY or Professional?
Wear gloves and boots if you have to walk through dirty water, and keep children and pets away. Do not track it into clean rooms.
What Drives Sanitization Cost After a Water Loss
Costs rise when dirty water sat for a few days, because it soaks deeper into materials and leaves a stronger odor behind.
Access
Crawl spaces, tight bathrooms and areas under cabinets take longer to clean than open floors.
Odor Control
Air scrubbers and deodorizing treatments for strong odors add equipment time to the job.
Size of the Area
Each room that needs cleaning and disinfecting adds labor, cleaning products and drying equipment to the job.
Does Insurance Cover Sanitization & Disinfection Services?

Disinfection Questions Answered
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.
Is kitchen disinfection after leaks needed after a dishwasher leak?
Drain water from a dishwasher contains food waste. The cabinet base and floor should be cleaned and dried, and disinfected if water sat for long.
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.
Should food be thrown out before disinfection after flooding?
Yes, any food, medicine or cosmetics that touched floodwater or sewage should be thrown out, even if the package looks sealed.
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.
