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

Sewage and floodwater cost more to clean up than clean water, because more materials are removed and every surface is disinfected.

Materials Removed

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

Odor Control

Air scrubbers and deodorizing treatments for strong odors add equipment time to the job.

Time Before Cleanup

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

Disinfection Questions Answered

Is bleach enough for disinfection after flooding?

Bleach works only on clean, hard surfaces and cannot clean porous materials. Removing soaked items and cleaning surfaces come first.

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.

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.

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.

Can I stay home during sewage cleanup sanitization?

Often, if the affected area is closed off. People with health problems, infants and older adults may want to stay elsewhere during sewage cleanup.
