Questions About Sanitizing After Water Damage

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.

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.

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.

When is duct cleaning after water damage needed?

If water got into floor vents or ducts, yes. Silt and moisture left inside can spread odor when the system runs.

How do professional sanitization services decide what kind of water it was?

They look at where it came from. Supply line water is clean, while toilet, drain, sewer and outside water are treated as contaminated.
