FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
