Disinfection Services in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Floodwater Surface Disinfection
Water from outside carries soil and bacteria. The pros clean every surface it reached before disinfecting, since disinfectant works only on clean surfaces.
Contents Sanitizing After Water Damage
Furniture, toys and household items are cleaned and sanitized after water damage, or listed for the insurer if they cannot be saved.
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.
Odor Control After Water Damage
If a smell returns after cleanup, moisture or residue is usually still hidden in a wall cavity, under flooring or in a duct.
Sewage Backup Sanitization
The area is contained during cleanup so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms, then surfaces are cleaned, disinfected and dried.
When You Need Disinfection After Flooding
Wet Carpet That Smells
Carpet that smells sour or musty after getting wet has bacteria in the pad, which usually means the pad has to go.
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.
Musty Odor That Will Not Leave
A musty smell that lingers after drying usually means wet or dirty material is still hidden in a wall, floor or duct.

Ducts That Took on Water

Disinfection Questions Answered
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.
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.
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.
What happens to belongings during contents sanitizing after water damage?
Hard items such as metal, glass and plastic can often be cleaned and disinfected. Soft items like mattresses and stuffed toys usually cannot.
