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.
Floodwater Came From Outside
Water that came in across the yard or street carries soil and bacteria, so everything it touched needs cleaning and disinfection.
Mud or Silt on Floors
A film of mud or silt left after water goes down needs to be cleaned off before any disinfectant can work.
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.

Sanitization After Water Damage: Common Triggers in Colton
Washer and Dishwasher Drain Backups

A full septic tank or failing drain field can push sewage back into the house through the lowest drains.

It often does when the water loss itself is covered. Sewage backups may need a separate endorsement. Your insurer decides.

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

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