FAQ: Cleaning and Disinfecting After a Leak or Flood
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.
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.
How long does sanitization after water damage take?
Cleaning and disinfecting often take a day or two, and drying usually takes three to five more days depending on the area.
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.
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.
