Frequently Asked Questions About Sanitization & Disinfection Services

Is kitchen disinfection after leaks needed after a dishwasher leak?

Drain water from a dishwasher contains food waste. The cabinet base and floor should be cleaned and dried, and disinfected if water sat for long.

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.

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.

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.

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.
