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.

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 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.

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.

What is sanitization after water damage?

It is cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces and belongings that dirty water touched, and removing materials that cannot be cleaned.
