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.

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.

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.

Will odor removal and sanitization get rid of the smell?

Yes, once the soaked materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned, disinfected and dried. Air scrubbers handle what lingers in the air.
