Can carpet sanitizing after a flood save sewage-soaked carpet?

Does insurance pay for disinfection after flooding?

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.

Why is sewage cleanup sanitization needed?

Sewage can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. Keep people and pets away until it has been cleaned up and disinfected.

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.
