Water Damage Sanitization Work in Dexter

Antimicrobial Disinfection Treatment

Framing, subfloors and the backs of drywall that stayed wet are treated with an antimicrobial before walls are closed up.

Odor Control After Water Damage

If a smell returns after cleanup, moisture or residue is usually still hidden in a wall cavity, under flooring or in a duct.

After extraction and drying, carpet is cleaned and treated to remove odor and bacteria left by the water.

How Sanitization & Disinfection Services Work in Dexter

Step 1: Identify the Water

The pros check where the water came from, since clean, drain and sewage water each need different cleanup.

Carpet pad, drywall and insulation that soaked up dirty water are cut out and bagged.

Floors, walls, cabinets and fixtures are scrubbed to remove mud, waste and residue before disinfecting.

Step 4: Disinfect and Dry

A registered disinfectant is applied to cleaned surfaces, then the area is dried with dehumidifiers and air movers.

Sanitization After Water Damage: Common Triggers in Dexter

Wet Carpet Pad

Carpet pad holds water against the floor, where bacteria grow quickly and cause odor.

Toilet Overflows

A clogged toilet that overflows spreads water that may carry bacteria across the bathroom and into nearby rooms.

Sewer Backups

A blocked sewer pipe can push sewage up through floor drains, toilets and tubs, contaminating every surface it reaches.

Ducts That Took on Water

Floor ducts that filled with water collect silt and moisture and can spread odor until they are cleaned.
