Cleaning and Disinfection Services in Signal Hill
Antimicrobial Disinfection Treatment
Framing, subfloors and the backs of drywall that stayed wet are treated with an antimicrobial before walls are closed up.
Sewage Backup Sanitization
After sewage is extracted, floors, fixtures and studs are cleaned and disinfected, and soaked drywall and carpet are removed and bagged.
Floodwater Surface Disinfection
Water from outside carries soil and bacteria. The pros clean every surface it reached before disinfecting, since disinfectant works only on clean surfaces.

Signs You Need Sanitization After Water Damage
Mud or Silt on Floors
A film of mud or silt left after water goes down needs to be cleaned off before any disinfectant can work.
Allergy Symptoms After a Leak
Sneezing or stuffy noses that start after a leak can point to damp materials that need drying and cleaning.
Water Got Into Floor Vents
Water in floor vents or ducts leaves moisture and silt that can spread odor through the house when the system runs.
Floodwater Came From Outside
Water that came in across the yard or street carries soil and bacteria, so everything it touched needs cleaning and disinfection.
How Sanitization & Disinfection Services Work in Signal Hill
Step 1: Identify the Water
The pros check where the water came from, since clean, drain and sewage water each need different cleanup.
Step 2: Remove Contaminated Materials
Carpet pad, drywall and insulation that soaked up dirty water are cut out and bagged.
Step 3: Clean Surfaces
Floors, walls, cabinets and fixtures are scrubbed to remove mud, waste and residue before disinfecting.

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