You may be wondering how long you should wait before cleaning up after water damage occurs answer depends on several factors including:
- How much moisture has been left behind?
- What kind of material is damaged? For example, carpeting can absorb liquids faster than hardwood flooring could. Fiberglass tubs and sinks, however, could be warped with excessive moisture.
Next…
- Is the water clean or dirty? A small leak may cause less damage compared to a large burst pipe that spills sewage all over your home.
- Was freshwater involved in the accident or saltwater (the latter is more corrosive)? Salt can corrode metal items like hinges and railings on stairs so quickly—and it’s hard to remove once it has set into those surfaces! Disinfection services are essential for homes damaged by both types of water. Once you’ve determined if there’s enough time before nightfall/daylight hours end then call now for professional disinfection service options. With just one phone call NOW will be free consultations about what type of disinfection services you need.
- How do I disinfect my home after water damage? There are a variety of ways to clean and sanitize your home, but not all methods have been approved by the EPA as being effective in killing bacteria and viruses that may be present after water damages. For example, bleach is commonly used for cleaning up household spills or messes from pets who relieve themselves inside. However, if there has been an accident with sewage then it’s important NOT to use bleach because this can create toxic fumes while it evaporates away (the chlorine gas produced is extremely harmful). It’s also very bad news to mix ammonia with bleach since this creates chloramine gas which can cause respiratory problems even when inhaled at low levels! A professional, industrial-grade disinfectant is the best option to clean and sanitize your home after water damage.
