Disinfection and sanitizing in Joliet is the step between tear-out and drying on any Category 2 or Category 3 water job. Once contaminated materials are out, everything left behind still needs cleaning before the space is closed back up.

Disinfectant doesn't work on dirty surfaces. Our crew washes concrete, framing and hard floors with a detergent first to lift soil and organic matter. Then we apply a registered disinfectant and leave it for the dwell time printed on the label, which is often ten minutes. Wiping it off early is the most common reason disinfection comes up short.

Studs and joists get sprayed and brushed. Concrete slabs are scrubbed with a floor machine or deck brush and rinsed with extraction. HVAC returns in the affected area get checked, since a basement furnace can pull contaminated air through the rest of the house.

After a sewage backup, we treat everything the water touched, plus a margin beyond the wet line. Nothing gets rebuilt until surfaces are clean and dry.

This step is part of sewer line backup cleanup and Category 3 water cleanup. We also do it on its own after smaller spills. Call (815) 595-0220.

Water damage restoration FAQs

Questions about water damage restoration and sewage backup cleanup

Questions we hear most often about Disinfection & Sanitizing in Joliet, IL.

Talk to our crew
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
No. Carpet and pad that touched sewage are Category 3 materials and have to be removed. Carpet wet from a clean water supply line can often be extracted, dried and steam cleaned if we get to it within a day or two.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Extraction and tear-out usually happen on the first day. Drying runs three to five days on most jobs. We check moisture readings daily and pull equipment when the framing reads the same as dry parts of the house.
Is flood damage from the Des Plaines River covered by a regular policy?
Rising water from outside is usually excluded from a regular homeowners policy and needs a separate flood policy. Water from a burst pipe inside the house is treated differently. Your agent can tell you which applies.
What happens to my sump pump water?
Sump water comes from the drain tile around your foundation and carries soil and groundwater contamination, so we treat it as Category 2. Carpet pad and drywall that soaked it up usually come out. The slab and framing get cleaned and dried.
What does a pipe freeze in winter look like?
Nothing leaks while the pipe is frozen. The split opens in the stretch between the ice and the closed faucet, and water starts flowing when it thaws. Exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages are the common spots during a cold snap.
