Mud or Silt on Floors

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.
Stains Around Fixtures
Dark stains on the floor around a toilet or tub can mean a slow leak of dirty water that has soaked the subfloor.

Water from a toilet, floor drain or tub backup can carry bacteria even if it looks clear. Surfaces it reached should be disinfected.

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

Roof Leaks Into Insulation
Rain soaking attic insulation for weeks can leave damp, dirty material that needs removal and cleaning.
Overflowing Floor Drains
Floor drains in garages and laundry rooms can back up during heavy rain or a main line clog, bringing dirty water inside.
