Our technicians also use EPA-registered broad-spectrum disinfectants when cleaning flood-damaged homes. We mix the products in the dilution ratios that the label has recommended and the application methods specified. When applying the products, our SERVPRO technicians use methods and quantities that allow the solution to physically contact all the contaminated surfaces and materials. We also allow enough dwell time for the solutions to be effective.

Our SERVPRO water restoration technicians (WRT) also take steps to dry a home thoroughly. We can use high-volume air movers and dehumidifiers to dry affected areas.
