When Akron-Canton Properties Need Sanitization
After floodwater and sewer backups
River and creek flooding along the Cuyahoga, the Tuscarawas, and Nimishillen Creek, and sewer backups after intense storms, leave contamination on every surface the water touched. Drying alone does not make those surfaces safe. We clean and disinfect before rebuilding.
Shared and high-traffic spaces
Offices, schools, churches, gyms, and apartment common areas collect contamination on high-touch surfaces. Healthcare-adjacent offices near the area's hospital campuses often need documented cleaning between uses.
Contents recovered after a loss
Furniture, toys, tools, and stored items that sat in floodwater or sewage need cleaning and disinfection before they come back into the house. We sort what can be cleaned from what must be discarded, document the discarded items for your claim, and disinfect the rest before it is returned.
Illness, pets, and hoarding
Homes affected by illness, animal waste, or hoarding conditions need disinfection of floors, walls, fixtures, and contents. We remove what cannot be cleaned and disinfect what remains.
How We Handle Sanitization Services in Akron-Canton

When You Need Sanitization, and What To Do First
- Any area touched by floodwater or sewage
- A home or workplace after a contagious illness
- Animal waste, pests, or hoarding conditions
- Persistent odors that cleaning does not remove
- A rental unit between tenants after unsanitary conditions
- Contents recovered from a flooded or contaminated space
Keep people, especially children and anyone with a weakened immune system, away from contaminated areas. Do not mix household cleaners, which can release dangerous fumes. Call (216) 528-6127 and we will plan the sanitization.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on the contaminant, the size of the area, and the materials. Hard, nonporous surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected. Porous materials that absorbed floodwater or sewage are usually removed. We list the areas, methods, and products in a written scope.
A single room or office suite can often be completed in a day. Whole homes, larger facilities, and post-flood or post-sewage work take longer because they follow extraction, removal, and drying.
For businesses, we can schedule sanitization after hours and provide a record of the areas treated, the products used, and the dwell times followed. That record is useful for facility managers, landlords, and insurers who need to know the space was handled properly before people return. For homes, we explain which items were cleaned, which were discarded, and why, so you can make decisions about replacing belongings with your adjuster. Where contamination came from a flood or sewer backup, the sanitization is completed before rebuilding so new materials are not installed over untreated surfaces.
