When Atlanta Properties Need Sanitization
After sewage or combined sewer overflow
Part of Atlanta has a combined sewer system, where heavy rain can push stormwater and sewage into creeks and back toward low areas. Anything sewage touched needs cleaning and disinfection, and porous materials are removed.
After creek and street flooding
Floodwater carries soil, runoff and bacteria into homes and shops near creeks and low streets. We clean first, then disinfect, because disinfectant does not work on dirt.
After a water outage or boil advisory
When service returns after a main break, stagnant lines, ice machines and fixtures in restaurants, clinics and offices may need cleaning and flushing before reuse. We sanitize the contact surfaces and document it.

When You Need Sanitization, and What To Do First
- Sewage or gray water on floors
- Floodwater inside after a creek overflow
- Stagnant water in lines after an outage
- Illness spreading in an office, school or unit
- Odor from a drain or wet material
- Surfaces touched by bodily fluids
Stay out of areas touched by sewage or floodwater, keep children and pets away and do not run fans that spread contaminated air. Then call (470) 287-3895 and we will explain what comes next.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
A single bathroom backup may take a day. A flooded floor with soaked drywall takes longer because material comes out before disinfection.
Commercial spaces get a written record of the work, which helps with inspectors, tenants and insurers.
We work with your plumber or the city when the source is outside the building.
What We Sanitize
- Floors, walls and baseboards
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Restaurant equipment and ice machines
- Offices and shared workspaces
- HVAC surfaces and ducts
- Furniture and soft goods
