When Boise Properties Need Sanitization
Sewage and storm drain back-ups
The City of Boise Public Works says to call its sewer line immediately for back-ups, overflows or raw sewage on the ground. Storm drains also backed up in Caldwell during the June 26, 2026 storm. Surfaces that touched sewage or street water are cleaned and disinfected, and porous materials are removed.
Wildfire smoke indoors
Smoke from a Boise Foothills fire in July 2026 affected air quality from Boise through Nampa. Idaho DEQ publishes smoke forecasts and advises an indoor air purifier. After heavy smoke, HEPA filtration, surface cleaning and duct checks help clear soot and odor.
Mold after moisture
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare does not test or inspect homes for mold and says mold should be removed and the moisture source fixed. Antimicrobial treatment follows drying, never replaces it.

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 (208) 279-1590 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.
What We Sanitize
- Basements after floods and sewer backups
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Offices and common areas
- Schools, churches, and daycares
- Gyms and locker rooms
- Rental units between tenants
- HVAC registers and returns
- Recovered contents
