When Colorado Springs Properties Need Sanitization
Flood water is contaminated
Fountain Creek and Arkansas River water, and runoff off burn scars, carries soil, debris and bacteria. Anything it touched in a basement, from carpet to stored boxes, needs cleaning and disinfection after the water is out.
Sewage and drain backups
A backup carries pathogens onto floors and into wall cavities. After removal of porous materials, we clean and apply disinfectant to hard surfaces, and treat the air to remove odor.
Trauma and biohazard scenes
Colorado has waste rules for trauma scene cleanup. We handle containment, cleaning and the disposal of contaminated materials according to those rules and treat the room discreetly.

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 (719) 220-1040 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.

- 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
