When Edmonton Properties Need Sanitization
Contaminated water in basements
Water from a sewer backup or floodwater carries bacteria and viruses into flooring, framing and contents. Drying alone does not make these materials safe: they need cleaning, disinfection and, where porous, removal.
Wildfire smoke and ash
In July 2024, smoke from the Jasper wildfires pushed Environment Canada's Air Quality Health Index to 10+ for Edmonton, St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona County. Smoke leaves residue and odour on surfaces and in soft furnishings, and air treatment and cleaning help clear them.
Biohazards and regulated waste
Blood and other biological material need careful handling. Biomedical waste is a class 6.2 dangerous good under federal transport rules, so it is packaged and removed properly. Work that touches asbestos falls under Alberta's OHS rules, which include notice to Alberta OHS before work starts.
How We Handle Sanitization Services in Edmonton
- You call (587) 315-1498. We ask what happened and which areas are affected, and we schedule service.
- We remove debris and heavy contamination so disinfectants can reach the surface.
- We clean and disinfect surfaces with products matched to the contaminant and the pathogens involved, following label dwell times.
- We treat the air with HEPA filtration and handle deodorization at the odour source.
- We document the work for your records, your insurance, or your facility's protocol.

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 odours 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 (587) 315-1498 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.
