When Troy Properties Need Sanitization
Sewage and combined-sewer backups
In older south Oakland County towns, combined sewers carry stormwater and sewage in one pipe, so heavy rain can push sewage up basement floor drains. Anything porous it touches is removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
Floodwater and wet finished basements
Water from a river, storm drain or sewer is contaminated, and carpet, drywall and insulation that stayed wet can grow mold within days. We remove what cannot be saved, dry the structure and sanitize before anything is rebuilt.
Odor and contamination in closed homes
A sealed, heated home in a Michigan winter holds odors from spoiled food, smoke, pets or neglect. We clean, disinfect and use air scrubbers and deodorizing to treat the air as well as the surfaces.

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 (248) 432-3960 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.
