Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Step 5 in the Water Repair and Restoration Process is cleaning and sanitizing.  After a major water loss the structure of your home will most likely require our professional cleaning services.  The same typically applies to the contents of the home and SERVPRO of Sussex County specializes in restoring your homes contents wherever possible. Restore versus replace means that your keepsakes will hopefully be brought back to their original state.  Additional  phases of Step 5 may include removal of odor and the need for sanitizing with antimicrobial and disinfectants to guard against possible secondary damage such as mold. We will also avail services to dispose of all affected materials.
