Why Professional Cleaning and Sanitization Are Key to a Safe Bathroom

A toilet backup causing water damage in your Charlotte home is not a matter of if but when it will happen. Knowing what to do when faced with this problem can help minimize the challenges this type of water incident can bring, such as:

  • Widespread Damage Issues: from seepage into tile, under vanities, and into showers

  • Dangerous Water: Often harbors contaminants such as E. coli, salmonella, and hepatitis.

  • Home Structure Damage: Prolonged exposure can deteriorate flooring, walls, and cabinetry, leading to costly bathroom repairs.

  • Persistent odors: Sewage water can leave unpleasant, lingering odors that are hard to eliminate without professional intervention.

  • Risk of cross-contamination: Without expert sanitization, bacteria and pathogens from the backup can spread throughout your home.

Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing After Water Damage

After a toilet backup, it's not just about removing the visible water. Bacteria and contaminants from the sewage can linger on surfaces and in areas you can't see, and worse, they can be spread throughout the home via foot traffic. Our team uses industry-leading methods to clean and disinfect affected surfaces, including tile, grout, and the surrounding structures.

To effectively clean and restore your bathroom to pre-damage conditions, we use a combination of proprietary cleaning agents and advanced equipment like HEPA vacuums to ensure no harmful particles are left behind. We pay special attention to areas beneath vanities and around shower bases, where moisture tends to hide. Our IICRC-certified technicians ensure your bathroom is dry and sanitized to a healthy standard.

Odor Neutralization is Part of the Restoration Process

A toilet backup can cause unpleasant odors, even after the initial cleanup. Our team is equipped with advanced odor-neutralizing tools to tackle these smells. We target and eliminate the odor at its source using specialized deodorizers, such as hydroxyl generators. The result is a clean, fresh-smelling bathroom free from musty or foul odors.

Preventing Mold Growth Through Drying and Cleaning

One of the most significant risks of untreated water damage is mold growth. Bathrooms, with their frequent humidity and moisture, are prime environments for mold, especially after water has seeped into hidden areas. Our expert team takes proactive steps to prevent mold growth. We thoroughly dry and sanitize all affected surfaces and apply antimicrobial treatments to protect your home further.

A complete water damage restoration process isn't just about drying and removing water; it's about restoring your home to a safe, livable condition. At AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte, we prioritize your home's health and protection at every step of the restoration process.
