Wet Carpet That Smells
Carpet that smells sour or musty after getting wet has bacteria in the pad, which usually means the pad has to go.

Items the water touched are sorted into those that can be cleaned and those that must be thrown out, with photos for your claim.
Step 3: Antimicrobial Treatment
Studs, subfloors and the backs of walls that stayed wet are treated after cleaning to limit odor and mold.

Air scrubbers run during and after cleanup to remove odor and particles from the air.

Disinfection Questions Answered
Should food be thrown out before disinfection after flooding?
Yes, any food, medicine or cosmetics that touched floodwater or sewage should be thrown out, even if the package looks sealed.
Will odor removal and sanitization get rid of the smell?
Yes, once the soaked materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned, disinfected and dried. Air scrubbers handle what lingers in the air.
Does insurance pay for disinfection after flooding?
It often does when the water loss itself is covered. Sewage backups may need a separate endorsement. Your insurer decides.

Often, if the affected area is closed off. People with health problems, infants and older adults may want to stay elsewhere during sewage cleanup.
