What steps can be taken to sanitize and/or cleasne and deodorize a
poured concrete basement floor after experiencing a septic tank/waste
water backup?
Should this be done professionally ? Perhaps, an insurance claim ?
Our basement is an unfinished space. I have removed the soaked
piece of carpet that was there, swepped the solids and mopped up the
waste liquid.
Bleach and water. 10% bleach 90% water is adequate if using Clorox
Industrial grade (5% active ingredient).
Cheaper bleach mix it stronger.
Spread the bleach water with a wet mop and let it sit for 3 minutes. Use a
dry mop to pick it up.
This would even kill the AIDS virus if it were present.
Repeat with plain water if desired.
