The answer to this is twofold – some things will be salvageable and some will not. Many items will be considered unsalvageable, but our team is trained and certified to identify what can be saved and what can't. Many porous materials are extremely difficult to sanitize and attempts to sanitize should only be performed by IICRC professionals. Most non-porous materials are easily sanitized and can be saved. IICRC standards say that saturated materials that cannot be washed in water at a temperature of at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit for at least ten minutes must be removed and properly disposed of. This includes things like:

• Carpet and Carpet Padding
