The July 2023 floods inundated downtown Montpelier and many other Vermont communities. Events like these are why hoarding cleanup needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.
Regulations
Biohazardous and medical waste are regulated primarily at the state level in Vermont, and workplace cleanup is subject to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Cleanup should use trained technicians and compliant disposal.
Floodwater and sewage contamination
Flooding in Vermont often pushes sewage into basements and lower floors. Sewage is Category 3 water, so affected porous materials are removed and the area is disinfected.
Sewer backups in basements
Basements common in Vermont are where sewer backups usually surface, through floor drains and lower-level toilets. A backwater valve can help prevent repeat backups.
