Hello, after any additional thoughts or factors to be considered. We are to look at a flood damaged property, that is now dry but has been contaminated by sewerage that is now dry. Anyone any specific experience with this please?

Hi. Personal experience of dealing with sewerage contamination: plaster completely removed from walls, flooring back to concrete slab. Then disinfectant spray and drying before any plastering and flooring could go back in. This was dealt with well by my household insurers.
This was a leakage, not flood therefore no damage or contamination to the furniture. Electric socket merely needed a drain and wipe down and reset the breaker.
There are several companies who specialise in remedial and decontamination works and for a flood scenario I would be looking to one of them for support, prior to exposing any of my employees to potential harmful substances or organisms. Dry does not necessarily mean decontaminated.

Dry also means aerosols, so could potentially be more hazardous than wet.

I'd go with David Bannister. Use a specialist because you need to know where to look for unexpected deposits of ... under floors, within wall cavities and the like. Are your property insurers involved as they probably have the best contacts?
