Call at any time. A cleanup specialist can explain the next steps.
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
