Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Albany Homes and Businesses
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.

Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
