The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
HIV and hepatitis B and C may remain in blood. The CDC reports that surfaces can hold infectious hepatitis B for at least seven days.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
