Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning.

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Blood may contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that surfaces can hold infectious hepatitis B for at least seven days.
Sprays and bleach treat the visible surface yet do not reach fluids below carpet, inside padding, under floors or within drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
