The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.
Crime scenes, unattended deaths and other traumatic events in Marshall Square call for specialized cleaning, not household products.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Salmonella, E. coli and hepatitis A are risks in raw sewage, and moisture may lead to mold on materials within 24 to 48 hours.
Blood may contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces 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. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
