The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
HIV and hepatitis B and C may remain in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Salmonella, E. coli and hepatitis A are risks in raw sewage, and moisture may lead to mold on materials within 24 to 48 hours.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
