Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Chicagoland Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
