Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
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.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Salmonella, E. coli and hepatitis A are risks in raw sewage, and moisture may lead to mold on materials within 24 to 48 hours.
