Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
