Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
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. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
