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.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
