Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive 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.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
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.
