Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
