Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Somerville: What It Is and What It Covers
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Memphis Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
