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.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
