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 further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

Local housing, population and access details can shape containment, access and cleanup planning.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
