Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup.

Crime scenes, unattended deaths and other traumatic events in Amvet Village call for specialized cleaning, not household products.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
