Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Germantown: 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.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. 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
Greater Memphis Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
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.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
