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 is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
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.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
