Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
