Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.

Explain the situation. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.
To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.
Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.
