Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
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.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
