Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in South Charleston Means and Includes
After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Charleston Businesses and Homes
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
