Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
You receive an explanation of the cleanup plan, every step involved and what can change the price ahead of any removal. Expect no pressure or surprises.
