What Somerset Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
What is biohazard remediation?
Biohazard remediation is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is the last stage, where surfaces are disinfected and checked. Many companies use the two terms for the same job.
What are the biological hazards in a home?
Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
What is considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
