West Pittston Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
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.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
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.
