The property manager or owner commonly coordinates and funds cleanup for a rented unit or common area.
Call any hour. A cleanup specialist can walk you through the process.
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
