What Lower West Side Biohazard Cleanup Means and Includes

Health and safety
Biohazards in Lower West Side Homes and Their Serious Health Risks
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.

Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
