Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Charleston Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
