A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal of contaminated material and the disinfection of the affected area. Crews wear PPE, remove what cannot be cleaned and haul waste by the rules. The goal is a space that no longer poses a health risk.
Ask what the cleanup involves before anyone sets foot on your property.
