Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
