Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Albany Means and Includes
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.

- Do not attempt your own cleanup. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
- Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Albany Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
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.
