A 1973 median build year points to varied interior finishes, so each affected material needs its own cleaning or removal decision.

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
