Health and safety
Why Household Biohazards Pose Serious Health Risks in Pistakee Highlands
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
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.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

First steps
What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Pistakee Highlands
This is a one-time experience for most people. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.
Call (888) 440-9227- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
- Keep away from the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
- Do not try to clean it yourself. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
- Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.
