Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Lawndale and Philadelphia County
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
How do I know the decontamination worked?
A good team inspects every treated surface, treats leftover odors and explains what it did. Some teams add swab tests. Ask what the final check includes and ask for a record of the work. Testing rules vary by place.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
How do I choose among biohazard remediation companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What is biohazard decontamination?
