Health and safety
Mid-North District Home Biohazards and Serious Health Risks
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

First steps
What You Should Do Before Contacting Mid-North District Biohazard Cleaners
For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
- Keep away from the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
- Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
- Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.
