The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
