What counts as a biohazard? Anything that can spread disease, such as blood, tissue, bodily fluids, human waste, raw sewage, sharps and some animal waste. In Calwa, you can get residential and commercial biohazard cleanup that removes it safely and completely, with help from Calwa Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Teams do the heavy lifting: removing carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be cleaned, bagging regulated waste, disinfecting hard surfaces and treating odor at the source. The service area runs from Calwa to Sunnyside, Mayfair and Fresno.
The average July high in Calwa is 102 degrees. Heat speeds decomposition, so an unattended death can become a larger cleanup in a short time. Only about 47% of homes in Fresno County were built before 1980, so most cleanups involve newer drywall and flooring, though fluids can still soak through to the subfloor.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
Cleaning removes soil, and disinfecting kills germs, so both steps happen. Crews use EPA-registered disinfectants and let them stay wet for the full contact time, then use air scrubbers to pull particles and odor out of the air.
