Biohazard Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Lexington, OH
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.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
