Biohazard Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Bergen, NY

Is bleach enough to disinfect?

Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.

Do I need to be home during the work?

In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.

Does insurance cover decontamination?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.

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.

Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?

Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.

Will the neighbors know?

Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
