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 Union Square, you can get residential and commercial biohazard cleanup that removes it safely and completely, with help from Union Square 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 Union Square to Mount Clare, Franklin Square and Baltimore city.
Renters live in about 52% of homes in Baltimore, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. Homes in Baltimore have a median build year of 1947, older than most homes across Maryland. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal.
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.
Hard surfaces get deep cleaning and a hospital-grade disinfectant from the EPA-registered list. Porous materials such as carpet, padding, mattresses and drywall that hold contamination are cut out and removed, because they cannot be made safe by wiping.

Most biohazard clean up jobs take one to three days. A small blood spill can be finished in a few hours, while an unattended death with decomposition, a hoarder house or a meth lab can take a week or longer.
Symptoms such as stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea can begin within a few hours to a few days after contact with raw sewage, depending on the germ. Sewage is a Category 3 biohazard, so it should be cleaned by a crew wearing protective gear, and anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Safe cleaning means PPE, containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning, EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time, and sealed disposal of the waste. A small household spill is a different matter than a death or crime scene, and anything larger than a few drops should be left to a crew.
