Crews serve Haw River, Green Level, Graham and the rest of Alamance County.
Homes in Haw River have a median build year of 1970, older than most homes across North Carolina. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal. Older adults make up about 10% of residents in Haw River, below the North Carolina average, so calls come from a broad mix of situations, including accidents, crime scenes and rental turnovers.
Infectious materials call for infection control, not just cleaning. Biohazard remediation crews use respirators, gloves and disposable coveralls under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), then bag every contaminated item for proper disposal.
Real decontamination reaches what the eye cannot see. Fluids travel under flooring and into baseboards, so crews check beneath and behind surfaces, remove affected materials and disinfect the exposed area before odor treatment begins.

Biohazard cleaning is the safe removal of infectious or contaminated material and the disinfection of whatever it touched. Crews wear protective equipment, remove porous materials that cannot be made safe, and dispose of the waste under medical waste rules. It goes far beyond ordinary housecleaning.
Only what cannot be made safe. Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstered furniture that soaked up fluids are usually removed. Hard surfaces and many belongings can be cleaned and disinfected instead.
A biohazard is any biological material that can carry germs and make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, tissue, sewage, used needles, animal waste and the fluids from decomposition. Anything that has touched them can also become contaminated.
Describe what happened, where it is, how big the area is and whether police have released the scene. Mention any insurance claim, pets, valuables or access issues. The more detail you share, the clearer the plan and cost range can be.
It varies by the germ. Hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days, and other pathogens last for different periods. Because nobody can tell by looking, all blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
