Biohazard Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Walker's Point, Milwaukee, WI
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
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.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
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.
How do I know the decontamination worked?
A good team inspects every treated surface, treats leftover odors and explains what it did. Some teams add swab tests. Ask what the final check includes and ask for a record of the work. Testing rules vary by place.
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
