Common Biohazard Situations in Guilford County
Unattended death and decomposition
When a death goes unnoticed for days, decomposition fluids reach flooring and subfloor and the odor spreads. Death cleanup removes the affected materials and treats the odor at the source.
Older adults living alone
About 38% is the census figure for older adults living alone in Greensboro. When a person dies alone, days may pass before anyone knows, and unattended death cleanup follows.
Infectious disease, drugs and sharps
Homes, churches and businesses may need infectious disease disinfection, needle and sharps cleanup, or meth lab and fentanyl decontamination after a property is released.
Businesses, churches and public spaces
Offices, shops, churches and other public spaces may need cleanup after an injury, illness outbreak or break-in. The work is planned around staff, customers and reopening dates.
Suicide cleanup
Families should never have to clean up after a suicide. Discreet suicide cleanup removes all traces with care and respect. Crisis support is available any time at 988.
Heat and decomposition
An average July high of 89 degrees in O. Henry Oaks speeds up decomposition after a death. The sooner the scene is released and cleaned, the less the odor and fluids spread.
Health Risks of Biohazards and How Cleanup Jobs Are Sized
Understanding the type and size of a biohazard helps owners know what to expect. Small, contained jobs move fast, while large or hidden contamination takes longer and calls for more removal.
Types of biohazards and their health risks
- Blood and bodily fluids. Can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, even after drying.
- Decomposition. Fluids soak into flooring and subfloor, attract insects and leave a strong death odor.
- Sharps and medical waste. Needles and soiled materials that must leave as regulated medical waste.
- Sewage, animal waste and drug residue. Bacteria such as E. coli, hantavirus from rodent droppings, and meth or fentanyl residue.
Job sizes
- Small: One spot or one surface, such as a blood spill, often done in a few hours.
- Medium: One room, with carpet, padding or drywall removed.
- Large: Several rooms, or fluids that reached the subfloor or HVAC.
- Whole property: Hoarder houses, meth labs or full building decontamination.
First Steps Before Biohazard Cleanup Begins in O. Henry Oaks
- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or in danger.
- Treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Do not touch, clean or throw anything away.
- Plan access for the cleanup crew: a key, a lockbox or a property manager.
- If someone is in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and stay with the person until help arrives.
- Do not use a shop vacuum, mop or bleach on blood or bodily fluids, since that can spread the contamination.
- Call (877) 812-4220 and describe what happened. A cleanup specialist can explain the next steps before anyone enters.
