What Hopkins Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
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.
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.
What is biohazard remediation?
Biohazard remediation is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is the last stage, where surfaces are disinfected and checked. Many companies use the two terms for the same job.
How much does biohazard decontamination cost?
The price depends on the size of the area, the materials, the type of contamination, waste, odor treatment and travel. The team can give a figure after it sees the site or hears the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
