What Biohazard Decontamination Means for Duboistown Properties
Biohazard decontamination is the process of making a contaminated space safe again by removing visible material, cleaning every surface and applying a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. It is also called biohazard remediation.

About 90% of homes in Duboistown were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes. Vacant homes, about 11% of those in Lycoming County, are often decontaminated before a sale or a new tenant moves in.

- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into

Duboistown Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
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.
Is bleach enough to disinfect?
Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
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.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
