Vacant homes, about 13% of those in Memphis, are often decontaminated before a sale or a new tenant moves in. Older housing is common in Memphis, around 67% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.

- Vehicle interior decontamination for cars, vans and work trucks after a medical event
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated

2. Suit up and seal off
Gloves, eye protection, respirators and disposable suits go on before the crew crosses the boundary. Doors and vents in the work area are managed.

Downtown Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
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 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 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.
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.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
What is considered a biological hazard?
A biological hazard is any living organism or material from one that can harm health. Examples are bacteria, viruses, mold, blood, bodily fluids, sewage and animal waste. Chemicals and radiation are a different type of hazard.
