  • What is the protocol if a squad car is contaminated with HIV or other bloodborne pathogens?

  • Is mold testing necessary before buying a home?

    Yes it helps uncover hidden mold issues that could affect property value and health.

  • What is the best way to get rid of a decomposition smell for biological decay?

    The best way to get rid of a decomposition smell from biological decay is to employ a comprehensive, multi-phase approach that systematically addresses the source, cleans and disinfects contaminated surfaces, and neutralizes residual odors. 1. Source Identification and Removal: This is the absolute first and most critical step. You must find and safely remove all decaying biological material (e.g., animal carcass, bodily fluids, neglected food). This often involves inspecting hidden areas like wall cavities, attics, crawl spaces, or behind appliances. 2. Containment and Ventilation: Before and during cleanup, contain the affected area to prevent cross-contamination to other parts of the property. Open windows and use industrial-grade fans to ventilate the space thoroughly. 3. Removal of Contaminated Porous Materials: Any porous materials that have absorbed the biological fluids or odors must be removed. This typically includes carpet, carpet padding, certain types of flooring, subflooring, drywall, insulation, and furniture. These materials act as odor reservoirs and will continuously release the smell if not removed. 4. Deep Cleaning and Disinfection: All remaining non-porous surfaces must be meticulously cleaned and disinfected. Use an enzymatic cleaner first, which contains beneficial bacteria that break down the organic molecules causing the odor. Follow with a hospital-grade broad-spectrum disinfectant to kill any remaining bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. Multiple cleaning passes may be necessary. 5. Odor Neutralization (Atmospheric Treatment): This is where specialized equipment comes in. Ozone generators are highly effective in unoccupied spaces, as ozone oxidizes and destroys odor molecules. Hydroxyl generators are a safer alternative for spaces where people or pets may be present, as they produce hydroxyl radicals that neutralize odors. These machines need to run for an extended duration, often days, to be effective. 6. Sealing (Encapsulation): For surfaces that may have absorbed odors deeply but cannot be removed (e.g., concrete subfloor, structural wood), applying an odor-blocking primer or sealant creates a barrier, preventing the further off-gassing of decomposition odors. 7. Air Purification: Using air scrubbers with HEPA and activated carbon filters can help remove any remaining airborne odor molecules and improve overall air quality. Due to the biohazard risks and the complexity of these odors, professional biohazard cleanup and odor remediation services are highly recommended for effective and safe biological odor control and decomposition odor abatement.
