InDependent Restorers

A biohazard needs no introduction and can be categorized among remediation due to its contamination properties. Biohazard is not just limited to the skull and cross bones we see on poison containers but it can also be associated with a sewage back flow regardless of the volume.
 
Sewage is defined as black or unclean water. It most likely contains bacteria and or viruses found within drains containing collections of urine and feces.
 
Bacteria and viruses are not visible to the naked eye but feces is. We can assume one chunk of stool contains e-coli considering that we all have it in our gut. One droplet of blood in a stool could contain hepatitis from an affected individual. Just because we cant see it doesn't make it less dangerous. The rule is, if we don't know for certain...assume there is.
 
We have a picture before the feces clean up. The client requested a biohazard clean up before they sent in their janitorial cleaners. We also have a picture after the cleanup.
 
Airborne mold spores can also be a biohazard. More so to some than others. The picture attached is from a mold job that started as a very slow leak at a kitchen island. The mold was not visible upon arrival but the mildew odor was a dead give away.
 
Everything about a rodent is gross and can also be a hazardous to our health. Sometimes attics can be infested with bird droppings. Pigeons feces for example is known to be particularly dangerous if dried particulates become airborne and we ingest it.
