Biological Cleanup and Disinfection for Franklin Square, Baltimore, MD
Biohazard remediation, sometimes called biological remediation or biological cleanup, is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is its finishing stage, where cleaned surfaces are disinfected and checked.

Vacant homes, about 13% of those in Baltimore, are often decontaminated before a sale or a new tenant moves in. Older housing is common in Baltimore, around 82% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
The work often covers:
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling

What Franklin Square Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
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.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
Does insurance cover decontamination?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
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.
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.
