Older housing is common in Hamilton County, around 48% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection. Because vacancy is lower in Hamilton County, at about 8% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house.
The work often covers:
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied

4. Treat, deodorize and hand off

What Fairmount Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
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.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
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.
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.
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
