Roma 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.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled as regulated medical waste, not put in household trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask the team how its waste is handled.
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.
Who pays for decontamination in Texas?
The property owner usually pays on their own property, often the owner, family or estate. In a rental, the lease and local law decide. If a violent crime was involved, the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016, with insurance used first. Questions go to (800) 983-9933.
How do I know the decontamination worked?
A good team inspects every treated surface, treats leftover odors and explains what it did. Some teams add swab tests. Ask what the final check includes and ask for a record of the work. Testing rules vary by place.
