Biohazard restoration cleanup is the work of returning a contaminated property to a safe, usable condition. It combines cleanup, decontamination, odor control and the removal of materials that germs have soaked into.

Renters make up about 38% of households in Metairie, so landlords often order decontamination between tenants. Older housing is common in Metairie, around 69% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
What biohazard decontamination covers:
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
- A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated

What Metairie Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
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 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.
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.
