The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
