Biohazard Remediation Company Serving Russell and Jefferson County
A decontamination service treats surfaces, furniture, fabrics and air so that bloodborne pathogens and other germs no longer pose a risk. It is a more thorough process than household cleaning and uses stronger, specialized products.

About 61% of homes in Louisville were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes. Few homes in Louisville sit empty, so decontamination calls tend to come from occupied homes after a spill, an illness or a backup.
The work often covers:
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- 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
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Russell, Louisville, KY
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.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
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.
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.
What is biohazard remediation?
Biohazard remediation is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is the last stage, where surfaces are disinfected and checked. Many companies use the two terms for the same job.
How do I know the decontamination worked?
