Few homes in Louisville sit empty, so decontamination calls tend to come from occupied homes after a spill, an illness or a backup. Older housing is common in Louisville, around 61% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
A typical biohazard decontamination job includes:
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters

What Butchertown Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
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.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
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.
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 are the biological hazards in a home?
Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.
