Vacant homes, about 13% of those in Baltimore, are often decontaminated before a sale or a new tenant moves in. Older housing is common in Baltimore, around 82% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
A typical biohazard decontamination job includes:
- 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
- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste

What Westgate Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
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.
Does insurance cover decontamination?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
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.
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.
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 if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
