Biohazard Problems You Can Get Cleaned Up in City of Baltimore, Maryland

Businesses, churches and public spaces

Offices, shops, churches and other public spaces may need cleanup after an injury, illness outbreak or break-in. The work is planned around staff, customers and reopening dates.

Vacant houses and break-ins

With a vacancy rate of 13% in Baltimore, empty buildings can collect animal waste, drug paraphernalia and storm damage that nobody sees until later.

Unattended death and decomposition

When a death goes unnoticed for days, decomposition fluids reach flooring and subfloor and the odor spreads. Death cleanup removes the affected materials and treats the odor at the source.

Older adults living alone

About 42% is the census figure for older adults living alone in Baltimore. When a person dies alone, days may pass before anyone knows, and unattended death cleanup follows.

Sewage backups and human waste

Failing septic systems and sewer backups push raw sewage, a Category 3 biohazard, into homes. Sewage cleanup removes contaminated materials and disinfects every surface.

Vehicles with blood or fluids

Cars, trucks and work vehicles can carry biohazards after an accident, assault or medical event. Vehicle cleanup removes contaminated upholstery and disinfects every surface and vent.

Biohazard Types, Health Risks and Job Sizes Explained

To size a cleanup, technicians check what was contaminated, how deep it went and how many rooms it reached. Those findings, together with the type of biohazard, set the plan.

Types of biohazards and their health risks

  • Blood and bodily fluids. Can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, even after drying.
  • Decomposition. Fluids soak into flooring and subfloor, attract insects and leave a strong death odor.
  • Sharps and medical waste. Needles and soiled materials that must leave as regulated medical waste.
  • Sewage, animal waste and drug residue. Bacteria such as E. coli, hantavirus from rodent droppings, and meth or fentanyl residue.

Job sizes

  • Small: One spot or one surface, such as a blood spill, often done in a few hours.
  • Medium: One room, with carpet, padding or drywall removed.
  • Large: Several rooms, or fluids that reached the subfloor or HVAC.
  • Whole property: Hoarder houses, meth labs or full building decontamination.

What to Do Right After a Biohazard Event in Cross Country, Baltimore, MD

  1. If police or first responders are involved, wait until law enforcement releases the scene before anyone goes in.
  2. Call the homeowners or renters insurance company and write down the claim number.
  3. Plan access for the cleanup crew: a key, a lockbox or a property manager.
  4. Do not use a shop vacuum, mop or bleach on blood or bodily fluids, since that can spread the contamination.
  5. Take photos of the damage only if it is safe and allowed, and keep a copy of any police report number.
  6. Tell the cleanup specialist about pets, valuables, documents and keepsakes so they can be protected.
