Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
