Biohazards That Affect Homes and Businesses in Ashtabula County

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.

Older homes and absorbed fluids

About 78% of homes in Jefferson were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and trim hold fluids deeper, which can mean more material to remove.

Heat and decomposition

An average July high of 81 degrees in Jefferson speeds up decomposition after a death. The sooner the scene is released and cleaned, the less the odor and fluids spread.

Accidents and injuries at home or work

Falls, power tool injuries, farm and industrial accidents and car crashes can leave blood and tissue behind. Accident scene cleanup removes the trace so the space can be used again.

Suicide cleanup

Families should never have to clean up after a suicide. Discreet suicide cleanup removes all traces with care and respect. Crisis support is available any time at 988.

Hoarding and squalor

Hoarder homes can hide rotting food, animal waste, mold and pests, along with fire and structural hazards. Hoarding cleanup sorts belongings and restores a livable condition.

Understanding Biohazards: Types, Risks and Cleanup Size

A biohazard is anything of biological origin that can make people sick. The type of material and the size of the affected area guide how the crew plans the work and how long the cleanup takes.

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.

Safety Steps to Take While Waiting for Biohazard Cleanup

  1. Plan access for the cleanup crew: a key, a lockbox or a property manager.
  2. If someone is in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and stay with the person until help arrives.
  3. In any emergency, 911 comes first. Cleanup can wait until everyone is safe and the scene is released.
  4. Write down what happened, the date and who has been contacted so the insurance claim goes smoothly.
  5. Tell the cleanup specialist about pets, valuables, documents and keepsakes so they can be protected.
  6. Do not carry soaked items through the home or put them in the regular trash. Leave them for the crew.

Biohazard Cleaning FAQs for Jefferson Homes and Businesses

What is biohazard cleaning?

Biohazard cleaning is the safe removal of infectious or contaminated material and the disinfection of whatever it touched. Crews wear protective equipment, remove porous materials that cannot be made safe, and dispose of the waste under medical waste rules. It goes far beyond ordinary housecleaning.

What should I do first after a death or crime at home?

Call 911 if anyone is in danger. Keep everyone out of the affected area, do not clean anything, and wait for law enforcement to release the scene. Then call your insurance company and a biohazard cleaning company to plan the cleanup.

What should I tell the cleanup company when I call?

Describe what happened, where it is, how big the area is and whether police have released the scene. Mention any insurance claim, pets, valuables or access issues. The more detail you share, the clearer the plan and cost range can be.

How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?

A cleanout of belongings can take from a day to several weeks depending on how much is in the home. If a death left biohazards, the biohazard cleanup comes first, and sorting or hauling follows once the area is safe.

How long can someone be sick after exposure to raw sewage?

Symptoms such as stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea can begin within a few hours to a few days after contact with raw sewage, depending on the germ. Sewage is a Category 3 biohazard, so it should be cleaned by a crew wearing protective gear, and anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.

Is dried blood still a biohazard?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens. The CDC notes hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days, and scraping dried blood releases particles. It should be handled with PPE and disinfected.

Is biohazard cleanup available in a small town like Jefferson?

Yes. Jefferson has about 3,522 residents, and the same biohazard cleanup services are available in Jefferson and across Ashtabula County. Call (877) 812-4220 to talk through the job.

Can an empty house in Ashtabula County need biohazard cleanup?

Yes. Vacant properties, at 16% of housing in Ashtabula County, can collect animal waste, drug paraphernalia, sewage and storm damage. Owners should treat what they find as a hazard and call for cleanup instead of clearing it themselves.
