Homes in Detroit have a median build year of 1947, older than most homes across Michigan. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal. The vacancy rate in Detroit is 22%, above the Michigan average. Empty houses can sit unchecked, so sewage, animal waste, rodents and damage can build up unseen.
Decontamination starts with protecting people. Crews suit up in PPE, set up barriers so contaminants cannot drift into clean rooms, and work to OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols (29 CFR 1910.1030) from the first step to the last.
Products matter because a mild cleaner will not kill bloodborne germs. Biohazard cleaners use EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants, follow the label for contact time and pair them with air treatment for lingering odor.
