Because vacancy is lower in Austin, at about 7% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house. Older housing is common in Austin, around 75% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
The work often covers:
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Vehicle interior decontamination for cars, vans and work trucks after a medical event
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied

What Austin Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
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.
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
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.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
