Older housing is common in Portland, around 63% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection. Because vacancy is lower in Portland, at about 6% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house.
The work often covers:
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied
- A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Southwest Hills, Portland, OR
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
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.
How much does biohazard decontamination cost?
The price depends on the size of the area, the materials, the type of contamination, waste, odor treatment and travel. The team can give a figure after it sees the site or hears the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
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.
