What is biohazard decontamination?

How much does biohazard decontamination cost?

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.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
