Rentals are common in Milwaukee, at about 58% of households, and the lease decides who pays when a unit needs decontamination. Older housing is common in Milwaukee, around 84% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
The work often covers:
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area

What Merrill Park Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
What are the biological hazards in a home?
Common ones include blood, vomit, feces, sewage, mold, pest droppings and dead animals. Illness spread by sick residents can also leave germs on surfaces. Some of these need professional biohazard specialists.
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.
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
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.
Do OSHA rules apply to biohazard decontamination?
Workers who may contact blood or infectious material are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE and handling. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
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.
