Renters live in about 64% of homes in Los Angeles, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. Homes in Los Angeles have a median build year of 1965, older than most homes across California. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal.
Professional biohazard cleanup, remediation and decontamination services follow the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). Technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, gloves and disposable suits, and treat all blood and bodily fluids as potentially infectious materials that can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
