Because vacancy is lower in Louisville, at about 8% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house. About 61% of homes in Louisville were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes.
The work often covers:
- 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
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Park Duvalle, Louisville, KY
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
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.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
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.
