Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
The price depends on the size of the area, the type of contamination, the materials affected, odor work and waste hauling. A quote is possible once the crew knows the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal of contaminated material and the disinfection of the affected area. Crews wear PPE, remove what cannot be cleaned and haul waste by the rules. The goal is a space that no longer poses a health risk.
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
