Decontamination Specialists for University Homes, Rentals and Workplaces
Biohazard decontamination is the process of making a contaminated space safe again by removing visible material, cleaning every surface and applying a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. It is also called biohazard remediation.
If you need biohazard decontamination at your home, rental, office, shop or vehicle in University or across Shelby County, call University Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works in PPE and explains each step as it goes.
Rentals are common in Memphis, at about 55% of households, and the lease decides who pays when a unit needs decontamination. Older housing is common in Memphis, around 67% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.
The work often covers:
- Documentation and photos that landlords, insurers and safety staff often request
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- Vehicle interior decontamination for cars, vans and work trucks after a medical event
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area

4. Treat air and finish up

Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for University and Shelby County
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.
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.
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.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
How do I choose among biohazard remediation companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
Does insurance cover decontamination?
Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.
