About 62% of homes in Centralia were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes. Because vacancy is lower in Boone County, at about 6% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house.
The work often covers:
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling
- A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused

What Centralia Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
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 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.
How do I know the decontamination worked?
A good team inspects every treated surface, treats leftover odors and explains what it did. Some teams add swab tests. Ask what the final check includes and ask for a record of the work. Testing rules vary by place.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
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.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
