- Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in East Village, Detroit, MI
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
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.
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.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
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 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.
