Homes in San Francisco have a median build year of 1946, older than most homes across California. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal. Renters live in about 62% of homes in San Francisco, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers.
Safety comes first on every job. You get crews that follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols, wear full protective equipment and seal off the contaminated space, since hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are all risks around untreated blood.
Odor is treated at its source, not covered up. HEPA filtration, hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment work on the air and on the surfaces, and ATP testing can show whether the cleaned area meets the standard before the property is released.
