It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
E. coli, hepatitis A and salmonella may be present in raw sewage, while damp materials may develop mold within 24 to 48 hours.
HIV and hepatitis B and C may remain in blood. The CDC reports that surfaces can hold infectious hepatitis B for at least seven days.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
