If, at any point, a vehicle becomes contaminated by biohazard material, it should be decontaminated by professionals. Failure to do so can result in the spread of viruses and disease.
Usually, most cars will not need this type of clean-up service, but some specialized emergency vehicles routinely encounter biological agents that can pose a serious threat to health. Below is a list of some of the vehicles we typically encounter as an emergency vehicle decontamination company in Georgia
Law enforcement vehicles tend to encounter all manner of situations and individuals. Such individuals can often be of a violent disposition and when physical conflict takes place, blood and other bodily fluids will sometimes find their way to the scene. All you need is a small sample for a pathogen or a virus in someone’s blood to infect other people.
Not all traces of biomaterial are going to jump out at you as a puddle of blood. All it takes is someone to get a scrape from tugging at their handcuffs to leave dangerous material behind that can potentially harm many other people. Law enforcement agents already risk their lives enough, which is why we make it our job is to eliminate the risk posed by contamination in their vehicles.
Fire trucks are not only used to fight fires. Firefighters are also called to the scene of an accident as first responders.
When encountering people who have just been in a car crash where blood and other bodily fluids are contaminating the scene, firefighters are likely to meet these fluids and, as such, contaminate their vehicles as well. They may decide to use the firetruck as an ambulance, further contaminating the vehicle.
When such a scenario occurs, a simple spray and a wipedown is not enough. Emergency vehicle decontamination in Georgia will be required to ensure the vehicle is once again safe to use.
As everyone knows, paramedics are usually the first people they call into an accident. Whenever there is a victim of a violent crime, and an ill person cannot make it to the hospital by themselves, they call the paramedics. It follows that the vehicle they use is constantly under threat from all manner of biological agents including body fluids and human tissue that has been exposed to the elements.
A contaminated vehicle is a dangerous vehicle. You’ll have potentially lethal pathogens or viruses like COVID-19 coming into the vehicle while people with weakened health are being transported in that space.
If the vehicle operators do not properly disinfect and decontaminate the ambulance to rid it of any biohazards, they will end up doing more harm than good. Thankfully, there are expert services that offer emergency vehicle decontamination in Georgia.
Decontaminating vehicles is not a do-it-yourself project. The right protective gear must be employed while the appropriate chemicals and procedures must be observed to safely and successfully decontaminate a vehicle.

Mold can be a very dangerous agent affecting homes or places of business. Mold can come in many ways; whether from poor ventilation to humidity or sub-par air conditioning units to condensation caused by changes in temperature. Whatever the cause may be, there are a wide variety of reasons that could’ve caused the mold to occur.
But no matter the cause, it’s important you recognize these common signs indicating you have mold:
One of the common problems arising from fungus or mold is that it can grow in the least expected places. It can develop behind wallpaper or even in your air conditioning vents.
If you have mold growing inside the walls, for example, you may be unaware of its existence until you start to perceive a musky spell in the house. If mold is growing where you cannot spot it, it may be finding its way into the vents and being distributed throughout the entire structure, where you unknowingly breathe it into your lungs.
Of course, the most obvious sign is getting visual confirmation. If you see mold growing on the ceiling or the walls it usually means there is more growing where you cannot see it. By this time, you should definitely call mold remediation Savannah professionals.
A common result of living with a mold infestation can include breathing problems, skin irritation, and even severe allergic reactions.
Mold is known to cause:
Mold can come in many different forms and is usually made up of different fungi types that can cause airborne gasses, chemicals, bacteria, and other organic compounds. There are hundreds of thousands of varieties that can live on just about any surface.
Usually, when you can smell musty damp in the air, it means you have an infestation on your hands. They reproduce through the air and can be very stubborn and difficult to eradicate without professional help. If you experience any of these problems and suspect that mold could be the culprit, call for help.
