Older housing is common in Burlington, around 70% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection. Most Kit Carson County homes are owner-occupied, so the owner usually sets up decontamination and files the insurance claim.
The work often covers:
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Decontamination of rooms touched by blood, bodily fluids, sewage or animal waste
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
- Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused

What Burlington Property Owners Ask About Decontamination
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
