Does biohazard cleanup cover sewage backups?

What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
