Because vacancy is lower in Portland, at about 6% of homes, contamination is usually found quickly and treated while people still live in the house. About 63% of homes in Portland were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes.
The work often covers:
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Disinfection of touch points such as door handles, switches, rails and counters
- Documentation and photos that landlords, insurers and safety staff often request
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Odor removal and air treatment once the source of the smell is gone
