Regulations
Biohazardous and medical waste are regulated primarily at the state level in Iowa, and workplace cleanup is subject to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Cleanup should use trained technicians and compliant disposal.
Floodwater and sewage contamination
Flooding in Iowa often pushes sewage into basements and lower floors. Sewage is Category 3 water, so affected porous materials are removed and the area is disinfected.
Sewer backups in basements
Basements common in Iowa are where sewer backups usually surface, through floor drains and lower-level toilets. A backwater valve can help prevent repeat backups.
