When a Property Isn’t Safe to Live In: The Importance of Professional Decontamination
Not all property damage is visible. Some of the most dangerous hazards are the ones you cannot see — chemical residues, biological contaminants, and harmful toxins that remain long after an incident has occurred.
At Dunrite Decon, we specialise in restoring properties that have been exposed to contamination, helping owners, tenants, and property managers make spaces safe, liveable, and legally compliant again.
Whether it’s a drug-affected property, sewage overflow, mould, trauma, or biohazard situation, professional decontamination is not optional — it is essential.
What Is Decontamination?
Decontamination is the process of removing harmful substances from a property so it is safe for human occupancy.
This can include:
Drug and chemical residues
Biological hazards such as blood, bodily fluids, and bacteria
Sewage contamination
Mould and airborne spores
Smoke, fire, and odour contamination
These substances are not removed with normal cleaning. They soak into walls, flooring, air systems, furniture, and building materials, where they continue to pose health risks long after the visible mess is gone.
The Real Risks of Contaminated Properties
Exposure to contamination can lead to serious health issues, including:
Respiratory problems
Skin and eye irritation
Headaches, nausea, and fatigue
Long-term organ damage
Increased risk for children and vulnerable people
In drug-affected properties, invisible residues can remain on surfaces and in the air, even after a home appears clean. These residues can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled, making them especially dangerous for families and tenants.
For landlords and property managers, there is also a legal responsibility to ensure a property is safe for occupancy.
Why Professional Decontamination Is Critical
DIY cleaning and standard cleaners are not designed to neutralise or remove toxic substances. In many cases, attempting to clean a contaminated property without the correct equipment can spread contamination further.
Dunrite Decon uses:
Certified decontamination procedures
Professional-grade cleaning and extraction equipment
Personal protective equipment
Testing and verification processes
Industry-approved chemical treatments
This ensures that contamination is removed safely, not just masked.
