Biohazard work is not cleaning. Blood and other potentially infectious material is handled under the OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard, which sets what protective equipment the crew wears, how the area is isolated, how waste is contained and where it is allowed to go. It is also the one job we do where the property is almost never the hardest part — there is usually a family, a landlord or a business owner standing on the other side of it. We show up in unmarked vehicles, we do not discuss the address, and we work around the people involved rather than through them.
Brevard is a long thin county with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian River Lagoon down the middle, and the damage follows that geography. Out on the barrier island — Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach — the usual problem is wind-driven rain finding a way in around window and door assemblies, on buildings where salt air has been working on flashing and fasteners for thirty years. On the mainland, from Palm Bay up through Rockledge, Cocoa and Titusville, it is block houses on slabs where a failed supply line spreads flat across the floor with nowhere to drain. And unlike most of the state, the worst of it is not always a hurricane — a November nor’easter that pushes onshore for three days puts more water through a beachside roof than a fast summer storm ever does.
