Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Blood may contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
You and your family receive care during a difficult time, without judgment about neglect or hoarding. Items important to you, including photos and documents, are set apart.
Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
The process, every step of cleanup and all price factors are explained to you before anything gets removed. You face neither pressure nor surprises.
Emergency service calls are answered day and night, and crews arrive in unmarked vehicles so neighbors and building staff do not know what happened.
The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.
Explain the situation. The scene is inspected and photographed by technicians before you approve the scope.
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.
Infectious materials absorbed by carpet, padding, drywall or other porous items require those materials to be cut out, placed in sealed medical waste containers and removed so nothing is left behind.
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Tracking records accompany contained waste to an authorized medical waste treatment facility.
The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.
Your own contractor or a vendor working with your insurer can replace any removed drywall or flooring.
Unmarked vehicles help crews stay discreet, and they keep noise within what the building permits. The property manager might need to give access to areas shared by residents.
Owners frequently make the cleanup arrangements for units and common areas. Your insurer can tell you which costs your policy may cover.
The initial reference is published cost ranges for the nation. The cleanup company sets the price after assessing the affected rooms, materials and disposal needs.
