Biohazard cleaning explained

What Exum Biohazard Cleanup Means and Includes

Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.

You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

Biohazard removal services in Exum and the surrounding areas cover crime scenes, traumatic events, hoarding, sewage and hazardous waste. Crime scene cleaners do the specialized cleaning that safe scene cleaning requires, from blood and fentanyl cleanup to odor control, with emergency response available day or night. The goal is respectful, compassionate service that helps restore safety to the home.

Health and safety

Biohazards in Exum Homes and Their Serious Health Risks

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.

Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work

Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

First steps

What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Exum

This is a one-time experience for most people. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
  2. Stay out of the affected area. Keep pets and children away after closing the door. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Do not try to clean it yourself. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
  4. Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.
Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Exum

The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Describe what occurred. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
