Biohazard Cleanup Contractors

Biohazard cleanup, also called trauma scene cleanup or crime scene cleanup, is the specialized service of safely removing, cleaning, and disinfecting biological and hazardous materials from properties following traumatic events, unattended deaths, crime scenes, infectious disease outbreaks, hoarding situations, or animal infestations. This work involves exposure to blood, bodily fluids, human remains, infectious pathogens, and other hazardous materials that pose serious health risks if not handled properly.

Professional biohazard cleanup technicians are trained in bloodborne pathogen safety (OSHA regulations), infectious disease protocols, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe handling and disposal of biohazardous waste. The cleanup process includes assessment and documentation, removal of contaminated porous materials (carpet, drywall, upholstery) that cannot be safely disinfected, cleaning and disinfection of all affected surfaces using EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants, deodorization, proper packaging and disposal of biohazardous waste following state and federal regulations, and verification that the property is safe for occupancy.

Biohazard cleanup is not a service homeowners should attempt themselves. Blood and bodily fluids can carry HIV, hepatitis B and C, MRSA, C. diff, and other serious pathogens. Improper cleanup leaves infectious materials behind, creates cross-contamination, and exposes anyone who enters the property to health risks. Licensed biohazard cleanup companies have the training, equipment, and waste disposal protocols required to restore a property to safe, habitable condition while treating the scene with compassion and discretion during an extremely difficult time.
