Biohazard Cleanup

Trusted Professionals for Biohazard Cleanups

Biohazards are blood, tissue, and body fluids that may contain harmful pathogens. Crime, accident, hoarding, and unattended death scenes require careful cleanup and sanitization and the legal and safe disposal of contaminated materials.

Effective biohazard cleanup requires experience, the right equipment, cleaning compounds, and a field-tested action plan customized to each situation. Well-meaning loved ones and property owners quickly learn that cleaning up blood, human tissue, decomposition, and other organic waste can become psychologically and physically overwhelming.

Who Cleans Up Blood and Body Fluid Biohazards?

Property owners and site administrators are ultimately responsible for cleaning up biohazardous material, but they don’t have to take on the job themselves. That’s when they call in privately-operated companies dedicated to disaster restoration, specifically those who are experts in cleaning up blood spills and decomposition. BioHazmat Solutions is the most trusted and experienced biohazard cleaning company, with teams across the United States ready to respond 24/7.

Our Expertise

Sometimes, we’re referred to as “crime scene cleaners, “and we do step in to remediate the aftermath of violent crimes, but it’s more accurate to call those of us in the industry biohazard cleaning or trauma restoration companies.

Our certified and empathetic BioHazmat Solutions teams are experienced in addressing accident and death cleanup scenarios that would further traumatize the average person, especially if they’ve suffered the loss of a family member or co-worker to suicide, a workplace injury, or unattended death. We also clean up residences, medical facilities, and other premises that have become contaminated by disease outbreaks or exposure to dangerous pathogens.

The Biohazard Cleanup Process

As soon as possible, any time of the day or night, call us to request a quote. Our customer care staff will walk you through the quote process, and, in most cases, will work directly with your insurance company to approve your claim.

Our teams respond within hours if not minutes.

The sooner we can address your biohazard crisis, the better. Once on-scene, Bio Recovery technicians inspect the site and create a custom cleanup action plan based on EPA, CDC, and OSHA guidelines and our comprehensive checklist.

If our customer service staff hasn’t already done so, they’ll order roll-off trash containers (also called dumpsters) to contain any non-contaminated yet destroyed materials.
We follow strict safety protocols.

Our team will divide the property into zones so that clean areas aren’t contaminated during the project. Each technician will put on protective clothing, footwear, masks, and gloves for their safety and change them as needed so as not to spread harmful pathogens. These steps are often overlooked during “do-it-yourself” cleaning attempts.
We remove obvious surface contamination.

Upon arriving at a death or trauma scene, it’s clear which areas need attention first. We use special absorbent compounds to quickly soak up pooled fluids. Sometimes, human tissue is left behind, which we safely contain. (It’s possible to arrange delivery to funeral services or law enforcement as requested.) We also remove insects and use first aid supplies.
We salvage what we can without compromising safety.

Saturated sections of carpet and upholstery are cut out and disposed of. We often have to cut through subflooring, tile, ceilings, and subflooring to access areas where biohazardous fluids have soaked in.
We use safe, effective odor-neutralizing and disinfecting solutions.

Once our biohazard cleaning teams have removed all obvious signs of contamination, they wipe down and sanitize all surfaces in the area. Whenever appropriate, we use enzyme-based cleaning solutions approved by the CDC.

These destroy pathogens as well as odor-causing bacteria without leaving behind telltale odors. Overuse of chlorine-based cleaners leaves toxins and telltale odors in the environment. It also breeds chlorine-resistant viruses and bacteria.

Bleach is corrosive and can cause further physical damage to surfaces and structural materials. We reserve chlorine-based products for sites known to have been exposed to major infectious diseases.
We dispose of all contaminated waste.

Contaminated material must be specially bagged and labeled as biohazardous waste. Uncontaminated material is disposed of in dumpsters or contractor-grade garbage bags, which our teams will later carry away. Whenever it’s cost-effective for our clients without compromising safety, we separate materials to reduce unnecessary disposal costs.
You give your final approval.

Once our job is complete, you’re invited to join us for a final inspection. We’re happy to answer any questions about how we’ve made your home safe and sanitary.

At this time, if we’ve removed drywall, flooring, or other construction materials, you may want to bring in contractors with experience in emergency restoration. Feel free to ask us for recommendations.
