Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Dekalb
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. 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.

Health and safety
Chicagoland Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Is Done in Chicagoland
The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You start by describing the situation. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
