Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Chicagoland Homes and Businesses
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Chicagoland, Step by Step
Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You start by describing the situation. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.
Containment of the Affected Area
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.
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
Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Your own contractor or a vendor working with your insurer can replace any removed drywall or flooring.
