Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago Means and Includes
After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Chicagoland Businesses and Homes
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
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. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

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

Containment of the Affected Area
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.

Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
