Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers
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.
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.

Call (888) 440-9227- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.

- Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Chicagoland Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
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.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
