Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Lithonia Means and Includes
Biohazard cleanup safely removes and disinfects blood, tissue, bodily fluids and hazardous materials, then disposes of them following crime, death, accidents, hoarding or a sewage backup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Atlanta 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.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Greater Atlanta, Step by Step
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
Explain 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
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
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
Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
