Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup in Near West Side and What It Covers

Health and safety
Biohazards in Near West Side Homes and Their Serious Health Risks
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

First steps
First Steps Before You Call Biohazard Cleaners in Near West Side
Few people encounter this more than once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
- Keep away from the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
- Do not attempt your own cleanup. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
- Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Describe what happened and which rooms are affected so the cleanup team can plan.

Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
