Biohazard cleaning explained

What Biohazard Cleanup in Louisville Means and Includes

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.

You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. 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.

First steps

Steps to Take Before Biohazard Cleaning Services Begin in 40216

For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. The medical examiner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.

  4. Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Louisville Businesses and Homes

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.

Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards

Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Greater Louisville

Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Describe what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.

  8. 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.
