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 goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

First steps

Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 40242: What to Do

For most people, this happens only once. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Contact 911 for any injury or death. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.

Insurance and who pays

Does Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in 40242? Who Pays?

Kentucky Crime Victim Compensation

Victims of violent crime can ask the Kentucky Crime Victims Compensation Board about cleanup. State law lists crime scene cleanup at the victim's home or business, with a short time limit, so ask early. Insurance is usually checked first.

Jefferson County Landlords and Rental Property Owners

Estate of the Deceased and Next of Kin

The estate can often cover death cleanup expenses. The responsibility usually falls to a family member or executor.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Louisville 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

HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and 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.

Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Greater Louisville

The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Share what happened. 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

    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.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.

  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.
