Health and safety

Biohazards in Glenham-Belhar 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.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

First steps

What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Glenham-Belhar

Few people encounter this more than once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Keep away from the affected area. Keep pets and children away after closing the door. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Do not try to clean it yourself. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
  4. Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.
Step by step

How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Glenham-Belhar, Step by Step

The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Describe what occurred. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
