Biohazard Cleanup in Columbia: What It Is and What It Covers

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 goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

First steps

What to Do Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 21046

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. 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. Do not enter the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
  3. Do not try to clean it yourself. Household cleaners spread contamination and set stains into floors and walls.
  4. Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Baltimore Homes and Businesses

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.

Bloodborne Pathogens

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

Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards

Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

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

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.

Step by step

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Greater Baltimore, Step by Step

From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Explain the situation. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.

  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

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

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
