Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Havre De Grace Means and Includes
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
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.

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.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
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.

Biohazard Waste Disposal

Final Inspection and ATP Testing
