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

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
Emergency service calls are answered day and night, and crews arrive in unmarked vehicles so neighbors and building staff do not know what happened.

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.
Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.
