Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Albany 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.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Albany Homes and Businesses
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
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.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.

How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Greater Albany, Step by Step
From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
Say what happened. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.
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.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
