Biological and infectious hazard cleanup is an extremely skilled process that requires specialized equipment and disposal methods to eliminate the threat of further contamination. Whether you are dealing with infectious diseases from bodily fluids or toxic airborne particles like mold—it is vital the contaminants are removed thoroughly to protect your employees and guests from potentially life threatening illnesses.

Instances that Require Biological Cleanup

There are a number of instances that require professional biological cleanup and decontamination, including:

• Sewage Backup – if you’ve had sewage back up into your building, you’ll need more than a simple water extraction. Sewage can carry a number of harmful pathogens and the correct equipment and cleaning techniques must be used to ensure that they are properly removed.
• Bodily Fluids – bodily fluids can carry a number of infectious diseases. If you’ve had an incident at your facility where blood or other bodily fluids were spilled, best practice is to have it professionally decontaminated just to ensure there is no spread of disease.
• Health Crisis – in the event that there is a health crisis, hospitals and health clinics may need specialized cleaning that goes beyond normal cleaning protocol—i.e. the Ebola outbreak.
• Flooding – flooding rains carry a number of harmful pathogens as they pick up human, animal, industrial, and even medical waste. If your home or business has experienced flooding from a natural disaster, you may require decontamination in addition to standard water extraction and restoration.
