First steps

What You Should Do Before Contacting Auburn Gresham Biohazard Cleaners

Few people encounter this more than once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
  2. Remain outside the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Leave the cleanup to professionals. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
  4. Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.
Step by step

How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Auburn Gresham, Step by Step

The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    You start by describing 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

    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.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.

  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

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

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