Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Birmingham: What It Is and What It Covers
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.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. 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.

First steps

For most people, this happens only once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.

- Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Describe what happened and which rooms are affected so the cleanup team can plan.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Birmingham Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
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
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.

Describe what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.
Removal of Contaminated Materials

Biohazard Waste Disposal
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing

Repairs and Back to Normal
