First steps
What You Should Do Before Contacting University Place Biohazard Cleaners
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- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
- Stay out of the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Avoid stepping in fluids or blood.
- Do not try to clean it yourself. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
- 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.
Step by step
Step-by-Step Biohazard Cleanup in University Place
The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You explain what happened. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other 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
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
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.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
