Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Joliet, Step by Step
The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
Say what happened. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.
Containment of the Affected Area
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
When infectious materials enter porous items such as drywall, carpet or pad, those items are cut away and contained as medical waste, with nothing left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Your own contractor or a vendor working with your insurer can replace any removed drywall or flooring.
