First steps
What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Vernon Hills
For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 351-0904- Phone 911 when someone is injured or dead. The medical examiner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
- Keep away from the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
- Do not try to clean it yourself. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
- Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
Describe what occurred. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.
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
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
