Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: Meaning and Coverage

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.

Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Professional biohazard cleanup goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Chicagoland Homes and Businesses

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. The CDC reports that surfaces can hold infectious hepatitis B for at least seven days.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Chicagoland

From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Say what happened. The scene is inspected and photographed by technicians before you approve the scope.

  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

    Infectious materials absorbed by carpet, padding, drywall or other porous items require those materials to be cut out, placed in sealed medical waste containers and removed so nothing is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
