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.

It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

First steps

What to Do Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 60163

Most people only face this once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.

Call (888) 351-0904
  1. If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
  2. Do not enter the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Avoid stepping in fluids or blood.

  4. Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

Health and safety

Understanding Serious Health Risks Across Chicagoland Properties

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Blood may contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Step by step

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Chicagoland, Step by Step

Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.

  1. 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.

  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

    After infectious materials soak into pad, carpet, drywall or other porous items, technicians remove every affected part. Sealed medical waste disposal makes sure 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

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. 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.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
