Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers

The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.

You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. 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.

Health and safety

Understanding Serious Health Risks Across Chicagoland Properties

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

Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work

Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Salmonella, E. coli and hepatitis A are risks in raw sewage, and moisture may lead to mold on materials within 24 to 48 hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

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

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

    Describe what occurred. 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

    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

    A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

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