Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers
After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

First steps
Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 60491: What to Do
Most people only face this once. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 351-0904- Contact 911 for any injury or death. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
- Keep away from the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Avoid stepping in fluids or blood.
- Do not attempt your own cleanup. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
- Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, confirm coverage for biohazard cleanup and record your claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

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.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
E. coli, hepatitis A and salmonella may be present in raw sewage, while damp materials may develop mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC reports that surfaces can hold infectious hepatitis B 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.
