Health and safety

Mid-North District Home Biohazards and Serious Health Risks

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

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

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

First steps

What You Should Do Before Contacting Mid-North District Biohazard Cleaners

For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
  2. 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.
  3. Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
  4. Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.
Step by step

From Start to Finish, Biohazard Cleanup in Mid-North District

The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    You start by describing the situation. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

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

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  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

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