Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Seattle: Meaning and Coverage
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.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. 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 98101: What to Do
For most people, this happens only once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.
Call (888) 440-9227- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
- Do not enter the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Avoid stepping in fluids or blood.
- Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
- Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

The Estate and the Deceased Person's Next of Kin

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Seattle Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces 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 Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

When can cleanup begin?
Cleanup can begin after police, the medical examiner, coroner or another authority releases the property and a crew agrees a start time with you.
Can I call at night or on a weekend?
