Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Seattle
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.
Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

First steps
How to Prepare for Biohazard Cleaning Services in 98103
Few people encounter this more than once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner or coroner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.

- Do not attempt your own cleanup. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
- Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.

Does Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in 98103? Who Pays?
Yes, often. Biohazard cleanup following a sudden incident, including a death, sewage backup or crime, is commonly covered by renters and homeowners policies, less your deductible.

Washington's Crime Victims Compensation Program, run by the Department of Labor and Industries, does not pay for crime scene cleanup, so victims of violent crime should ask what it does cover. Insurance is usually checked first.
Responsibilities for Landlords and Property Owners in King County
Owners or property managers usually pay for and organize cleanup inside rental units and shared areas.
Estate of the Deceased and Next of Kin
Death cleanup costs can often be covered by the estate. A family member or the estate executor normally manages this task.
Biohazard Cleanup Coverage for Homeowners and Renters
Insurance generally covers events that are both sudden and accidental. Insurance commonly excludes neglect over time and hoarding. Contact your insurer ahead of any cleanup.

Health and safety
Greater Seattle Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Greater Seattle, Step by Step
Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
The caller describes what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
