Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Seattle Businesses and Homes
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
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.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.

Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Is Done in Greater Seattle
The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.
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.
Containment of the Affected Area
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
When infectious materials enter porous items such as drywall, carpet or pad, those items are cut away and contained as medical waste, with nothing left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
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.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
