Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Tacoma

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.

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 98422: What to Do

Few people encounter this more than once. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Contact 911 for any injury or death. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner or coroner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
  2. Keep away from the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Do not walk through blood or 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. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

Insurance and who pays

Does Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in 98422? Who Pays?

Yes, often. Homeowners and renters insurance commonly covers biohazard cleanup after a sudden event such as a death, a crime or a sewage backup, minus your deductible.

Rental Property Owners and Landlords in Pierce County

The property manager or owner commonly coordinates and funds cleanup for a rented unit or common area.

Washington Crime Victim Compensation

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.

Estate of the Deceased and Next of Kin

After a death, cleanup costs can often be paid by the estate. This is generally managed by the executor or a family member.

Homeowners and Renters Insurance for Biohazard Cleanup

Insurance generally covers events that are both sudden and accidental. Coverage usually does not apply to hoarding or ongoing neglect. Check with the insurer prior to starting work.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Seattle Businesses and Homes

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.

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

Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.

Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards

Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

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

Step by step

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Greater Seattle, Step by Step

The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    You describe the incident. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.

  3. 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.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

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

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.

  7. 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.

  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.
