What is the biohazard cleanup process for a home?

• <div>While a biohazard cleanup sounds like a scary process, knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns and set you up for success. It’s good to note that more than one professional might be needed depending on your situation, but that will be determined during the assessment. What you can expect during a home biohazard cleanup is the following:<ul><li>Assessment: The first step in this process is for a biohazard cleanup professional to assess the damage. They create a report that includes the biohazard safety level, the needed damage cleanup, and the time it should take to complete the project. </li><li>Setup: The cleanup professional prepares the site to prevent cross-contamination and reduce toxicity risk. This process can include tarping and creating decontamination zones. </li><li>Removal of surface contamination: Any contaminated materials are removed from the area, starting with large materials followed by small ones. The professional can assess any floor-related damage once everything is removed from the site. </li><li>Salvaging items: The biohazard cleanup professionals assess which items can be saved and which are contaminated beyond the point of saving. Those deemed unsafe will be disposed of immediately. </li><li>Waste disposal: The next step is carefully disposing of the hazardous waste. Your professional will place the contaminated items in specific containers to keep the contamination from spreading. </li><li>Disinfection: The house will be disinfected and odor-neutralized. Even more minor details, like light switches and bulbs, will be disinfected so that they do not recontaminate the area in the future. </li><li>Restoration: Once the decontamination is complete, the last step is to restore the home. This includes repairing the damage to flooring, walls, or even the home's foundation. </li></ul></div>

They were the cheapest out of all the companies I researched. The price they quoted was what I paid and they did not try to sell me any unnecessary add ons like many carpet cleaning companies do. Technician was professional. Overall job was great. Would use them again.

I've used Merry Maids for well more than a decade and am generally pleased with the work they do. General cleaning is well done, but sometimes the details aren't quite as I would hope. Cleaning around the baseboards and dusting hidden surfaces could sometimes be more thorough. They seldom...

Rusty from Walker Furniture Services arrived 15 minutes early and already had thought about two ways to repair the bed frame from the pictures I had sent him. Once he decided how he was going to do the repair, he clearly explained it to me and it was clear to see it was the better option. Once...

The crew of two women arrived within the time scheduled, but were inflexible in where to begin in the house. We needed a little time in the house to move some things around to allow them to begin cleaning upstairs. They did not move anything to clean i.e. suction baskets in the bathtub, leaving...

Erick showed up, I requested him b/c he fixed this bed when I first brought it into the house. It is an organic bed that was unfortunately cut in half in order to fold it like a sandwich to get it down the stairs during a move. Typically there was a patio with balcony to lower the bed down and...

Overall, we are very pleased with the service we receive. Two cleaners come to our house every other week and spend approximately two hours (i.e. four total person hours) cleaning the upstairs and main floor. This includes stripping and making the beds (as long as we leave out clean sheets),...

Rosalina is a gem. I have had several other cleaning services over the years, some long term, some for only a year, that could not seem to handle all the dusting required in the house. Granted we do have LOTS of items on shelves, etc. but all of the others accepted that prior to hiring, but...

The ladies worked very hard but not very thoughtfully; they roughly moved lots of things (including furniture) to clean but never put them back where they came from. Several pictures ended up hanging by the frames etc all out of kilter and parts were pulled out of some things and just left...
