First steps
What You Should Do Before Contacting Genoa Biohazard Cleaners
Few people encounter this more than once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Contact 911 for any injury or death. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
- Keep away from the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
- 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.
Step by step
How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Genoa, Step by Step
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 describe the incident. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on 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
Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
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
Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
