You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning.

Planning for access, containment and cleanup can depend on local population, housing and entry conditions.

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
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.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Calls for emergency service are taken around the clock, while unmarked vehicles keep the situation private from neighbors and building personnel.

Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.
Describe what occurred. Technicians examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.
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.
Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
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.
Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
