Biohazard cleaning explained

What Crosswoods Biohazard Cleanup Means and Includes

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. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Biohazard removal services in Crosswoods reach the surrounding areas as well, with emergency response for crime scenes and other traumatic events. Crime scene cleaning, scene cleaning after an unattended death, hazardous waste removal and fentanyl cleanup all count as specialized cleaning. Crime scene cleaners work quietly to restore safety and offer respectful, compassionate service at a hard time.

  • Bodily fluids and blood, whether dried or fresh
  • Decomposition after an unattended death
  • Human and animal waste, urine and vomit
  • Category 3 black water and untreated sewage
  • Needles, sharps and medical waste
  • Residue from fentanyl, meth and drug labs

Health and safety

Biohazards in Crosswoods Homes and Their Serious Health Risks

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards

Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

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 C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

First steps

What You Should Do Before Contacting Crosswoods Biohazard Cleaners

Few people encounter this more than once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Remain outside the affected area. Shut the door, and do not let pets or children enter. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
  3. Leave the cleanup to professionals. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
  4. Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Describe what happened and which rooms are affected so the cleanup team can plan.
Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Crosswoods

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

    Say what happened. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.

  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

    Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
