No one wants to think about the possibility of a trauma or serious accident happening on their property. Recovering from the unexpected like a crime scene or an accident can feel overwhelming, especially if you are tasked with the cleanup and restoration on your own.
It is important to remember that any dangerous or hazardous substances should always be cleaned up by professionals, which is where we come in. Our biohazard team is trained to handle dangerous and toxic substances so you can focus on the more emotional impacts of recovery.
When to Call in a Biohazard Team
A simple spill or minor accident at work can often be cleaned up by your janitorial staff or a few spots of blood can be wiped up off your floor at home on your own, but larger situations or anything that is potentially dangerous should involve a biohazard team.
Biological and chemical hazards pose exposure risks, which is why we prioritize safety and proper PPE when tending to your situation. We follow all regulations according to OSHA, the EPA and local health codes.
Many different situations can warrant a biohazard cleanup crew, including bloodborne pathogens, sewage leaks, chemical spills, hoarding situations and disposal of animal remains. In fact, even fresh water can become a biohazard if it is left to sit for a long period of time.
Bacteria or other hazards can start to grow in any of these circumstances and can be a danger to your health. Our team will clean, sanitize and contain the area while we work so everyone stays safe.
If a Crime Occurs on Your Property
In the immediate aftermath of a crime that has occurred on your property, you may be consumed with helping the investigation and ensuring your family is safe and well-cared for. After you answer the appropriate questions and comply with the investigation process, the authorities will leave your home and reality can start to sink in.
Oftentimes, the residents or owners of the property where the crime occurred are responsible for the cleanup. You have already been through enough, so give us a call so we can handle it for you.
Crime scenes often have blood or other hazardous contaminants on the floor or walls, but we can take care of it for you. We can also help clean up any signs of the crime scene processing, like leftover fingerprint powder, pepper spray or tear gas residue, and fire extinguisher residue. There are many different aspects to a crime scene cleanup, but we are fully trained and qualified to handle it all for you.
When an unexpected disaster or traumatic event occurs, our biohazard team is ready to get to work for you. Call us day or night whenever you need us.
