What Is Biohazard Cleanup?

Biohazard cleanup involves the safe removal, disinfection, and disposal of materials that pose a threat to human health. This includes cleaning scenes involving trauma, unattended death, hoarding, sewage backup, animal remains, chemical spills, and infectious disease contamination.

These scenarios often contain bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, viruses, and hazardous waste that require certified handling and disposal procedures. Our role is to thoroughly decontaminate the area, neutralize health risks, and return the property to a safe, habitable condition.

Common Biohazard Situations We Handle

Our biohazard remediation services in Austin, TX cover a wide range of sensitive scenarios, including:

  • Suicide, homicide, or unattended death scenes
  • Crime scene cleanup after law enforcement leaves
  • Blood and bodily fluid remediation
  • Hoarding and gross filth cleanup
  • Animal waste and decomposition
  • Sewage backups and overflows
  • Virus and pathogen decontamination (including COVID-19)
  • Chemical spills and hazardous material exposure

It’s important to note that law enforcement and public officials do not handle the cleaning of crime or trauma scenes. Once their investigation concludes, it becomes the property owner’s responsibility to hire a professional biohazard cleanup service.

OSHA Compliance and the BOPIM Standard

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires strict adherence to safety procedures when handling blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM). This federal standard covers workers exposed to pathogens such as Hepatitis B, HIV, and COVID-19.

At PuroClean Property Savers, our technicians are trained to meet or exceed OSHA’s BOPIM standards. Our protocols include:

  • Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including respirators and waterproof suits
  • Containment of affected areas to prevent cross-contamination
  • Proper transport and disposal of medical and biological waste
  • Documentation and incident reporting
  • Health and safety assessments before and after each job

These standards ensure the safety of both our crew and the future occupants of the property.

Our Biohazard Cleanup Process in Austin, TX

Every situation is different, but our approach to biohazard cleanup in Austin, TX follows a consistent, thorough protocol:

1. Site Assessment and Safety Planning

We begin by evaluating the site, identifying all biohazard risks, and developing a tailored remediation plan. Our technicians conduct a health and safety assessment to ensure full regulatory compliance and protect both workers and property occupants.

2. Containment and PPE Deployment

We isolate affected areas using containment barriers and negative air systems when necessary. Our team wears full PPE, including nitrile gloves, face shields, and respirators, to prevent exposure to hazardous substances.

3. Removal and Disposal of Biohazardous Materials

Contaminated items such as porous furniture, carpet, and clothing that cannot be salvaged are safely removed and disposed of at licensed facilities. Materials like spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, and other bodily fluids are handled per medical waste regulations.

4. Compliant Hazardous Waste Handling

OSHA regulations dictate exactly the way hazardous medical waste should be handled. For example: spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and any other bodily fluids are carefully handled and transported to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.

5. Remediation of Porous Materials

Per state regulations and industry standards, technicians are required to eradicate porous materials such as fabric and carpeting that cannot be properly cleaned.

6. Cleaning and Disinfection of Salvageable Items

We clean all non-porous surfaces with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants. HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers remove lingering pathogens, dust, and debris. All protocols follow industry best practices for thorough and effective sanitation.

7. Deodorization and Restoration

Once the space is clean, we neutralize odors using thermal foggers, hydroxyl generators, or ozone treatments as needed. We aim to restore both the physical space and indoor air quality to pre-contamination conditions.

8. Advanced Odor Management (If Necessary)

Odors can normally be managed by the removal of unsalvageable contaminated materials and by washing items with hospital-grade disinfectants. However, tough situations may call for further procedures of deodorization to accomplish success.

Compassionate Care During Difficult Times

We understand that many biohazard cleanup scenarios in Austin, TX involve emotional trauma, grief, or shock. Our team works with discretion, respect, and empathy, always mindful of the distress our clients may be experiencing. From hoarding cases to death scenes, we treat every property and person with compassion and professionalism.

Our technicians receive specialized training not only in technical cleanup but in handling sensitive situations with dignity. We’re here to help—not just clean.

Certification and Regulatory Awareness

While some states have specific licensing requirements for trauma and crime scene cleanup, others do not. Our company follows all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Our staff receives ongoing training in OSHA standards, biohazard handling, and industry-specific certifications to ensure best-in-class service.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in every project. We use:

  • Cut-resistant nitrile gloves
  • Waterproof coveralls
  • Full-face respirators
  • Eye and head protection
  • Biohazard bags and approved waste containers

We also document every step of the remediation process to provide you and your insurance provider with complete transparency.

Virus and Pathogen Disinfection

Our biohazard cleanup services in Austin, TX also include proactive and reactive cleaning for viral outbreaks. Using our proprietary RapidDefense™ Program, we apply EPA-approved disinfectants that help protect against viruses such as Norovirus, Influenza, and COVID-19.

These treatments are ideal for:

  • Schools and daycare centers

While no treatment can guarantee immunity, our procedures reduce the presence of pathogens and help restore safer indoor environments.
