Hoarding Hazards: Biohazard Cleanup Services in Burlington

Property damage can be a highly distressing and burdensome ordeal. Common culprits, such as mold, fire, or water, can adversely affect your residential or commercial property. Although not as common, biohazards can also lead to unexpected damage.

A biological hazard is any material or substance that poses an immediate risk to the health of humans, animals, and the environment. They can include human waste, medical waste, hazardous chemicals, biological agents, and more. Because of the sensitive nature of the situation, cleanup should always be handled by trained professionals. When you need biohazard cleanup in Burlington, give PuroClean of Burlington a call.

An Apartment on the Mend

Recently, we received a call requesting biohazard cleanup at an apartment dealing with a hoarding situation. Hoarding refers to the excessive accumulation and inability to discard or part with possessions, regardless of their value. In this case, our client was an older, single male who lived alone.

Before we could begin, our technicians dressed in personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, and booties, to protect ourselves from hazardous materials.

Once we were dressed in PPE, it was time to get to work. We diligently removed any porous materials affected by the contamination. Then, for non-porous surfaces, we thoroughly dried the affected surfaces and applied a professional-grade disinfectant to eliminate any remaining contaminants safely. Our comprehensive approach ensured we met the highest standards of cleanliness and health.

Hoarding is a serious issue, so PuroClean of Burlington provides the help and support you need to start your journey toward recovery. We understand it can be difficult to address hoarding issues alone, so our compassionate team of professionals is here to help.
