    Our Biohazard Cleanup Process in Burlington, WI

    • Our process begins with a plan. We thoroughly assess the contamination and create a safe and effective biohazard remediation plan. 
    • All potentially infectious materials are carefully removed from the site. Hazardous medical waste is handled in compliance with OSHA regulations, appropriately processed, and sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator. 
    • Porous materials such as carpet and bedding are removed following industry standards and government regulations. All other affected non-hazardous materials are either removed or professionally decontaminated and sanitized. 
    • Remaining materials, such as drywall and flooring, may be sealed, usually for cosmetic reasons, to cover any stains from the incident.

    Planning and Organization

    We start by conducting a thorough assessment of the incident and all affected areas. This evaluation helps us identify the extent of the damage and determine the level of containment required. Once the assessment is complete, we develop a clear action plan tailored to your specific needs and communicate all details to you, ensuring you are informed and confident in the steps we will take to restore your property.

    Safety as a Priority

    Safety is our top priority when performing biohazard removal. Our technicians are highly trained to follow strict industry and OSHA standards to protect everyone involved. They wear specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure their safety and take all necessary steps to contain the affected area. By doing so, we minimize risks and safeguard you, your family, or your employees throughout the process.

    Medical Waste Removal

    Hazardous medical waste, such as spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids, requires specialized handling. Our team ensures all waste is managed in compliance with OSHA regulations and disposed of properly. Once collected, the medical waste is transported to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator, guaranteeing safe and lawful disposal.

    Thorough Cleanup and Decontamination

    We follow strict industry standards and state regulations to ensure every affected area is cleaned and decontaminated. Porous materials that cannot be salvaged are removed and safely discarded. Non-porous surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using a multi-step process. We apply disinfectants, let them soak, scrub the surfaces, and repeat the process as needed to ensure the area is fully sanitized and safe.

    Deodorization

    Once the biohazard is removed and the area is sanitized, odors usually dissipate naturally. However, if any lingering odors remain, our team will assess the situation and take further action. We use advanced deodorization methods, such as hydroxyl or ozone treatments, to neutralize odors at their source, leaving your space clean and fresh.
