Medical Waste Removal

Hazardous medical waste, such as peritoneal, amniotic, spinal, and other bodily fluids, is handled following OSHA regulations and sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.

Thorough Cleanup & Decontamination

We will adhere to industry standards and state regulations by removing all affected porous materials and safely discarding all other infectious materials. When treating non-porous surfaces, we dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing the disinfectant to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.

Deodorization

Usually, after cleaning the biohazard and sanitizing the area, odors tend to dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to eliminate the odor.
