Has an infectious illness swept through your home or business? Are you in need of crime scene clean-up services? Are you dealing with a backed-up sewer? PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston delivers a full range of biohazard cleanup services, including the use of the PuroClean RapidDefense™ for a bacterial or viral outbreak. Safety is critical to proper biohazard cleanup. The team at PuroClean of Central Southwest Houston will carefully contain the area, remove any materials that are not salvageable, and then sanitize those that remain. If any odors remain, our trained technicians will deodorize the area, returning your property to pre-loss condition.
Before any remediation begins, a thorough assessment of the affected area is conducted. This includes identifying the source and extent of the biohazard, determining the level of contamination, and evaluating any potential risks. A detailed action plan is then developed, outlining the necessary steps for safe and effective remediation, including containment procedures, waste disposal methods, and decontamination protocols. This plan is communicated clearly to you, ensuring transparency and understanding throughout the process.
Safety is paramount in biohazard remediation. Our highly trained technicians adhere to stringent safety protocols and OSHA regulations at all times. This includes the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as respirators, gloves, and protective suits, to minimize exposure risks. Containment barriers are established to prevent the spread of contamination to unaffected areas, protecting both our technicians and the occupants of the property. We prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
The handling and disposal of hazardous medical waste require specialized procedures to comply with OSHA regulations and protect public health. Our team is trained to safely manage various types of medical waste, including spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids. All collected waste is carefully packaged and transported to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator for proper and compliant disposal.
Our biohazard cleanup process follows industry best practices and state regulations. We meticulously clean and decontaminate all affected areas. Porous materials like carpets, upholstery, and drywall are removed and disposed of properly. Non-porous surfaces are thoroughly disinfected using an EPA-registered disinfectant, allowing sufficient dwell time for maximum effectiveness, followed by scrubbing and rinsing to eliminate all lingering biohazards.
While the removal of the biohazard and thorough cleaning often eliminate most odors, lingering smells can sometimes persist. Our team assesses the need for additional deodorization and employs appropriate methods to neutralize any remaining odors. This may involve the use of hydroxyl generators or ozone treatment, which effectively break down odor-causing molecules and leave the space fresh and clean.
