Medical Waste Removal

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

Thorough Clean-up & Decontamination

All affected porous material will be removed per industry standards and state regulations. All other infectious materials will be safely discarded as well.  For non-porous surfaces, we will dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing this to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.

Deodorization

Typically, odors dissipate once the biohazard is cleaned and the area sanitized. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to eliminate the odor.

PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program is designed to clean up and protect after MRSA, Influenza, Covid-19, or Norovirus contamination.

The team from PuroClean were FANTASTIC. We had a waterfall coming out of our ceiling on a Friday night before leaving our house. We called PuroClean and they were out at our house on Saturday morning and had everything set up and drying before lunch time. The men were so nice, answered all our questions and helped us navigate with our insurance adjuster. I would recommend them ANYTIME!!!

I have had two experiences recently with PuroClean of Lancaster. The first being at my mother's house in which a water line came loose while she was out of town and flooded the entire main floor of her home and her basement. PuroClean was there daily checking on the progress of the house dry out. They were always very easy to reach and communicate with. They were on top of everything. When they said something would be done, it was done when they said it would be and as expected. My mother had recently been through another traumatic experience only a few months before her house flooded and the PuroClean team was extremely understanding and compassionate towards her. For a company that sees these tragedies on a regular basis they certainly made my mother feel like she was their number one priority and they were very empathetic. The second experience was with my own home. We had been getting water in our basement during heavy rains and thought we had done a good job cleaning up the water but then noticed damaged to the drywall in the finished section of the basement. PuroClean came out not once, but twice to ensure they evaluated the space appropriately and were providing the correct guidance. My mother's house was covered by insurance, ours was not. PuroClean's prices were extremely reasonable. They are incredibly thorough, efficient, and prompt. The quality of their work and the work of those they contract with is truly unmatched. Additionally, I have never met a more professional and respectful group. Each time I met with them I was amazed at their level of professionalism. I would absolutely recommend this group to anyone in need of services such as theirs. I cannot say enough good things about this group.
