Professional Biohazard Cleaning Services Near You

Biohazard cleanup goes beyond cleaning. It’s about restoring safety and serenity after traumatic events—whether it’s bodily fluids, chemical spills, or other hazardous materials.

In Knoxville, property owners, not the state, are responsible for post-investigation cleanup. Once police release a scene, our certified teams immediately assess and launch safe, compliant remediation protocols.

Our Biohazard Cleanup Process: Step‑by‑Step

  1. Assessment & Remediation Plan
    We survey the site, whether it’s a multi-story home near Market Square or a remote property in Karns, and plan biohazard restoration efficiently.
  2. Safety Protocols
    Our crews establish a secure work area, don PPE, and follow CDC, OSHA, and EPA protocols rigorously.
  3. Removal of Infectious Materials
    Using EPA-approved disinfectants suited to the local climate, we remove all biohazardous substances.
  4. Disposal of Waste
    Any medical waste is packaged and sent to licensed hazardous-waste facilities, ensuring compliance.
  5. Removal of Porous Materials
    Damaged carpets, fabrics, or plaster are removed following industry and local regulations.
  6. Cleaning & Sanitizing
    Salvageable surfaces are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants, then dried using desiccants or refrigerant dehumidifiers based on structure type.
  7. Deodorization & Sealing
    Walls and floors are deodorized; stains are sealed when appropriate, ideal for older homes prone to staining in historic districts.
  8. Hydroxyl or Ozone Treatment (If Needed)
    We use hydroxyl generators for sensitive historic interiors or ozone for tougher odor control, customizing based on property and occupant needs.
