Medical Waste Removal

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

Thorough Cleanup & Decontamination

All affected porous material will be removed in accordance with industry standards and state regulations. All other infectious material 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, once the biohazard is cleaned and the area sanitized, odors dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to ensure the odor is gone.

I had a steam humidifier disconnect on me under my house which resulted in it basically raining under my house. The result was a small lake of standing dirty water, soaked insulation, and very damp joists and subflooring. Josh showed up the same day I called and assessed the situation. He dispatched his team the next day and they removed all of the wet insulation, cleaned up the standing water, and remediated the mold that had formed on the wood, and constructed a high volume air circulation system to dry out the wood. After a week of high volume ventilation that dried out the wood and prevented further mold growth, they replaced the insulation and left the area spotless. Josh and his team are true professionals. I highly recommend PuroClean of South Reno.
