Our Biohazard Cleanup Process in Springfield, VA

  • Our process begins with a plan. We thoroughly assess the contamination and create a safe and effective biohazard remediation plan. 
  • All potentially infectious materials are carefully removed from the site. Hazardous medical waste is handled in compliance with OSHA regulations, appropriately processed, and sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator. 
  • Porous materials such as carpet and bedding are removed following industry standards and government regulations. All other non-hazardous affected materials are either removed or professionally decontaminated and sanitized. 
  • Remaining materials such as drywall and flooring may be sealed, usually for cosmetic reasons, to cover any stains from the incident.

Planning and Organization

At the start of every biohazard cleanup, we perform a comprehensive assessment of the incident and the affected area(s). Our trained professionals determine the extent of the damage and the level of containment required to safely proceed. Once the evaluation is complete, we create a detailed action plan and communicate it to you, ensuring you’re informed and prepared for each step of the process.

Medical Waste Removal

Hazardous medical waste, including spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids, is managed with the utmost care during biohazard cleanup. Our team follows OSHA regulations to safely handle and dispose of these materials. Once collected, the waste is sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator to ensure proper and compliant disposal.

Thorough Cleanup and Decontamination

Our biohazard cleanup process includes the removal of all affected porous materials in compliance with industry standards and state regulations. Infectious materials are carefully discarded to prevent contamination. For non-porous surfaces, we use a multi-step process: drying the area, applying a disinfectant, allowing it to soak, and scrubbing as needed. This thorough approach ensures that the space is properly disinfected and safe for use again.

Deodorization

Odors caused by biohazards typically dissipate once the area is cleaned and sanitized. However, if persistent odors remain, our team will assess the situation and determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If needed, we utilize advanced methods, such as hydroxyl or ozone treatments, to eliminate odors entirely, leaving the space fresh and clean.

PuroClean’s RapidDefense™ program is a specialized service designed to clean and protect areas affected by harmful pathogens, including MRSA, Influenza, and Norovirus.
