PuroClean of Thornton are licensed, insured, and certified to safely remediate biohazard environments and comply with all applicable laws and standards. We understand that some events may be sensitive and must be handled with compassion and discretion. We bring a sense of calm back to those impacted, whether the loss is in a home, commercial property, or business office.
When police and investigators have gathered all the evidence from a crime scene, they are no longer responsible for any of the actual cleanup of the scene. Once police release the crime scene area, the responsibility falls on the owner of the premises to procure biohazard cleanup services. The biohazard cleanup crew can only begin their work after the police have released the scene.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard in 1991 to protect all workers from possible dangers of blood or other potentially infectious materials (BOPIM). Hepatitis B virus, HIV, the 2019 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and many more are examples of Infectious pathogens.
This standard helps protect nearly 5.6 million workers in the healthcare field and related jobs, including biohazard remediation companies. Biohazard remediation is within the scope of the BOPIM standard.
First, we thoroughly assess the situation and the affected area (s). Then, we determine the level of containment needed and inform you of the action plan.
It is critical to perform biohazard clean-up with particular attention to safety, industry, and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear specialized personal protective equipment to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area and take the appropriate steps to keep you and your family or employees safe.
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.
We will adhere to industry standards and state regulations by removing all affected porous materials. Simultaneously, we will safely discard all other infectious materials. When treating non-porous surfaces, we dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing this to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.
Usually, after cleaning the biohazard and sanitizing the area, odors tend to dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to eliminate the odor.

Biohazards are any biological contaminants that have the risk of carrying disease, such as those found in sewage, mold, or any viral or bacterial contamination such as MRSA. Biohazards also include toxins found in decaying organisms, as well as bodily fluids.
