Biohazard Cleanup in Roanoke: What It Is and What It Covers

The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.

You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

First steps

Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 24017: What to Do

Few people encounter this more than once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
  2. Stay out of the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
  4. Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Roanoke Homes and Businesses

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough

Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.

Step by step

How Biohazard Clean Up Is Done in Greater Roanoke

From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Say what happened. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
