This is an overview of how they work:
- Assessment and Planning
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the affected area to identify the type and extent of contamination. Technicians evaluate risks associated with bloodborne pathogens, chemical residues, or infectious materials. Based on the findings, they develop a detailed remediation plan, including the necessary equipment, cleaning agents, and protective measures.
- Safety Precautions
Technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, masks, goggles, and biohazard suits, to prevent exposure to harmful substances. They also set up containment areas to prevent the spread of contaminants to unaffected parts of the property.
- Removal of Hazardous Materials
Specialized tools and cleaning agents are used to remove biohazardous materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, or contaminated objects. These materials are carefully bagged, labeled, and transported for proper disposal according to local and federal regulations.
- Cleaning and Sanitization
Once the biohazards are removed, technicians thoroughly clean and disinfect the area using hospital-grade solutions designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. This step ensures the area is safe for re-entry.
- Deodorization
Odors caused by decomposition or contamination are neutralized using advanced equipment like ozone generators or hydroxyl machines.
- Restoration
If structural elements such as drywall or flooring are compromised, the team may remove and replace them to restore the area to its pre-contamination state.
- Final Inspection
A final inspection ensures that all hazards have been addressed and that the site is clean and safe for habitation or use.
