Cleaning up after decomposition requires professional biohazard remediation because of the serious health risks and the specialized process needed to fully sanitize the area.

 

Decomposition can release dangerous pathogens, and bodily fluids can seep into porous materials, making standard cleaning ineffective. 

 

Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC provides decomposition cleanup services nationwide.

 

Why you should not attempt cleanup yourself

• Health and safety risks: Bodily fluids and tissues can contain bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Airborne pathogens and harmful bacteria are also released during decomposition.
• Contamination spread: Without the proper training and equipment, you risk spreading contamination to other parts of the property. This can make the problem more widespread and costly to fix.
• Inadequate sanitation: Standard household cleaning products cannot adequately disinfect areas affected by decomposition. Porous materials like carpeting, drywall, and subflooring often absorb fluids and must be removed.
• Lingering odors: The smell of decomposition is intense and difficult to remove. Professional services use advanced deodorization techniques, such as ozone treatment, to eliminate the odor at a molecular level.
• Emotional trauma: For family members, cleaning up after a loved one's death can be emotionally devastating and psychologically traumatic, potentially hindering the grieving process. 

 

The professional biohazard cleanup process

• Assessment and containment: Technicians first assess the scene to identify all contaminated areas, including hidden spots like subflooring. They then seal off the affected area to prevent cross-contamination.
• Removal of biohazards: All biohazardous materials, including bodily fluids, contaminated items, and porous materials like furniture and carpet, are safely removed and disposed of according to federal and state regulations.
• Cleaning and disinfection: The affected surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using hospital-grade, EPA-approved cleaning agents. Specialized cleaning techniques are used on all surfaces, including walls and floors, to eliminate all traces of contamination.
• Deodorization: Advanced methods, such as hydroxyl generators or other air purification equipment, are used to neutralize and eliminate odors completely.
• Restoration: The final step is to restore the property to a habitable condition. This may involve replacing flooring, drywall, or other structural elements that were removed during the process. 

 

Hiring a professional service

• Find experienced specialists: Look for companies with specific experience in decomposition cleanup. A trained and certified biohazard remediation specialist is the best choice.
• Check credentials: Confirm that the company is properly insured and that its technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including hazmat suits and respirators.
• Confirm insurance coverage: Many homeowners' insurance policies cover the cost of biohazard cleanup services. The cleanup company may be able to work directly with your insurer.
• Ask about discretion: Reputable companies use discreet, unmarked vehicles to protect the privacy of the family.
