Death cleanup services, also known as biohazard remediation or trauma cleaning, involve the professional and compassionate removal, cleaning, and disinfection of a scene following a death.

 

This is a specialized service performed by Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC, trained technicians who safely handle blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials that pose serious health risks. 

 

Situations requiring professional death cleanup Professional death cleanup is necessary for a variety of circumstances, including:

• Unattended death: When a body is not discovered for an extended period, leading to decomposition. This can result in biofluids seeping into floors, walls, and subflooring, requiring extensive remediation.
• Suicide: A traumatic and often hazardous event that requires sensitive and discreet cleaning to protect family members from both physical and emotional harm.
• Homicide: Cleaning up a murder scene involves complex biohazard and crime scene residue removal.
• Accidents and trauma: Cleaning up after an accident involving blood or other bodily fluids.
• Hoarding: Often involves unsanitary and hazardous conditions, which a professional service can manage.
• Decontamination: After infectious diseases have contaminated an area. 

 

Why you should hire a professional like Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC.

 

Attempting to clean up a death scene yourself is not recommended and is extremely dangerous.

 

Here's why: 

• Health and safety risks: Biohazards like blood and bodily fluids can carry deadly pathogens, including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and MRSA. Professionals use specialized equipment and follow strict safety protocols to contain and neutralize these hazards.
• Specialized equipment: Standard household cleaners are ineffective against severe biohazards. Professionals use hospital-grade disinfectants, personal protective equipment (PPE), and advanced tools like air scrubbers to ensure the area is completely sanitized and safe.
• Preventing emotional trauma: The act of cleaning up after a loved one's death can cause severe psychological distress and further complicate the grieving process. Hiring professionals allows families to focus on healing.
• Proper disposal: Biohazardous waste cannot be thrown in the regular trash. Professionals are trained to handle, transport, and dispose of these materials in accordance with strict state and federal regulations.
• Insurance coverage: Most homeowner's insurance policies cover death cleanup services. Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC can help you with the claims process.
