Hazmat Cleanup

The Role Of A Hazmat Cleanup Company

When faced with a biohazard situation, it's essential to contact skilled professionals for safe and effective cleanup. Attempting to handle biohazardous materials without proper training and equipment can pose serious health risks and may not effectively decontaminate the area.

Bio Recovery offers a comprehensive range of specialized biohazard cleaning services nationwide. Each one is tailored to address specific scenarios with precision and care:

Blood Spill Cleanup

Blood spills present significant health risks and require professional handling. Specialized technicians are trained in the safe containment, removal, and disposal of blood-borne pathogens, tissues, and bodily fluids. The scene must be decontaminated, disinfected, and cleaned for the safety of all who are currently in the space or will be in the area. This type of biohazard cleanup is necessary when a crime, accident, unattended death, or suicide occurs.

Hazardous Waste Cleanup

Often, when hazardous chemical or biological contaminants are uncontained, hazmat cleaning must occur. Professional hazmat cleaners are trained to safely remove and dispose of biohazardous waste in full compliance with OSHA and public health regulations. These specialized services ensure that affected properties are restored to a safe, habitable condition.

The Hazmat Cleanup Process

First, call Bio Recovery’s customer care specialists anytime

Call our office as soon as possible at 1-888-752-5001, any time of the day or night. Our customer service team will ask you some basic questions about the property and nature of the biohazard contamination. If the property is insured and you know the name of the insurance company, this can expedite the process further.

Our compassionate team members will walk you through the process, and our insurance experts will work directly with the insurance carrier to process the claim if insurance is available. While coverage can vary depending on individual policies and circumstances, we're committed to exploring every avenue to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. In many cases, we can offer a service credit to help defray or even eliminate the cost of the insurance deductible.

If insurance is not available, Bio Recovery charges a customer-friendly, discounted, simple fixed price per day that is agreed upon upfront.

Our teams will respond and begin the cleanup within hours

Our field technicians arrive quickly in unmarked vehicles to protect your privacy, inspect the site, and create a custom cleanup plan based on EPA, CDC, and OSHA guidelines. Safety is our #1 priority and a major consideration throughout the cleanup. Once our initial assessment is complete, the cleanup plan and estimated time to completion will be clearly communicated.

Our cleanups usually include, but aren’t limited to, the following steps:

1. To reduce the spread of contamination, the property was divided into zones, and PPE was used and changed frequently.
2. Use of specialized air pollution control devices, including ozone generators, air scrubbers, and HEPA vacuums to remove odors and airborne contaminants.
3. Fogging of the property with a hospital-grade disinfectant to disinfect both hard and porous surfaces.
4. Thorough cleaning and wiping of all visible and unseen contaminated surfaces using specialized absorbents, chemicals, and containment methods.
5. Removal of any building materials such as walls and flooring as well as furnishings that are too contaminated to be cleaned and preparation of affected areas for restoration.
6. Use of ATP testing to monitor bacteria levels throughout the entire process to ensure nothing is missed.
7. Repeated inspections, testing, and sanitizations to ensure no contamination remains in hidden areas.
8. Legal transport and disposal of all contaminated biohazard waste following all OSHA requirements.

We communicate with you throughout the process

Throughout the cleanup process, we will constantly communicate about issues that arise, recommendations to ensure the cleaning is successful and the property is free of lingering odors, important items we discover, and project logistics. Your questions and concerns are welcome throughout the process.

We photograph and document the damage

We photograph and document the entire process, noting all damages for insurance and administrative documentation. Although you may prefer not to see the photos, we can share them if you like.

You give your final approval

Once our job is complete and the area is safe, we will conduct a final inspection with you. We will answer all questions about the steps we took to restore the property to a safe and sanitary state and ask you to sign a final inspection form.

Billing occurs upon your complete satisfaction

If the cleanup is covered by insurance, we will prepare a detailed invoice with all documentation and work directly with the insurance carrier to settle the claim, which is a process that can sometimes take several months. We will keep you apprised of the status of your claim.

If there is no insurance coverage, we will process your payment at the previously agreed discounted fixed rate and only upon your approval.
