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.

Biohazard House Cleanup

Our technicians use professional equipment and specific protocols to ensure the affected property is free of biohazardous materials, allowing you to return to a clean, safe environment. Throughout the process, we manage all the details, freeing you to focus on your emotional well-being.

We understand the financial burden these situations can create, so we have the expertise needed to navigate insurance claims and we offer self-pay discounts, keeping your expenses as low as possible. For crime-related incidents, we can guide you to victim advocacy programs that your city or state may offer. 

Commercial Industrial Cleaning

We serve a diverse range of commercial and industrial clients, including schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, and food-handling companies. Our expert teams respond swiftly to various biohazard scenarios, from infectious disease outbreaks to workplace accidents, adhering to CDC protocols and OSHA regulations.

We prioritize minimizing downtime and reducing insurance claims. Our discreet, efficient service ensures thorough sanitization while protecting your staff and clients. We also offer customized emergency protocol development, allowing for proactive planning and faster response times.

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.

Most situations are covered by property/homeowner/renter's insurance. Call us today for immediate assistance.

Vetting Hazmat Cleanup Companies

When selecting a company for hazmat cleanup services, consider the following:

  • Ensure the company understands how to thoroughly eliminate contaminants and odors, not just mask or deodorize them.
  • Verify that the company is going to properly remove and dispose of permanently contaminated materials.
  • Ascertain whether or not the company will clean and disinfect the car, boat, RV, or fleet vehicle to ensure they can be titled a “biohazard vehicle.”

A reputable hazmat cleanup company should provide comprehensive services that restore affected areas to a safe, clean condition.

Bio Recovery was, by far, above and beyond what I expected. Tristan and Jason were VERY thorough, compassionate, and answered any and all questions about the clean- up of my DIL's suicide. Everything that was questionable, was either cleaned up or removed. The room was spotless when they left. I would HIGHLY recommend Tristan and Jason OR your company for any type of situation like this that our family had to endure. Thank you!

Hazmat Cleanup FAQs

What is hazmat cleanup, and when is it required?

Answer: Hazmat cleanup involves the removal, decontamination, and proper disposal of hazardous materials that pose a risk to human health or the environment. It is required in situations involving chemical spills, biological contaminants, toxic substances, radioactive materials, and other dangerous pollutants. Hazmat cleanup is essential after industrial accidents, natural disasters, chemical spills, and any incident involving hazardous substances.

Can I handle hazmat cleanup myself, or do I need to hire professionals?

Answer: Hazmat cleanup should always be performed by trained and certified professionals. Handling hazardous materials without proper training, protective equipment, and knowledge can be extremely dangerous and may lead to serious health risks, environmental damage, and legal consequences. Professional hazmat cleanup teams follow strict safety protocols and regulations to ensure thorough decontamination and safe disposal of hazardous materials.

How do I know if my property has been properly decontaminated after a hazmat incident?

Answer: After a hazmat cleanup, professional remediation companies conduct thorough inspections and testing to ensure that all hazardous materials have been effectively removed and that the area is safe for reoccupation. They provide detailed reports and documentation of the cleanup process, including the methods used and the results of any environmental testing. It’s important to review these reports and, if necessary, request additional testing to confirm complete decontamination.
