Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup in Matteson and What It Covers

Health and safety
Biohazards in Matteson Homes and Their Serious Health Risks
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

First steps
What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Matteson
Most people only face this once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.
Call (888) 440-9227- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. The medical examiner or coroner, law enforcement and first responders need to clear the scene before any cleanup starts.
- Do not enter the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Never cross an area containing blood or body fluids.
- Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
- Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.

Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

Containment of the Affected Area
Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials

Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Tracking paperwork follows sealed waste to a permitted facility where medical waste is treated.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
