Cleaning a property following certain events can sometimes require a specialist touch. When those events arise, you may need to turn to a biohazard cleaning service. Whether you're handling a cleanup after trauma or you require an emergency decontamination service, it may help to learn more about when biohazard cleaning is necessary.

Decontamination After Pathogen Exposure

Some pathogens have the ability to wreak havoc when they enter your environment. For example, the COVID-19 virus can send entire companies into lockdown, and when you don't tackle it promptly, you may find yourself facing financial penalties. Similarly, a campylobacter outbreak in a hospital or care setting can leave lots of patients vulnerable as it's so difficult to remove from surfaces. At the rarer end of the scale, certain tropical diseases — such as ebola — require a swift and thorough response from cleaning teams.

When you use a biohazard cleaning service, you'll find that no stone is left unturned. Your cleaning team will use techniques such as fogging, which involves swift and effective dissemination of decontaminants throughout your property. The team will let you know when it's safe to return to the building so that you can return to your usual activities.

Trauma Cleanup Services

Traumatic events that result in a massive loss of blood usually command a specialist cleaning team. These events can follow crimes, the natural progression of a disease, self-harm, and accidents. Blood can carry a range of bacteria, viruses, and other bloodborne pathogens. It's an especially harmful substance when it carries incurable diseases such as hepatitis C or HIV. Because of this, unprotected contact with it comes with significant risks.

Biohazard cleaners take a specialist approach to clearing blood. Depending on why the blood is there, it may be splattered across surfaces in a way that not everyone can spot. By taking a meticulous approach using specialist tools, your cleaning team will remove it thoroughly and make your property safe again.

Cleaning After a Flood

Floods can cause a significant amount of damage to your property. Depending on your location, they can also introduce contaminated water to the environment. When that water contains sewage, your risk of contracting a disease is high.

With biohazard cleaning, your team will decontaminate surfaces and areas such as your flooring. While you may not be able to save everything, you can make it safe to return to your property and restore it to a liveable state of repair. In some cases, you may be able to save your original structures and reduce how much you spend on restoring your building.
