The Basics of Biohazard Removal by Emergency Restoration Pros


Found some blood or weird stains after an accident? Suspect there might be hazardous chemicals or dangerous mold in your home?

Situations involving potentially infectious bodily fluids or other freaky contaminants can be super stressful. But trying to scrub away biohazards yourself is never a good idea.


Here's what you should know about these scary situations of biohazard removal, and why the pros at Emergency Restoration Pros are the best folks to call to make things safe again.


What Exactly Are Biohazards?

Let's start by going over what makes something a biohazard.

These are substances that contain germs or toxins that can cause nasty illness or even death if you get exposed. Some common examples include:


Blood and Other Bodily Fluids

You've got viruses like hepatitis and HIV in addition to bacteria like MRSA floating around in blood and fluids. Direct contact can infect you with some seriously bad diseases. Crime scenes or unattended deaths often mean large amounts of blood that need proper cleanup.


Chemicals and Other Toxic Stuff

Industrial cleaners, paint thinners, pesticides: you name it. If it's a chemical and can harm or kill you if touched, swallowed or breathed in, it's bad news.


Poop, Puke and Pee

Really gross, I know. But human or animal feces, vomit and urine carry contagious germs. You don't want to spread those around.


Mold and Fungus

That black mold spreading across your basement? Definitely a health hazard you don't want to mess with. Some molds release spores that can cause respiratory issues.

So in short: biohazards can really do some damage if you get any on or in you. Safest bet? Don't go near the nasty stuff if you can help it!

Step-By-Step: How Emergency Pros Clean Up Biohazards


Wondering how the biohazard removal process works to wipe out contamination and restore safety? At a high level, the pros follow these key steps:

Size Up the Situation


First, the pros inspect the affected area fully suited up to identify the type and location of any blood, chemicals or biohazards. This info allows them to prepare the right equipment and cleaning agents to tackle the job.


Lock Down the Hot Zone

Next, the team isolates the contaminated area using barriers, warning signs, and air filtering machines to prevent hazards from migrating to clean zones. This "hot zone" containment protects the rest of the property during cleanup.


Remove Contaminated Items

All affected materials like soiled carpets, furniture, and belongings get removed and disposed of properly as hazardous waste. This eliminates the core biohazards.


Clean and Disinfect

The pros then thoroughly clean and disinfect the area using medical-grade solutions, steamers, and foggers. Repeated applications ensure every last bit of contamination gets eliminated.


Remove Lingering Odors

Air scrubbers and deodorizers are used to fully remove any remaining smells from the site, leaving behind zero evidence of any biohazards.


Confirm Completely Clean

The project manager does a final inspection using detection tools to confirm no traces of hazardous materials linger before giving the green light that the area is safe again.
