First steps
Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Oakbrook Terrace: What to Do First
For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner or coroner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
- Remain outside the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Never cross an area containing blood or body fluids.
- Leave the cleanup to professionals. Household cleaners spread contamination and set stains into floors and walls.
- Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.
Step by step
How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Oakbrook Terrace, Step by Step
Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You start by describing the situation. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
