How It Works
Our Process
Assessment & Safety Planning
Technicians assess the scene, identify all biohazardous materials, and develop a containment and remediation plan before work begins.
Containment
The affected area is isolated to prevent cross-contamination. Access is restricted to authorized personnel in appropriate PPE.
Removal & Decontamination
All biohazardous materials are removed and surfaces are decontaminated using EPA-registered disinfectants effective against bloodborne pathogens.
Odor Neutralization
Specialized odor neutralization treatments address residual odors that standard cleaning cannot eliminate.
Waste Disposal
All biohazardous waste is packaged, labeled, and transported to a licensed medical waste disposal facility in compliance with DOT and EPA regulations.
Clearance & Documentation
The area is inspected and cleared for reoccupancy. Full documentation is provided for insurance claims and regulatory records.
