Health and safety

Biohazards in Gilt Edge Homes and Their Serious Health Risks

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby 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.

Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Bloodborne Pathogens

HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

First steps

First Steps Before You Call Biohazard Cleaners in Gilt Edge

This is a one-time experience for most people. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Contact 911 for any injury or death. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
  2. Do not enter the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Avoid stepping in fluids or blood.
  3. Do not try to clean it yourself. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
  4. Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.
Step by step

A Step-by-Step Look at Biohazard Cleanup in Gilt Edge

The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    The caller describes what occurred. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    When infectious materials enter porous items such as drywall, carpet or pad, those items are cut away and contained as medical waste, with nothing left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.

  7. 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.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
