Understanding Biohazard Cleanup in SOHI and What It Covers

Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.

It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Crime scenes, unattended deaths and other traumatic events in SOHI call for specialized cleaning, not household products. Crime scene cleaners use careful scene cleaning methods to remove hazardous waste, treat odor and complete fentanyl cleanup when drugs are involved. Emergency response reaches the surrounding areas too, and the work is a respectful, compassionate service that helps restore safety.

  • Dried and fresh blood or bodily fluids
  • Decomposition after an unattended death
  • Urine, vomit and animal waste or human waste
  • Raw sewage and Category 3 black water
  • Needles, sharps and medical waste
  • Meth, fentanyl and drug lab residue

Health and safety

Why Household Biohazards Pose Serious Health Risks in SOHI

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens

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

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

First steps

Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in SOHI: What to Do First

For most people, this happens only once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.

Call (888) 351-0904
  1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or has died. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Keep away from the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Leave the cleanup to professionals. Household cleaners spread contamination and set stains into floors and walls.
  4. Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.
Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in SOHI

From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Explain the situation. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade 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

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared 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.
