HomeBlogThings to Understand About Biohazards

Biohazards are contaminated substances that are left behind from meth labs, hoarder sites, sewage spills, crime scenes, etc. These substances pose a threat to your health. These contaminants come from things such as human blood and other bodily fluids, needles or other sharps waste, disease outbreaks, mold infestations, and animal byproducts.

Things to Understand About Biohazards

How dangerous are biohazards?

There is a range of minimal threats (such as E. coli) to life-threatening pathogens that have no treatment (such as Ebola). The levels of biohazard material vary and should always be addressed with caution and cleaned up before any of these pathogens find a home in your body.

What can you do about biohazards?

Professionals, such as those on our team at Restorative Pros Inc., need to clean and sanitize the location. We are trained to handle hazardous materials and dispose of them correctly when removing them from your location. Specialized equipment and knowledge are required, as cleaning up biohazards can be dangerous if not properly handled or any dangerous substances are left behind.

How are biohazards cleaned up?

Biohazard cleaning is much more in-depth than regular or deep cleaning. Every nook and cranny of a site must be treated and cleared. Biohazard suits are worn to protect our team as they remove the waste, clean and sanitize, and properly dispose of the biohazards.

If it is not possible to completely clean an item, it will have to be removed and disposed of rather than hoping it is ‘good enough’. This could include the removal of flooring, sections of walls, doors, door frames, etc. It is always better to replace an item than to risk it holding biohazardous materials that can negatively affect your health. Our team will always err on the side of protecting you and your health.
