For safety reasons, we recommend vacating the area during the cleanup process, but it is not mandatory. Once the remediation is complete, our team will inform you when it is safe to return.

The duration of the cleanup process depends on the extent of contamination and the size of the area. Small contaminations may take a few hours, while larger situations could take up to several days.

In many cases, biohazard remediation is covered by homeowner’s or business insurance policies. Our team works directly with insurance companies to ensure the process is as seamless as possible.

We provide 24/7 emergency services and can typically arrive at your location within 2-4 hours.

Our technicians are trained in handling and disposing of materials contaminated by blood or other potentially infectious substances. Throughout this process, we adhere to all IICRC S540 standards as well as OSHA and EPA regulations, to quickly and effectively restore any space back to safety. 

It is not recommended to handle biohazard cleanup on your own. Biological materials can pose serious health risks, including exposure to bloodborne pathogens (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis B and C). Our trained professionals use specialized equipment and follow strict safety protocols to handle these situations safely.

Biohazard remediation services are needed in situations whenever there is a significant presence of biological material, typically following events like:

• Crime scenes
• Unattended deaths
• Homicides or suicides
• Bodily Fluids
• Hoarding situations
• Animal waste 
• Infectious disease contamination
• Industrial or workplace accidents

Biohazard remediation is the process of cleaning, sanitizing, and restoring areas contaminated by biological materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, or other potentially infectious materials, to ensure they are safe for use.

Unlike standard house or business cleaning, biohazard cleanup is a service that requires industry expertise, specialized equipment, and appropriate certifications. Aftermath’s science-based remediation process ensures that we properly assess the situation, contain the affected areas to prevent cross-contamination, remove all traces of blood and biological materials, and finally, disinfect and deodorize the area to a safe, livable condition.

To verify that the affected areas are free of pathogens, we use ATP tests, which measures cell activity, including bloodborne pathogens. Only when the test registers zero RLU (registered light units) are we satisfied with the level of clean. This test adds technology, measurability, and accountability to our biohazard remediation process. We are diligent and thorough because we understand that the health and safety of you and your family are on the line.
 

Health hazards posed by blood, bacteria, and infectious diseases can be serious. In cases of a communicable disease or a death or accident where blood is present, there is risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens (BBP), infectious outbreaks, and structural damage to the affected property. Oftentimes, these pathogens are invisible, making the disinfection process a challenging task for the inexperienced.
