Upon completion, we use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing technology to guarantee hospital-level standards of disinfection.

Health hazards posed by bacteria, viruses, and infectious diseases can be serious. Oftentimes, these pathogens are invisible, making cleanup an even more difficult task for the inexperienced. Aftermath specializes in delivering the highest standards of biohazard remediation and communicable disease disinfection. We are dedicated to providing emergency rapid response 24/7/365 so you can focus on what’s important, your family or business.

How Do We Clean?

Every infectious disease case is a biohazard situation, and every biohazard situation can include infectious disease. This is why we adhere to OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen regulations and practice universal precautions to protect our employees and our customers. Our science-based process ensures that we contain the affected areas to prevent cross-contamination, remove all traces of biological materials, disinfect and deodorize, and test to confirm that the affected areas are free of pathogens. We are diligent and thorough because we understand that the health and safety of you and your family are on the line.

What Is Remediation?

To many, biohazard remediation (and its commonly used alternative, crime scene cleanup) sounds like standard cleaning. In reality, the two services couldn’t be more different. Biohazard remediation refers to the removal, cleaning, and disinfection of blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially harmful pathogens in affected areas after a death, accident, or communicable disease outbreak. Because of the high exposure risk to bloodborne pathogens, biohazard remediation is a specialty service that requires proper training, equipment, certification, and licensing.

Aftermath has designed a 3-step remediation process and developed a line of cleaning agents to protect the health and safety of our customers and their property. For more than 20 years, we have adhered to the highest standards in biohazard remediation to ensure that our customers and employees are fully protected. We stand by our work with a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

These superbugs can be spread in many ways, including blood transfusions, contact with bodily fluids, sexual intercourse, and even through skin-to-skin contact.

Oftentimes, these pathogens are invisible, making cleanup an even more difficult task for the inexperienced. Every infectious disease case is a biohazard situation, and every biohazard situation can include infectious disease.

Our science-based process ensures that we contain the affected areas to prevent cross-contamination, remove all traces of biological materials, disinfect and deodorize, and test to confirm that the affected areas are free of pathogens.

"The Pasadena Aftermath team did an outstanding job. Not only are they a remarkable team, they are also exceptional individuals. Over the course of the week that they were here, we got to know and trust them. They handled this unthinkable situation with grace, compassion, and the utmost respect for the victims. Words will never be able to truly capture the appreciation we have for them. When our world felt like it was hit with a tsunami, your team threw us a life preserver and told us that we will be okay again.The world needs more “Kevins”, “Jamies”, and “Hassens”, who will help lift the burden off of strangers who are facing their darkest days."

"Sterling and Aurelia did much more than clean the scene. They were patient, kind, and very compassionate. They took good care of the property as if it was there own. Sterling and Aurelia communicated with us every step of the way. Their presence alone did much to contribute to the healing process. On top of all that, they did a fantastic job cleaning the house. To be honest, we hated to see them leave. Our family thank them both to the highest degree!!"
