What is a Biohazard?

A biohazard is defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a dangerous biological substance that poses a risk of serious illness and even death to human beings. Biohazards can be living organisms themselves, such as bacteria, or by-products of organisms, like fecal waste containing viruses. Rodent droppings, for example, are considered a biohazard because they contain Hantavirus—a virus that can cause fatal illness in people.

Because biohazards present a number of health risks, they need to be probably contained and eliminated by experienced professionals. The biohazard remediation specialists at PureOne Services are bloodborne pathogen-certified and extensively trained in preventing disease transmission, allowing them to safely and effectively address risks.

How Does Biohazard Remediation Work?

Removing biohazardous waste and sanitizing an area isn’t something you can accomplish with a mop and a bucket of bleach. Our professional cleanup crews are equipped to handle a variety of different bio and trauma remediation situations safely, effectively, and discretely.

After a site assessment and completed documentation of apparent biohazards and damage, we’ll work to contain those dangerous elements and remove them from the site before beginning the decontamination process. PureOne Services utilizes professional-grade disinfectants, specialized products, and ozone treatments to clean and sanitize porous surfaces, remove stains, and eliminate odors from your home. We’ll also remove and reconstruct any compromised structural components, leaving your home or building safe and sound. Finally, we will work with you and your insurance claims adjuster to get your claim filed and processed.

Types of Biohazard Remediation

PureOne Services provides cleanup services for a range of biohazard situations, from crime scene cleanup to odor and rodent remediation. Here are some common types of biohazard cleanup that require professional remediation services.

• Biohazard Cleanup
  This is an umbrella term that covers any cleanup services involving biohazards or biohazardous waste. If you find yourself faced with a potential biohazard, protect your health and contact the professionals at PureOne Services.
• Crime Scene Cleanup
  When police finish processing a crime scene, the owner is left to clean up the area. A professional remediation team can alleviate stress during this traumatic time by safely and effectively restoring the area.
• Suicide Cleanup
  It’s never easy to lose a loved one, but it can be particularly difficult to deal with the aftermath of a suicide. PureOne Services understands the need for discretion and compassion during this time and will work to clean the site quickly and efficiently.
• Unattended Death Cleanup
  An unattended death occurs when a person passes away alone. These situations can lead to potential biohazards, which require a specially trained cleanup crew to decontaminate the area.
• Blood Cleanup
  Bloodborne pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, and toxins, should be handled by trained professionals. If you find yourself faced with a bloodied surface covering an area larger than a dinner plate, call PureOne Services’ team of biohazard remediation specialists.
• Homeless Encampment Cleanup
  Any place that involves people living in close conditions can play host to a number of biohazards, from fecal matter to blood. A cleanup crew can safely remove potential biohazards and restore the area.
• Odor Remediation
  Unpleasant odors can indicate a larger problem and potential biohazards. Our trained technicians can clean contaminated surfaces to remove these lingering odors.
• Rodent Remediation
  Rodent feces left behind after an infestation can carry dangerous Hantaviruses, which can be released when piles of fecal matter are disturbed. A professional cleanup crew can remove these biological hazards safely.
• Tear Gas Remediation
  Lingering tear gas can cause health issues and make an area uninhabitable. Trained cleaners can remove this dangerous residue and restore an area.
