How it works

From first call to fully restored

The biohazard process we follow on every job, step by step.

Call Now (833) 502-4258
  1. 1

    A calm first conversation

    We ask only what we need to plan the work, explain what happens next, and can coordinate with property managers or insurers so the family does not have to.

  2. 2

    Scene assessment

    Technicians identify every contaminated area. Fluids often travel under flooring and into subfloors beyond what is visible.

  3. 3

    Containment and protection

    Work areas are isolated and technicians use personal protective equipment suited to bloodborne pathogen exposure.

  4. 4

    Removal of contaminated materials

    Affected porous materials are removed and packaged for disposal under applicable waste-handling rules.

  5. 5

    Cleaning and disinfection

    Hard surfaces are cleaned and then disinfected with EPA-registered products used according to label directions.

  6. 6

    Odor treatment and final check

    Remaining odors are treated, and the area is inspected before we hand it back.

Biohazard essentials

Privacy and discretion

We handle sensitive situations the way we would want our own families treated.

Call Now (833) 502-4258

Unmarked vehicles on request

One point of contact

One coordinator handles your questions and can speak with landlords, property managers, and insurers on your behalf when you authorize it.

Respect for belongings

Personal items, photos, and documents are set aside for the family instead of being thrown away.
