Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Columbus: Meaning and Coverage
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

First steps
How to Prepare for Biohazard Cleaning Services in 43229
Most people only face this once. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.
Call (888) 351-0904- Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.

- Call your insurance company. Notify the insurance company, check the biohazard cleanup coverage and keep a written record of the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Describe what happened and which rooms are affected so the cleanup team can plan.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Columbus Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
