BioHazard Cleanup

If there is an emergency situation that requires biohazard or trauma cleanup, the two vital factors are experience and quick response. Exposure to any kind of chemical or biological contaminants can pose serious health risks and the failure to remove these hazardous substances can make the environment unhealthy and dangerous.

Our certified team of technicians from Cousino Restoration & Environmental have the required specialized training, equipment and the experience when tackling biohazardous scenes and removal and disposal of hazardous substances according to the OSHA standards and health regulations. Our expert team is well equipped to assist you in transforming any unsafe environment to clean and safe places.

What You Shouldn’t Do after a Contamination

• If the ceiling is wet, don’t turn on the ceiling fixtures and stay out of the rooms if the ceilings are sagging.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to remove any water.
• Don’t use any electrical appliances.
• Don’t leave wet fabrics, books, magazines, etc. on the wet floors and carpets.

Bodily fluids, blood and other biohazardous materials can be hazardous for anyone who comes in contact with it — the trace amounts are so small that you cannot see them with your naked eye and can be a serious health risk. Cleaning up such a scene is dangerous and should be left to the experts with proper training and equipment.

Not only should the area been cleaned carefully, all the things removed from the scene must be disposed of in a proper manner to prevent the spreading of contamination and diseases. If the contaminated spaces are not cleaned, sanitized and restored properly, the unseen dangers can linger and cause problems in the future.
