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.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.
Biohazard removal services in Framingham and the surrounding areas cover crime scenes, traumatic events, hoarding, sewage and hazardous waste. Crime scene cleaners do the specialized cleaning that safe scene cleaning requires, from blood and fentanyl cleanup to odor control, with emergency response available day or night. The goal is respectful, compassionate service that helps restore safety to the home.

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.

Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.
