How Do We Clean?
Potential biohazards from blood borne pathogens exist until the entire area is cleaned and decontaminated. We first clean any removable items in the room, keeping a list of what cannot be saved and quickly returning to you anything we can clean and disinfect. We then clean and disinfect every surface, removing all present biohazards including any in all the nooks and crannies. Working from top to bottom, we clean the ceiling, walls, furniture, personal items, and even light fixtures. As each tiny spot and square inch in a room exposed to biohazards is considered a potential source of infection, we make sure all these areas are thoroughly cleaned and made safe. When we are finished, the area will look as it did before the traumatic event took place.
We Will Work With Your Insurance Provider
We will work directly with your insurance carrier to minimize out of pocket expenses. In most cases, homeowner’s insurance will cover the cost of our services, minus the deductible, as well as the replacement and repair of any items that have been contaminated and require disposal. We will file the claim on your behalf and submit an inventory of any items that are removed or unrecoverable due to biohazard contamination. Our staff will also be there to answer any questions the insurance provider has so you can focus on processing your grief.
