Why Choose SceneSafe?
Biohazards can arise from various situations, including deaths, medical emergencies, hoarding, animal infestations, and illicit drug use. These incidents can result in significant amounts of potentially infectious waste, which poses serious health risks if not handled properly. At SceneSafe BioDecon, we specialize in the safe and thorough cleanup of such hazardous environments.
Biohazard scenes can include:
Blood and bodily fluids: Common in medical emergencies and violent incidents.
Vomit and feces: Often found in situations involving illness or unsanitary conditions.
Animal waste and remains: Resulting from infestations or neglected properties.
Spoiled and rotting food: Typically associated with hoarding situations.
Needles, IV catheters, and other ‘sharps’: Found in areas affected by drug use.
Viral and bacterial pathogens: Potentially present in any biohazard scenario.
Proper removal, disposal, and cleanup of biohazards are essential to protect the health and safety of occupants. Pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can survive on contaminated surfaces for days or weeks, posing long-term health risks. Additionally, contamination may extend beyond what is readily visible; for instance, blood and bodily fluids can seep into clothing, bedding, upholstery, and even through flooring materials into subfloors.

Our Process
To ensure that your home or business can be safely reoccupied following a biohazard event, we follow a detailed and meticulous mitigation process. This process is designed to address all potential hazards and ensure comprehensive decontamination. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we handle biohazard cleanup:
Assessment and Planning
We begin by thoroughly assessing the scene to identify all potential hazards. This initial evaluation helps us understand the extent of contamination and the specific biohazards present. Based on this assessment, we develop a detailed action plan tailored to the unique needs of the situation. This plan outlines the steps we will take to clean and restore the affected area safely and effectively.
Isolation
To prevent cross-contamination, we isolate the work area from the rest of the property. This involves setting up containment barriers and using negative air pressure systems if necessary. Isolating the affected area is crucial to ensuring that biohazardous materials do not spread to other parts of the home or business during the cleanup process.
Removal of Contaminated Items
We systematically remove all contaminated items from the scene. This includes personal belongings, furniture, flooring, and any other materials that have been exposed to biohazardous substances. Items that can be salvaged are cleaned and disinfected following strict OSHA guidelines. Non-salvageable items are safely disposed of according to regulatory standards for biohazardous waste.
Decontamination
Once all visible traces of biological materials are removed, we thoroughly decontaminate all affected surfaces. We use hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants to eliminate pathogens and ensure that all surfaces are sanitized. This step is critical to removing any remaining biohazardous materials and preventing potential health risks.
Final Steps
Depending on the extent of contamination, additional steps may be necessary to ensure complete remediation. This can include:
Odor Removal: We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove any lingering odors caused by the biohazard event.
Sealing Porous Surfaces: Porous materials like wood framing and subfloors may absorb biohazardous substances. We seal these surfaces to prevent any future contamination and to ensure long-term safety.
Continuous Testing
Throughout the mitigation process, we continuously test for the presence of biological materials. This ongoing testing ensures that no contaminants are missed and that the area is thoroughly decontaminated. We use advanced testing methods to verify that all surfaces are safe and free from biohazards before we complete the job.
Final Inspection and Clearance
After the cleanup process is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that all areas meet our stringent safety and cleanliness standards. We provide a detailed report of the work performed and the measures taken to ensure the property is safe for reoccupation.
By following this comprehensive process, we guarantee that your home or business is restored to a safe and habitable condition. At SceneSafe BioDecon, we take pride in our meticulous approach and our commitment to the health and safety of our clients.
