ATI’s Biohazard Cleanup Process

Biohazard cleanup and remediation should be left to qualified professionals. This ensures that the job is done right and safety risks are kept to a minimum.

If your property is the scene of a traumatic incident (such as a crime or accident), you should first call the appropriate authorities. You will need to stay out of the area while first responders do their duties. Once the scene is released, do not attempt to clean up by yourself. Biohazards can cause serious illness and injury if you don’t have the right protective gear, and improper handling can cause pathogens to spread.

ATI Restoration has a proven process for cleaning up biohazards on residential properties:

Inspection

First, we inspect the loss and determine the type and degree of contamination. This helps us identify the PPE we need and the precautions we will have to take, as well as scope out the cleaning, restoration, and repairs.

Containment & Safety Measures

All personnel accessing the work area where a biohazard is present need to be properly equipped and trained. We set up containment barriers and signage to restrict access and keep occupants safe.

Biohazard Removal & Disposal

In any situation where biohazardous waste is removed, our certified technicians are trained in the correct disposal process. We send waste items and materials to state-approved facilities to be thermally destroyed in accordance with local and state regulations.

Cleaning, Disinfection, & Deodorization

ATI has multiple options for cleaning and disinfecting properties affected by biohazards. These include fogging with vaporized hydrogen peroxide, electrostatic spraying, and applying hospital-grade disinfectants. We also use deodorizing agents to remove unpleasant smells.

Restoration & Repairs

Some contents and materials may need to be restored, while others will need to be discarded. Whenever possible, we strive to salvage your carpeting, furniture, and possessions using the appropriate restoration techniques. ATI can also perform any necessary structural repairs.
