What Saratoga Springs Residents Ask About Biohazard Cleanup
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What does a biohazard cleanup company do with my belongings?
Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.
Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
Does biohazard cleanup cover sewage backups?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so crews remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect the area and dry it when needed. A plumber fixes the pipe, and the cleanup team takes care of what the backup left behind.
What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
