2. Gear up and isolate
Crews wear gloves, eye protection, respirators and disposable suits. Doors close, vents are managed and the work zone is marked.

Disinfection and odor control come last. The crew walks through the finished area with the owner and answers any questions about what was done.

Biohazard Clean Up Questions From Santa Monica, CA Property Owners
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
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.
Does biohazard cleaning remove the smell?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.
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.
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.
Is cleaning up a biohazard dangerous without training?
It can be. Bloodborne pathogens, sharps and airborne particles pose real risks, and a mistake can spread contamination through a home. Professional crews use gear, containment and procedures built for the job.
