The Biohazard Solution For The Fort Mill And Rock Hill Areas

3/10/2020 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO of Rock Hill & York County for any of your Biohazard needs.

Dealing with a crime or trauma In the Rock Hill or Fort Mill area is undoubtedly difficult. Unfortunately, biohazards can linger at the scenes of these events, creating the potential for new victims if they are not properly eliminated.  You can protect yourself from the physical aftermath of a traumatic situation by calling SERVPRO of Rock Hill & York County for any biohazard cleanup.

The Purpose

Blood-borne pathogens, various biohazards, crime scene residues and dangerous chemicals often remain even after the initial crime or trauma.  SERVPRO's professional restoration experts trained in biohazard cleanup have specialized training and equipment that allows us to safely remove any toxic materials and restore normalcy to the area.  Their expertise is invaluable for people struggling to deal with the repercussions of a variety of unpleasant experiences, including:

  • Crimes and accidents
  • Suicides, homicides, injuries, and death
  • Sewage backups
  • Methamphetamine labs
  • Chemical spills
  • Hoarding
  • Vandalism
  • Animal waste or remains

The Process

When cleansing a scene, professionals create three distinct zones with biohazard tape and plastic sheeting.  The clean area provides a place for them to store their equipment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.  The buffer zone offers a secure area for them to put on their personal protective equipment.  The actual scene that needs to be cleaned is referred to as the control zone.

Once the sections have been established, restoration professionals get to work, eliminating biohazards using a three-step process.  In the cleaning phase, they remove blood, biological materials, dirt, and chemical residues.  They also take out any materials that cannot be salvaged, disposing of them as medical waste.  The sanitization phase comes next.  Here, technicians spray a sanitizing foam over any affected surfaces.  This foaming is repeatedly done until adenosine triphosphate fluorescence testing verifies that the area has been thoroughly sanitized.  In the final phase, technicians use deodorizing agents to remove any odors.

At SERVPRO we understand the emotional and practical challenges involved in dealing with a crime scene or trauma scene.  Our professional technicians have the empathy and expertise needed to tackle biohazard cleanup and restoration situations in the Rock Hill  and Fort Mill area.  Following the protocols established by both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), we can remove the risks inherent in these scenes and restore a safe environment in your home or business.  Call  803-324-5780 today to discover more about our services or request professional assistance.
