Health and safety

The Knolls Home Biohazards and Serious Health Risks

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.

Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

First steps

First Steps Before You Call Biohazard Cleaners in The Knolls

Few people encounter this more than once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.

Call (888) 351-0904
  1. Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner or coroner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
  2. Remain outside the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Leave the cleanup to professionals. Household cleaners spread contamination and set stains into floors and walls.
  4. Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.
Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Cleanup in The Knolls

The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    You start by describing the situation. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
