First Steps Before You Call Biohazard Cleaners in Northbrook

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.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
