When Does a Home Disaster Become a Biohazard Cleanup in Charlotte Properties?

There are various types of loss that a homeowner can experience; one of the worst creates the need for biohazard cleanup. Some of the situations that call for that can range from a sewage backup in the home to a drug lab or animal hoarding situation, just to name a few.

When any of these types of events occur in a Charlotte property, professional biohazard cleanup is a necessity because there can be airborne pathogens, toxins, bacteria and a host of other unhealthy issues that both residents of the home and pets should avoid contact with.

Why SERVPRO?
Safety is a priority for the technicians. They have advanced equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE), including HEPA respirators and eye protection, gloves, boots, and Tyvek white suits to ensure they work as safely as possible when handling biohazard-rated jobs.

Determining Risk
When dealing with a water-based property cleanup that may contain chemicals, sewage, or other harmful elements, the techs test the water to determine what is present in the water. Hence, they know precisely the types of cleaning agents to use to eradicate bacteria or other harmful components to make the water safer to handle.

Safety Measures During Mitigation
In many cases, only a portion of a residence gets affected by a situation needing careful handling during mitigation. SERVPRO techs may put up negative air chambers or simple containment over doorways and vents to prevent the spread of any harmful substance or airborne particulate that could affect other areas of the home. Air scrubbers also run during cleanup and assist with the capture of airborne matter within its HEPA filtration.

Final Inspection
Once the cleanup efforts get completed, the techs inspect the home to ensure that it meets the standards for sanitization. They use powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial cleaners to safeguard any surfaces exposed during mitigation get disinfected. This inspection may extend to the ductwork in the home if the HVAC was running, and the potential for harmful airborne particulate is present during cleanup.
