Scope of Suicide Cleanup Services
Suicides are complicated and often messy. There will be blood, bodily fluids, odors, and tissue remaining at the scene, even after the body is removed. These fluids can leave strong-smelling stains, cause permanent damage to furnishings, fabrics, and home installations, and make the property uninhabitable until professional cleanup is complete.
When you call in Bio-One, we provide thorough site assessment, follow OSHA-recommended protocols for minimizing cross-contamination and hazards, and remove all hazardous biological remnants from the scene. Our processes are carefully designed to minimize disruption to loved ones and the property while eliminating biological hazards from causing more damage. Along with suicide cleanup services, our teams are trained in handling homicide cleanup, unattended body cleanup, and more extreme cleaning services.
Services Provided by Suicide Cleanup Service
Suicide cleanup is a multi-phase process, and our trained technicians can handle the entire process, so you only have to make one call. Our services include:
Cleaning
Biohazard remediation starts with cleaning. We use the proper safety equipment and OSHA-guided safety protocols for cleaning fluids, tissue, and damaged materials from the site of a suicide. First, we clean visible blood and stains. Then, we use detailed testing methods to thoroughly remove biohazards that are hard to see, microscopic, or invisible at a glance.
Removal of Biohazards
We responsibly isolate, package, and dispose of biohazards off-site. Our teams will scour the area for every trace of contaminants and contain them before removing them. This process reduces the risk of cross-contamination and provides better safety for occupants, neighbors, and future property owners.
Disinfection and Decontamination
During the decontamination and disinfection stage, our technicians clean all the surfaces and materials in the affected area to guarantee that microorganisms and pathogens are lingering. We use disinfectant chemicals rated by the EPA to improve the area.
Odor Removal and Air Purification
Even when the surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and the biohazards are removed, smells can linger. This can be due to the body decomposition itself, especially if discovery took several hours or days, and because investigators may have closed off ventilation during the investigation, leaving a musty, unaired smell in the area. Our teams will deodorize surfaces, eliminate odors, and ventilate the space once the risk of cross-contamination is gone.
Following Best Practices From Start to Finish
Cleaning up a suicide is complex, and the biohazards make it potentially dangerous. This is why it's best to hire trained experts with experience cleaning up suicides. As part of our comprehensive services, we guarantee:
- Adherence to regulations regarding the containment, removal, and disposal of biohazards. This includes proper handling on-site and during transportation.
- A commitment to following safe practices to minimize cross-contamination risks.
- Swift and thorough services to minimize disruption,
