Suicide can be a shock for loved ones and everyone on the periphery of the incident. Alongside the mental and emotional turmoil, family members and property owners also have to consider striking—and immediate—challenges regarding the body and cleanup of the surrounding area. While morgues and funeral homes can assist with cleaning up the body and preparing it for a funeral, companies like Bio-One specialize in cleaning up the home and belongings that were impacted by the suicide. Learn more about our suicide cleanup services, what suicide cleaning includes, and how our suicide cleanup company can handle the process on your behalf.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
