The 7 Biggest Questions About BioHazard Removal
First of all What is Bio Hazard Remediation?
The Definition of BIO HAZARD REMEDIATION: Comprehensive Response and Remediation to situations and structures that are contaminated or suspected to be contaminated with Bio Hazardous Materials. The objective is to return situations and structures to pre-event conditions. It includes remediation of known and unknown infectious diseases and bio hazardous materials, crime and trauma scenes, unattended deaths, unsanitary dwelling and living conditions, hoarding, suicides, mass casualty incidents, bio terrorism, human and biological (sewage, blood) materials.
The Definition of CLEAN: Dr. Michael Barry of the EPA – The removal of Spoil both visible and invisibleDefinition of Forensic Cleaning – The removal of biological contaminants to prepare surfaces bit vertical and horizontal for professional disinfecting.
The Definition of DISINFECTION: The application of an EPA registered, Hospital Grade, Tuburceluocidal Disinfectant proven to kill both gram positive and gram negative bacteria and all known pathogens and inactivate both enveloped and non enveloped viruses.
Tackling biohazards ultimately is microbial warfare.

Why Can’t I Clean Up The BioHazard Myself?
A question people often ask is what are the reasons to not simply clean up the biohazard mess themselves. Here we answer that question and this is especially relevant when it is a family member, or when it seems like there may not be enough money to hire a company to do the job for you.
Blood, bodily fluids, and more all need to be thoroughly cleaned up and fully eradicated. Nobody wants lasting memories cleaning up the biological remains of their loved ones. This is work for a professional like Heroes Restoration Inc.
Biohazards are hazardous, there are blood-borne pathogens that thrive after a person dies. If the person(s) doing the cleanup work aren’t taking proper precautions, these pathogens can infect those individuals. It’s best to rely on professionals to do the cleanup work and to prevent the potential spread of diseases.

Who Cleans Up After A Suicide?
Many would immediately assume that it’s either the police, the coroner, or the doctors who would clean up after the suicide. Unfortunately this is simply not the case. Generally the body itself will be taken away, leaving the homeowner or family members to take care of cleaning what remains. Depending upon how violent the suicide was and how long the body was there before being found, there is likely biological waste in numerous places that’s not always easily visible. Biohazardous materials can be embedded within walls, the ceiling, flooring and other less obvious places.
This is why Biohazard removal experts are so important. Heroes Restoration Inc. painstakingly and thoroughly checks everywhere within the affected area to make sure that there is no remaining evidence of the suicide. We clean up every possible aspect of the suicide, including blood spill and any remaining body tissue.

How Long Does It Take To Clean Up?
We are sensitive to you wanting your home or property restored to its former glory, with no visual or olfactory reminders of what happened. That’s why we are on site within an hour*, so that we can begin cleanup as quickly as possible to help you move forward.
The length of time to clean up bio-hazards can vary greatly. There are more straightforward cases which allow us to get in and out in only a few hours. And then there are more complex cases of bio hazards that are spread over a large area, which may take hours, and possibly days, to clean up.
The important thing to remember is that Heroes Restoration Inc. – we are your cleanup heroes. The first step is contacting us so that we can assess the damage and have an open conversation about what we can do together to best address your biohazard situation.
-
Will My Insurance Cover Any of This?
The short answer is that we are here to champion on your behalf – but as with most things related to insurance, it depends. Some biohazard removal companies will also work FOR you to get insurance benefits that help cover expenses and the costs of replacing damaged items.
Many homeowners policies will cover some or all of the cleanup cost, since the property is devalued if there is any evidence of a gruesome act still around. What’s not always easy to determine is to what extent, if your insurance allows, that your homeowners policy will cover.
Our core focus is to make your restoration process as easy and as painless as possible. We are YOUR heroes at Heroes Restoration Inc. and focused on helping you. That means fighting for you to get the help you need, including financial resources to help you address the biohazard cleanup on your property.
Biohazard clean up and disinfection must happen FAST! The quickest way determine if your insurance will cover cleanup is to call Heroes Restoration Inc. for an assessment.

Do the Police Clean Up After a Murder?
No, the police do not clean up after a murder occurs. The coroner will remove the body, and what remains will be the responsibility of the property owner or tenant.
The police are on scene to assess and record every piece of evidence when a murder occurs. When finished they leave it all for you to address on your own. This can include fingerprint dust, any emergency technician refuse, body tissues and blood, and so forth.
At a murder scene, there can be biologically hazardous fluids and debris in many, many places. Depending upon the violence of the crime, body tissue and bodily fluids can be spread throughout the scene.
Cleaning up after a murder is what Heroes Restoration Inc. is best at, zero trace cleanup. Our expert caring team provides exact methods of cleanup so no one would ever know that a murder had occurred. Fully eliminating the scene from bloodborne pathogens, we offer fast and effective cleanup against biohazards.
-
Why Is BioHazard Removal A Regulated Field?
Biohazard removal can be incredibly dangerous. Biological hazards are dangerous to human beings and pets as biological threats to our health and safety.
To prevent people from the dangers of the biohazards and pathogens, for safety this field is closely regulated and has specific standards that must be upheld by field experts. There are standards in place to help ensure that the technicians working on a particular clean up task are as protected as possible from any dangers to include bloodborne pathogens, diseases, and more.
The very reasons why this industry is regulated are the same reasons why you shouldn’t undertake removing biohazards yourself. Biohazard removal is dangerous, and unless you are specifically trained biohazard cleanup expert, the risks you take may not be immediately apparent and can be very hazardous.
