Is your home or business dealing with a backed-up sewer or the spreading of an infectious illness? Are you in need of crime scene clean-up services? PuroClean of Fargo delivers a full range of biohazard clean-up services, including using the PuroClean RapidDefense™ for a bacterial or viral outbreak. Safety is critical to proper biohazard clean-up. The PuroClean of Fargo team will carefully contain the area, remove unsalvageable materials, and then sanitize those that remain. Our trained technicians deodorize the site if any odors remain, returning your property to pre-loss condition.
To begin, we provide a full assessment of the incident and affected area(s). We will determine the level of containment needed and inform you of the action plan.
It is key to perform biohazard removal with special attention to safety and industry and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear special personal protective equipment to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area, taking the appropriate steps to keep you and your family or employees safe.
Hazardous medical waste, such as spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids, is handled following OSHA regulations. It’s then sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.
All affected porous material will be removed per industry standards and state regulations. All other infectious material will be safely discarded as well. For non-porous surfaces, we will dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing this to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.
Typically, odors dissipate once the biohazard is cleaned and the area sanitized. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to eliminate the odor.
PuroClean’s RapidDefense™ is designed to clean up and protect after MRSA, Influenza, or Norovirus contamination.
Professionals have the equipment and training to clean up biohazards without further contamination. This will reduce the likelihood of illness spreading to others at the home or office. Call PuroClean of Fargo at (701) 997-2273 and rest assured that your property is in good hands.
Biohazards are any biological contaminants that risk carrying diseases, such as those found in sewage, mold, or viral or bacterial contamination, such as MRSA. Biohazards also include toxins found in decaying organisms, as well as bodily fluids.
Many insurance policies cover biohazard and crime scene cleanup. Check with your insurance provider to confirm the details of your specific policy.
Blood itself is not a biohazard. It’s what may be in the potentially hazardous blood, such as bloodborne pathogens (BBPs) or infectious microorganisms, that can cause diseases.
Bloodborne pathogens (BBPs), as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
As with any virus, the Coronavirus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and any respiratory droplets come in contact with another person. Keeping a good distance from infected persons will help keep you safe from contracting the disease.
