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 Torrance delivers a full range of biohazard clean-up services, including the use of the PuroClean RapidDefense™ for a bacterial or viral outbreak. Safety is critical to proper biohazard clean-up. The team at PuroClean of Torrance will carefully contain the area with biohazard clean-up, remove any materials that are not salvageable, and then sanitize those that remain. If any odors remain, our trained technicians will deodorize the area, returning your property to pre-loss condition with biohazard clean-up.
To begin the biohazard clean-up, we provide a full assessment of the incident and the area(s) affected. We will determine the level of containment needed and inform you of the plan of action.
It is critical to perform biohazard clean-up with special attention to safety, industry, and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear specialized personal protective equipment to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area and take 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 in accordance with 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, once the biohazard is cleaned and the area sanitized, odors dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to ensure the odor is gone.
RapidDefense™ is designed to clean up and protect after MRSA, Influenza, Covid-19, or Norovirus contamination.
Professionals have the equipment and training to safely clean up biohazards without further contamination. This will reduce the likelihood of illness spreading to others at the home or office. Call PuroClean of Torrance at (424) 699-5000 and rest assured that your property is in good hands.
