You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.
After traumatic events in Boerum Hill, crime scene cleaning and other specialized cleaning can begin as soon as the property is released.

Crime scene cleaners aim to restore safety while giving families respectful, compassionate service.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

The property manager or owner commonly coordinates and funds cleanup for a rented unit or common area.
Call at any time. Ask a specialist to clarify the next cleanup steps for your property.
A few can persist a long time. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days, so dried blood should be treated as infectious.
Biohazard cleanup may be done discreetly. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private from neighbors and building staff.
