First steps
What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in Colonie
Few people encounter this more than once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.
Call (888) 440-9227- If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
- Do not enter the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
- Do not attempt your own cleanup. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
- Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.
Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Colonie, Step by Step
From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
Say what happened. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.
Containment of the Affected Area
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Your own contractor or a vendor working with your insurer can replace any removed drywall or flooring.

Who cleans up dead bodies and death scenes in Albany County?
