What Are Biohazards, and How Can SERVPRO Help?

1/9/2025 (Permalink)

Biohazards are biological substances that pose a threat to human health. They can result from events such as accidents, crime scenes, chemical spills, or exposure to infectious materials. Proper cleanup of biohazards requires specialized training, equipment, and precautions to ensure safety and prevent contamination.

Common Biohazard Scenarios

• Trauma or Crime Scenes: Cleanup of bloodborne pathogens and bodily fluids.
• Hoarding Situations: Removal of biohazards like mold, animal waste, and decomposing materials.
• Sewage Backups: Contamination from harmful bacteria and viruses.
• Chemical Spills: Handling of dangerous chemicals or hazardous materials.
• Infectious Disease Cleanup: Sanitizing spaces exposed to pathogens like viruses and bacteria.

Why Professional Cleanup Is Essential

Biohazards can carry serious health risks if not handled properly. DIY cleaning puts you at risk of exposure to harmful pathogens and may not fully eliminate contamination. Professionals like SERVPRO use advanced techniques, protective equipment, and industry-standard cleaning products to ensure safe and thorough remediation.
