Biohazardous materials (also referred to as biological hazards) are those substances that could cause a health risk to living organisms if they remain at the scene. Due to the risk they pose, they shouldn’t be touched or cleaned by an unqualified person because they won’t just put themselves in danger but could spread these materials into the wider community.

There are a number of different types of biohazardous materials, including toxins or viruses (that come from a human or animal), samples of a microorganism, and medical waste. Some of the life-threatening contaminates include intestinal parasites, salmonella, and E.coli. And, if blood is present at the scene, there’s the added risk of HIV.

Our team of certified technicians are trained to deal with hazardous materials, and follow the rigorous standards that are put in place by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). All government regulations and industry standards are adhered to, as well.

This means we’re able to deal with a biohazard quickly and effectively, cleaning and disinfecting everything thoroughly while taking care to restore items that are salvageable. Sometimes, this may mean discarding some personal belongings or contents due to the presence of contaminates. 

Due to the difficult nature of trauma cleanups, it’s important to find a company you can trust to not only do the job properly but treat the scene with discretion and tact. Our team at Gold Choice Restoration will treat you, your home, and everyone involved with respect and empathy at all times.

This begins with an inspection of your home or business where the crime or accident scene has taken place. We’ll then begin our remediation services straight away to prevent any of your possessions or the property itself from further damage. This includes removing any hazardous waste, getting rid of porous materials (i.e. carpets and fabrics), and ensuring any other materials are appropriately sanitized and decontaminated.

Treating the crime scene in this way prevents the spread of contamination, removing the risk of life-threatening conditions or illnesses that could arise if the materials aren’t dealt with properly.

We provide 24/7 services, so you can rest assured that as soon as you need us – we’ll be there. We’ll work with the police to make sure everything is dealt with properly and in accordance with the crime scene investigation. You’ll also have the peace of mind that your home or business will be decontaminated thoroughly, so everyone is safe to continue using the property after we’ve finished.

Our services cover a range of things including homicide, suicide, accidental death, animal death, and other crime scenes. So whether you need help removing the chemicals police have used to gather evidence or an entire crime scene needs cleaning up, no job is too big or small for our emergency disaster restoration team.

For instant peace of mind that your home or business will be effectively and sympathetically cleaned following a trauma or crime, call 214-989-7132 today.
