Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.
Biohazard removal services in Franklin and the surrounding areas cover crime scenes, traumatic events, hoarding, sewage and hazardous waste. Crime scene cleaners do the specialized cleaning that safe scene cleaning requires, from blood and fentanyl cleanup to odor control, with emergency response available day or night. The goal is respectful, compassionate service that helps restore safety to the home.

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
