Biohazard Cleanup in Memphis: What It Is and What It Covers

The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.

Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Professional biohazard cleanup goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

Local conditions

Local Biohazard Cleanup Conditions in ZIP 38103

Containment, entry and cleanup plans can be influenced by local housing, population and access details.

14,534residentsCensus ACS
68%of homes are rentedCensus ACS
1999median year homes were builtCensus ACS
499residents 65+ live aloneCensus ACS

Since 68.3% of local homes are rentals, a cleanup plan may need to protect tenant privacy while keeping the property contact informed.

In housing built around 1999, selective removal can expose affected layers without disturbing finishes outside the cleanup boundary.

With 40.4% of seniors living alone, an unattended illness or death may go unnoticed, increasing the area affected by fluids and odor.

Because just 23.0% of housing is single-family, cleanup may require protecting elevators, corridors, and neighboring occupied areas.

First steps

What to Do Before Using Biohazard Cleaning Services in 38103

For most people, this happens only once. These first steps protect your health, your insurance claim and the final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 351-0904
  1. Contact 911 for any injury or death. Before cleanup can start, the medical examiner, along with law enforcement and first responders, must release the location.
  2. Stay out of the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Never cross an area containing blood or body fluids.
  3. Do not try to clean it yourself. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
  4. Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Memphis Businesses and Homes

Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Greater Memphis

Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Describe what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Odor is treated at the source with air scrubbers, hydroxyl or ozone, and vents are checked.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    The space is inspected and, where appropriate, ATP tested to confirm a livable condition, and documentation and photos are prepared for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal
