Health and safety

Biohazards in Sherwood Forest Homes and Their Serious Health Risks

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Bloodborne Pathogens

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.

Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards

Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

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

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

First steps

What You Should Do Before Contacting Sherwood Forest Biohazard Cleaners

For most people, this happens only once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. Phone 911 if someone is hurt or has died. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Stay out of the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Keep your feet away from blood and fluids.
  3. Do not attempt your own cleanup. 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. Describe what happened and which rooms are affected so the cleanup team can plan.
Step by step

Step-by-Step Biohazard Clean Up in Sherwood Forest

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 examine and photograph the area, then confirm the work scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.

  3. 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.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.

  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

    A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
