See crime scene cleanupBiohazard cleanup is available by phone in ZIP 53574 for blood, crime scene, sewage, hoarding, death and other situations.
After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.

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.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Before removal begins, you learn the cleanup plan, every step and the factors that shape the price. You face neither pressure nor surprises.
Photos, scope notes and waste records are ready for your insurance company, landlord or the state victim program.
You can call for emergency service at any hour, and crews come in unmarked vehicles so nearby residents and building staff are not told what occurred.
No judgment for hoarding or neglect, and care for you and your family at a difficult time. Your photos, important papers and keepsakes are placed aside.

Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
