Biohazard cleanup process for property owners
A tenant is typicalley discovered when a tenant fails to pay rent on time, flies are seen in a window, or odor is emanating from the unit and going into the common areas, or an adjoining unit. Once a property manager suspects a tenant my be deceased, they should then call the police to request a welfare check. When a deceased person is found by first responders, detectives will conduct an investigation before the coroner removes the body and, in most cases, places a coroner’s seal on the door.
This coroner’s seal is to protect the belongings of the person inside and prohibits entry to anyone until the deceased is positively identified and the legal next of kin can be confirmed and contacted. DO NOT ENTER the unit until the next of kin authorizes entry, and then the property manager can arrange for biohazard cleanup. If no next of kin can be located, the property manager can then ask for the coroner’s authorization to have us enter and clean the unit. If there are health and safety concerns for other residents, please call us prior to contacting the coroner and we will walk you through the procedure to get a limited release.
When you call us to arrange for biohazard cleanup services, we’ll ask you several questions:
- Has the scene been released by the police investigators?
- Is there a coroner’s seal on the door?
- Has the next of kin been located?
- Is the scene inside an apartment unit, common area, a house, parking lot, exterior, etc.?
- What caused the biohazards? (Suicide, unattended death, crime, trauma/accident, or medical emergency)
- What type of weapon was is involved, if any? (gun, knife, rope, physical fight, overdose)
- How long was the person deceased before they were found?
- Is there an odor in the unit and are there any flies, dead or alive?
- Was the deceased found on the floor, on furniture and in what room?
- Who is the onsite contact when we arrive?
The answers to the questions above will help dispatch the proper crew and equipment to complete the work and restore the property.
On-site biohazard cleanup
We are very discrete. We arrive in a plain, white unmarked truck. We will seal off the contaminated areas to prevent further cross-contamination outside the unit or common areas. After an accessment of the hazards is completed, the technicians will donn properly personal protective equipment (PPE), and begin remediating the biohazards layer by layer through affected furniture and flooring, cleaning and decontaminating as needed depending on where the biohazard fluids have reached. Blood and body fluids find their way into areas you would not expect. For instance, a blood spill on carpet may have a much larger pool beneath on the floor or under the carpet across the subfloor, or old flooring under the current layer. If the scope of work is bigger than initially expected, we will check in with the onsite contact before proceeding. As we clean, we carefully document all the damage to justify work done and for insurance documentation if needed.
All hard surfaces are cleaned and decontaminated and only removed if fluids have penetrated beyond our ability to access and clean. Any porous materials such as unsealed wood, paper, or fabric that cannot be saved due to saturation, will be carefully removed and dispose of it as regulated biohazard waste. If there is any lingering odor, we will discuss next steps to remove the odor, which includes an industrial ozone treatment.
Once all areas are cleaned and decontaminated, we perform a detailed inspection of the entire unit to make sure all biohazards and contaminates are removed and the property is safe.
