Health and safety
Biohazards in North Lawndale Homes and Their Serious Health Risks
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.

First steps
What to Do First Before Calling Biohazard Cleaners in North Lawndale
For most people, this happens only once. Your health, claim and final cleanup cost are protected by the first actions you take.
Call (888) 440-9227- If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. Wait for first responders, law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner to release the area before beginning cleanup.
- Do not enter the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Never cross an area containing blood or body fluids.
- Avoid cleaning the area on your own. Using household cleaners may move contamination around and cause stains to set in walls and floors.
- Call your insurance company. Ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered when you report the loss, then note the insurance claim number.
- Call for biohazard cleanup. A description of what occurred and where contamination is located lets the cleanup team make a plan.
