A stolen vehicle found with paraphernalia, a property contaminated with human or animal waste, an unattended death in a home, a crime scene with blood or illicit narcotics, and communicable diseases in the workplace. These are all examples of environments contaminated with biohazards. Biohazards are any biological substance which can harm human or animal health. The risks associated with biohazards vary greatly depending on the source and extent of contamination. Whether you’re an employer, worker, property owner, or tenant, it’s always safest to contact trained professionals to properly assess and remediate a potentially contaminated space.

Our technicians follow a careful, step-by-step process to restore affected spaces to be clean and safe. We begin by removing gross contamination and any porous materials that have been affected, such as fabrics or soft furnishings. These items are catalogued, clearly marked as biohazardous waste, and packaged for proper disposal in accordance to local legislation. Next, all hard surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and degreased. We finish by fogging the area with a fine disinfectant mist, and apply odor control or sealants if needed. In some cases, contamination can reach beneath the surface into flooring, drywall, or structural materials. When that happens, we carefully remove those materials to ensure the space is fully decontaminated and safe to return to.

Failing to properly address biohazard contamination can result in ongoing health risks, legal liability, structural damage, and odours. For businesses and property owners, timely and professional remediation is essential to not only ensure compliance with legislation, but also to protect the safety of yourself, employees, and future occupants. If your property has been impacted by a biohazard event, contact Remedy Bio Recovery to schedule a consultation. Prompt intervention helps limit exposure, mitigate long-term damage, and restore the space to a safe, habitable condition.
