Biohazard Cleanup and Restoration

SERVPRO of North Sarasota is trained to safely remove biohazards and dispose of them properly in accordance with OSHA and health regulations.

Equipped with the necessary safety apparatus and cleaning products, we can help transform these unhealthy environments back into clean, safe homes and offices.

An unexpected loss is not something a family can prepare for emotionally, and it comes with some difficult realities in cleaning up the affected areas. It’s not safe to simply scrub floors or throw away items that have been affected — there’s more to it than just cleaning.

When a person dies, the natural process of decomposition begins relatively quickly, and potentially harmful bacteria are released into the affected area. Bacteria are responsible for the odor of body decomposition. It is also important to note that:

  • Any porous material, including wood, carpet, drywall, or concrete, will absorb body fluids. As a result, you should never attempt to clean porous materials. A bioremediation company can properly dispose of these items for you.
  • Depending on the deceased individual’s health condition, there is potential to come in contact with bloodborne pathogens.
  • While decomposition is perfectly normal, traditional home cleaning solutions are not sufficient to safely clean, sanitize and disinfect areas affected by human decomposition.
  • Even the smallest amount of biological material left untreated can make a residence unlivable.

Common Biohazard Scenarios

Sewage Backups

Sewage backups and dark water intrusions are more than nasty, smelly deposits – these damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into a structure. We remove the sewage, contaminants, and moisture, and help ensure the structure is properly cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.

Bloodborne Pathogens

We remove and dispose of bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially pathogenic substances resulting from accident, trauma, crime or death. Trained SERVPRO of Sarasota Professionals clean, disinfect and deodorize the structure.

Illegal Drug Manufacturing Labs / Meth Labs

SERVPRO realizes many of the chemicals used in the production of illegal drugs such as "meth" are volatile and can leave harmful residues throughout a structure. We follow federal and state guidelines to properly clean all surfaces.
