How Biohazard Decontamination Works in West University Place, TX

1. Identify the germs of concern

Blood, sewage, animal waste and infectious illness each call for different products. The crew chooses a disinfectant whose label fits the situation.

2. Contain and protect

Crew members put on protective gear for skin, eyes and lungs. The work area is closed off, and people and pets are kept out.

3. Remove, then clean

Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.

4. Final walk-through

The crew goes through the space with the owner and explains what was done. Waste leaves in sealed containers, and questions get plain answers.
