When a call comes in for a restoration or remediation job, the team suits up and prepares the truck. But what happens when the job falls outside of the usual parameters? It’s not uncommon for property managers or homeowners to call restoration or cleanup companies for a wide host of jobs, including water, mold and fire and property damage cases. However, once the details of a case fall into the realm of biohazard and infectious disease cleanup, the requirements of the job change.

A biohazard or infectious disease case requires more than a typical cleaning. If an illness is particularly infectious, a professional biohazard remediation company is trained to protect themselves and others from further exposure. A host of procedures and specially designed cleaning agents must be used to quickly and effectively stop the spread of the pathogen. In the age of “super bugs,” extreme caution is necessary to protect the continued health of a population.
