Contamination Restoration & Remediation​

Cleaning Infectious Disease

Every infectious disease case is a biohazard situation, and every biohazard situation can include infectious disease

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?
