What Happens During Biohazard Decontamination in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, PA

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. Set up the work zone

The crew isolates the affected rooms and limits airflow so germs do not travel. Waste containers and cleaning supplies are staged inside the zone.

3. Take out, scrub down

Contaminated items leave in sealed bags, and the remaining surfaces are scrubbed. This clears the film that can protect germs.

4. Disinfect and check

A disinfectant matched to the germs stays wet for its labeled contact time. The team treats odor, inspects each surface and explains the result.
