SERVPRO® offers reliable biohazard cleanup services in Charlotte, Columbia, and surrounding areas, helping individuals and businesses recover safely from traumatic or hazardous events.
What Is Biohazard Cleanup?
Biohazard cleanup, also known as biohazard remediation, involves the removal and sanitization of areas contaminated with biological materials that pose health risks to humans. Common biohazard scenarios include:
- Blood or bodily fluids at crime scenes or trauma events
- Pathogens and contaminants from sewage backups
- Industrial chemical spills
- Animal remains or waste
- Hazardous materials related to hoarding situations
Each of these situations presents unique risks, and improper handling can lead to the spread of disease, contamination, or more significant damage to the property. Professional biohazard cleanup services ensure that these materials are safely removed and disposed of according to local and federal regulations.

The Biohazard Cleanup Process
SERVPRO Team Cox follows a systematic, step-by-step process to ensure that all biohazard cleanup jobs are completed safely, efficiently, and according to the highest standards.
- Initial Assessment and Safety Protocols
Our biohazard cleanup begins with a thorough assessment of the affected area. We identify the type and extent of the biohazardous materials present and determine the appropriate safety protocols to protect our team and the property’s occupants. Every biohazard situation is unique, so we customize our approach to address the specific hazards involved.
- Containment of the Area
To prevent the spread of contamination, we carefully contain the affected area. This may involve sealing off rooms, establishing physical barriers, or using negative air pressure systems to control the movement of contaminants. Containment is crucial in stopping cross-contamination and ensuring that biohazardous materials remain isolated until they can be safely removed.
- Removal of Hazardous Materials
Once the area is contained, we begin the removal of biohazardous materials. Our team uses specialized tools and follows stringent safety protocols to collect and bag all hazardous waste, ensuring that it is disposed of according to legal guidelines. This includes anything from blood and bodily fluids to contaminated furniture, carpets, or building materials.
- Deep Cleaning and Sanitization
After the hazardous materials are removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected area using hospital-grade cleaning agents and disinfectants. This step is crucial in eliminating any remaining pathogens or harmful bacteria. In cases of sewage backups or chemical spills, we also address any structural damage that may have occurred.
- Final Inspection and Restoration
After cleaning and disinfecting, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that the area is fully restored and safe for re-entry. In some cases, biohazard situations may result in structural damage, such as flooring, drywall, or carpeting that needs replacement. SERVPRO Team Cox offers full restoration services to repair any damage and bring your property back to its pre-incident condition.
