Biohazard Cleanup in Baton Rouge: Meaning and Coverage

After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.

Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Any biological material capable of making people ill is a biohazard. For homes and businesses, that commonly includes:

  • Fresh or dried blood and bodily fluids
  • Decomposition after an unattended death
  • Urine, vomit and animal waste or human waste
  • Category 3 black water, including raw sewage
  • Needles, sharps and medical waste
  • Fentanyl, meth and residue from drug labs

First steps

What to Do First After a Death, Crime or Biohazard Spill in East Baton Rouge Parish

Most people only face this once. Following the right opening steps helps protect your health while preserving your claim and cleanup cost.

Call (888) 351-0904
  1. Contact 911 for any injury or death. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner or coroner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Keep away from the affected area. Close the door and keep children and pets away. Do not walk through blood or fluids.
  3. Do not attempt your own cleanup. Contamination spreads and stains become embedded in flooring and walls when household cleaning products are used.
  4. Call your insurance company. Tell your insurer about the loss, ask whether biohazard cleanup is covered and record your claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Tell the cleanup team about the event and all impacted rooms to help them prepare.
Step by step

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Greater Baton Rouge, Step by Step

The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Explain the situation. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    The odor source is treated using ozone, hydroxyl or air scrubbers, and the vents are also examined.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.

Health and safety

Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Baton Rouge Businesses and Homes

The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

Bloodborne Pathogens

HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.

Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough

Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.

Insurance and who pays

Does Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in Louisiana? Who Pays?

Frequently, yes. Many renters and homeowners policies cover biohazard cleanup after a sudden crime, death or sewage backup, with the deductible remaining your responsibility.

The Estate and the Deceased Person's Next of Kin

Death cleanup costs can often be covered by the estate. The executor or a family member usually takes care of this.

Responsibilities for Landlords and Property Owners in East Baton Rouge Parish

The property manager or owner commonly coordinates and funds cleanup for a rented unit or common area.

Homeowners and Renters Insurance for Biohazard Cleanup

Safety of Cleaning Up Your Own Biohazard Spill in Louisiana

You can clean a few fresh blood drops from a hard, non-porous surface. Put on disposable gloves, apply an EPA-registered disinfectant for the entire contact time, and seal the used cloths and gloves in a bag before discarding them.

For anything larger, the answer is no. Fluids that reached carpet, wood, drywall or a mattress need removal, not wiping, and the waste is regulated. Professional biohazard cleaners also spare families from cleaning the place where a loved one died.
