A biohazard cleaner deals with what regular cleaners will not touch: blood, decomposition, human waste and infectious materials. Lakewood homeowners, tenants, landlords and business owners can get discreet biohazard cleanup services by calling Lakewood Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Biohazard cleaners provide emergency response 24/7 in unmarked vehicles. Cleanup technicians contain the affected areas, remove contaminated and hazardous materials, disinfect every surface and haul the biohazardous waste away. Crews serve Lakewood, West Pleasant View, Golden and the rest of Jefferson County.
Renters live in about 42% of homes in Lakewood, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. The census figure for older adults living alone in Lakewood is 34%, above the Colorado average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows.
Professional biohazard cleanup, remediation and decontamination services follow the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). Technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators, gloves and disposable suits, and treat all blood and bodily fluids as potentially infectious materials that can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
Real decontamination reaches what the eye cannot see. Fluids travel under flooring and into baseboards, so crews check beneath and behind surfaces, remove affected materials and disinfect the exposed area before odor treatment begins.

Porous materials are removed, surfaces are scrubbed and disinfected, and tools are cleaned between steps so germs are not carried to other rooms.

Attics, barns and sheds can hold droppings, guano and carcasses that carry disease. Careful removal and disinfection protect the people who go back in.
With a vacancy rate of 5% in Lakewood, empty buildings can collect animal waste, drug paraphernalia and storm damage that nobody sees until later.
Homes, churches and businesses may need infectious disease disinfection, needle and sharps cleanup, or meth lab and fentanyl decontamination after a property is released.
Hoarder homes can hide rotting food, animal waste, mold and pests, along with fire and structural hazards. Hoarding cleanup sorts belongings and restores a livable condition.
About 56% of homes in Lakewood were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and trim hold fluids deeper, which can mean more material to remove.
Failing septic systems and sewer backups push raw sewage, a Category 3 biohazard, into homes. Sewage cleanup removes contaminated materials and disinfects every surface.
Health risks vary by material. Blood and bodily fluids bring bloodborne pathogens, decomposition brings bacteria and odor, and waste and residue bring their own dangers. Job size then sets the scale of the response.
A few drops from a small cut can sometimes be cleaned up by a careful person wearing gloves, with disinfectant on hard surfaces. Larger amounts, anything on porous materials, or fluids from another person are best left to a cleanup crew.
Only what cannot be made safe. Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstered furniture that soaked up fluids are usually removed. Hard surfaces and many belongings can be cleaned and disinfected instead.
Most biohazard clean up jobs take one to three days. A small blood spill can be finished in a few hours, while an unattended death with decomposition, a hoarder house or a meth lab can take a week or longer.
Call 911 if anyone is in danger. Keep everyone out of the affected area, do not clean anything, and wait for law enforcement to release the scene. Then call your insurance company and a biohazard cleaning company to plan the cleanup.
