What families don’t understand about our work

When you experience a death, suicide, trauma or other biohazard related incident it is important to know the reasons why you should always hire a certified biohazard cleanup company like Bio Scene Clean Up.

Most people don’t understand when incidents occur it is not only traumatizing for the family members but a huge risk of contracting health compromising diseases from blood and other pathogens that are associated with a scene.  Most people believe that a biohazard scene can be cleaned using bleach and other household products and this is the main reason they don’t understand what we do and why it’s important.

Biohazards related to blood, bodily fluids and remains of a scene have to be cleaned using industrial grade chemicals, special equipment and techniques only known to trained or certified professionals.  Bio Scene Clean Up maintains certifications in biohazard cleanup, removal, waste disposal and other services areas that can ensure your trauma scene is restored to a healthy, inhabitable condition.

In most cases the full health details of a victim are not known. Every biohazard scene must be handled with extreme caution as though it contained infectious diseases or other pathogens that can be harmful or deadly to someone who is not trained to clean up biohazards.

If you or someone you know experiences a death, suicide or blood spill related trauma, contact our team of professionals for certified cleanup at once.  In most cases insurance companies will cover the cost of professional biohazard clean up and it is important that you know the facts about remaining safe when experiencing the responsibility of dealing with biohazard cleaning.

Death Cleanup Services Florida

Death, although a natural part of life, can be one of the most traumatic events in the life of a family member or loved one. Death can also be a potentially dangerous event for family members or loved ones because of the presence of biohazards.  Bio Scene Clean Up provides death cleanup services in Florida.

After death occurs the breakdown of the human body happens rapidly. At almost every death scene cleanup we perform there is the presence of blood and other bodily fluids and matter that can contain biohazards that may be extremely harmful to anyone that may come in contact. Blood, after leaving the body, will begin to dry and flake. Flakes can become airborne and may be easily ingested but others. Because you may not know the entire health scenario of the deceased, you have to handle the death cleanup process as though it contained potentially fatal biohazards.

When a death is discovered, or after authorities and medical personnel have left, whomever owns the property is usually responsible for the cleanup.  If you are untrained in biohazard handling and disposal, you put yourself and others at risk of contracting diseases or other microorganisms that can harm someone’s health.

Bio Scene Clean Up maintains all certifications and special equipment necessary to completely remediate a death scene  and return the site to a safe and biohazard free area.  We also maintain all of the required permits for proper handling and disposal of any materials or matter containing biohazards.  Frequently people attempt to cleanup blood and other trauma scenes themselves not realizing that these biohazards and organisms can survive outside of the human body for a long period of time. Inadequate cleanup can cause horrific odors, the presence of bugs and other harmful bacteria to appear sometimes weeks after the trauma occurred.

If you do not hire a professional death scene cleanup company like Bio Scene Clean Up, it may be very difficult to have these areas restored to a safe environment in the future. Because many of the biohazards are not visible to the human eye, it is often necessary to remove any materials that were in direct relation to the trauma. This may mean walls, flooring and other structures affected. The cost of cleanup after an inadequate cleaning is tremendous and most often the total costs become the responsibility of the property owner or family member.  Protect yourself and contact our office immediately for death scene cleanup assistance.

Florida Death Cleanup Services

Bio Scene Clean Up offers death and body decomposition (unattended death) cleaning in Tampa, Florida and surrounding cities. Bio Scene Technicians are experienced in removal, sanitizing, decontamination and deodorizing sites where deaths have occurred. 

Cleaning death scenes can be a difficult task but our technicians maintain the certifications and professional equipment necessary to perform death scene cleanup services in Florida.  Death sites that require professional biohazard cleanup are common in Florida, many of which are also unattended death scenes or sites where a death had been undiscovered for several days or weeks.

When a person dies and the heart stops pumping, the cells in the body begin to die from lack of oxygen and the decaying process immediately begins.  Death leads to rapid changes in the appearance of a body and the body can become unrecognizable in a very short time if not discovered.  After death the body will also release toxins and bacteria that create horrific odors and become airborne pathogens that are harmful to anyone coming into contact with them. These pathogens and bacteria are easily spread and are in most cases not visible to the human eye or an untrained person.  Improper cleanup practices can create potential health hazards in death scenes for weeks to even months after the death has occurred.

Because the risks of biohazard contamination are so high and the emotional trauma can be damaging to friends or family members of the deceased you should never attempt death scene cleanup on your own. Hire a professional company like Bio Scene Clean Up.  Our team can remediate the areas directly affected by the death scene with our certified biohazard cleaning techniques.  Our death scene cleanup services ensure that any health risks associated with blood or biohazards are eliminated. We guarantee all services.

Unattended Death Biohazard Cleanup

An unattended death can create a very problematic scene for medical professionals, police and even death clean up services like Bio Scene Clean Up.  It’s important to know that there is so much more to this type of scene than just removal of the body.

An unattended and / or decomposing body leaves not only visual, but microscopic trace elements of dangerous contaminants that can potentially be harmful, if not fatal to someone who comes in contact with them.  They can also create a very problematic scene for medical professionals, police and even death clean up services like Bio Scene Clean Up.

Handling this type of death scene requires a company that has extensive training in the proper procedures for death clean up, the use of OSHA approved chemicals and proper removal protocols of the scene’s debris.  To ensure your safety and that proper protocol is followed we never suggest attempting to clean a death scene yourself.  Bio Scene Clean Up is familiar with insurances processes and in most cases, insurance policies cover the costs of our services.

Here’s a simple list to follow if you discover an unattended death:

1. Call the police to report what you found and wait for their arrival.  Make certain that you obtain a business card from the investigating officer, you’ll need this information in the future.

2. When the coroner is contacted also make certain that you obtain a business card from this individual as well.

3. Call Bio Scene Clean Up immediately so we can schedule and dispatch a technician. The longer you delay in clean up. Depending on the length of time of death or state of decomposition, will determine the amount of time needed to restore the scene to a safe condition for you.

4. Please do not enter the scene and attempt to collect items. This will most likely lead to your becoming more traumatized than you may already be. A professional can retrieve items for you.

5. If you know the name of the insurance company and/or policy number, please have this information available if it is readily accessible. This will enable our technicians to reach out to you’re the insurance company and provide any information needed.

6. If you are not the property owner, business you’ll be asked to provide that information. In most cases a "Permission to Enter" form must be executed prior to the clean up process beginning.

7. DO NOT attempt to clean any areas of the scene. Contact with biohazards, such as blood and fluids, may expose you to risks that could result in death or serious illnesses. We are trained professionals skilled in restoring the environment to safe conditions for you.

Odor Removal from Death Scene Cleanup

We are frequently called to clean up after an unattended death or suicide and one of the very first questions we’re always asked is, “Can you get rid of this odor completely?”  The answer is yes however, several factors will determine the amount of time and work necessary to remediate these odors and return the scene to a clean, sanitary environment.

What we’ll need to know:

1.    Were did the death occur, and what elements are directly connected to the death scene?  For instance, did the person die in a bed, on a carpeted floor, in a bathtub or a car?  Death clean up requires decontamination of furniture, flooring, fabrics and virtually any porous surfaces related to the scene.  In certain cases, it may also be necessary to remove and replace walls, ceilings, sub-flooring and possibly insulation.

2.    How long has it been since the death occurred? If the death was an accident, suicide or an elderly person and not discovered immediately, the cleanup process is more entailed as most likely decomposition has started. We would need to follow specific cleaning processes using chemicals, antimicrobial cleaners and ozone or neutralizing agents. Ozone is commonly used in death cleanup because of it’s quick reaction to carbon based molecules associated with death odors. It’s a highly useful tool but not a guarantee that it will completely get rid of the odor.

At Bio Scene Clean Up, we take every measure to safe and effectively remediate these scenes with as minimal disruption as possible. Our cleanup technicians are trained to provide our clients with the emotional support needed during these types of tasks. The unattended death of a friend or loved one is never something that anyone is prepared to handle.

Hiring the proper cleanup company is difficult, after we analyze the scene, we provide a full plan of action and work directly with our clients through each step of the process.  Contact us today for more information about the services we offer.

Suicide Cleanup Tampa, FL

There are over one million suicides worldwide each year, each leaving behind at least 6 and often 10 or more survivors to deal with the aftermath. Bio Scene Clean Up provides death and suicide scene cleanup in Tampa, FL and surrounding areas.

About 45,000 suicides occur in the United States alone making that about one every 13 minutes. Statistics show that suicide will claim more lives than people who die from HIV or by homicides. Bio Scene Clean Up provides certified biohazard cleanup for death and suicide to assist survivors. After a suicide it’s the survivors of the victim that are responsible for the cleanup of the scene. Suicide scenes can cause extreme emotional distress on the survivors and present a wide array of biohazards that, if not properly cleaned up, can cause major health compromises and futuristic problems with odors, bugs and other unpleasant experiences causing the emotional turmoil to continue.

Suicide scene cleanup requires special protocols, equipment and industrial chemicals that are not available to ordinary consumers. Many of these cleanup protocols require special certifications which are necessary in our assuring clients that the scene will be returned to a safe, habitable state. Our team of dedicated professionals work discreetly with the survivors to help manage the traumatic experience, protect their health and safety and restore the scene as quickly as possible.

If you or someone you know face having to deal with the aftermath of a loved one’s suicide, please contact out staff immediately for professional suicide cleanup services.  Emergency personnel and investigators typically leave the cleanup details to the survivors.
