Non-porous materials are sanitized on-site. Porous items (carpet padding, unsealed drywall) deeply saturated by biological fluids are safely removed and contained.
We utilize EPA-registered broad-spectrum disinfectants specifically formulated for biological decontamination and pathogen neutralization.
Project duration ranges from a few hours for localized surface cleanup to several days for extensive multi-room decomposition or hoarding remediation.

The 4-step workflow involves: 1. Assessment, 2. Containment & Plan, 3. Decontamination & Fluid Removal, and 4. Odor Neutralization & Handoff.
