2. Walk the site
The team inspects the affected area and notes every surface the contamination touched. It explains what can be cleaned and what has to be removed.
3. Strip, scrub and sanitize
Porous materials that cannot be cleaned are cut away. The rest is scrubbed and sanitized in layers, so no spot is left to chance.
4. Deodorize and document
Odor sources are treated, not masked. The team photographs and records the work so insurers, landlords and families have what they need.

Biohazard Cleanup FAQs for Cortland and Cortland County
Can I clean up a biohazard myself?
It is not recommended. Bloodborne pathogens can survive on surfaces, and household products often miss germs that soaked into porous materials. Professional crews use PPE, sealed containers and disinfectants that match the hazard.
Are biohazard cleaning services available at night?
Yes. You can call Cortland Biohazard Cleanup Help 24/7, including nights and weekends. An emergency does not wait for office hours, and the team can start planning as soon as you describe the situation.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Who does biohazard cleanup?
Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
Does biohazard cleanup cover sewage backups?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so crews remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect the area and dry it when needed. A plumber fixes the pipe, and the cleanup team takes care of what the backup left behind.
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
