Biohazard cleanup is the professional removal, cleaning and disinfection of blood, bodily fluids, decomposition, sewage and other infectious materials after a death, crime, accident or illness. In Huning Castle, you can get this local biohazard cleaning for homes, apartments, rental properties, churches, businesses and vehicles.
Teams do the heavy lifting: removing carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be cleaned, bagging regulated waste, disinfecting hard surfaces and treating odor at the source. The service area runs from Huning Castle to Raynolds Addition, Downtown and Albuquerque.
Vacancy in Albuquerque is lower than the New Mexico average, at 6%, so most cleanups happen in occupied homes where families want the work done privately and with care. Census data puts older adults living alone in Albuquerque at 36%. Regular check-ins from relatives and neighbors help, and cleanup support is a phone call away if the worst happens.
Decontamination starts with protecting people. Crews suit up in PPE, set up barriers so contaminants cannot drift into clean rooms, and work to OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols (29 CFR 1910.1030) from the first step to the last.
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.
