What Is Biohazard / Bloodborne Pathogen Cleanup?
A controlled, documented process to contain, remove, and disinfect blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) from affected surfaces and contents.
It includes PPE-protected work, regulated waste handling, hospital-grade disinfection, verification, and clear re-entry guidance. Our aim is safe, compliant restoration—not medical advice or scene investigation.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & training: Technicians trained on bloodborne pathogen exposure control, PPE use, and regulated waste packaging/transport coordination.
Full chain of custody: Photo documentation (respecting privacy), regulated medical waste manifests, and disposal through licensed partners.
Discreet & compassionate: Unmarked trucks upon request, minimal personnel, and respectful communication.
End-to-end help: Site stabilization, cleanup, odor control, and rebuild services if finishes require replacement.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Protect people and pets. Restrict access to the area; do not touch or move affected items.
Do not run HVAC across the area; close the room if possible.
Preserve scene directives. If law enforcement is involved, wait for release before cleanup.
Avoid DIY cleaning. Home products and improper handling can spread contamination.
Call our 24/7 dispatcher. We’ll secure the area and begin a compliant cleanup plan.

Containment & Protection
Set up barriers and clean corridors; protect registers/returns as needed to prevent aerosol spread; stage regulated waste containers.
Source Removal & Regulated Waste Handling
Carefully remove absorbent/porous materials that cannot be effectively disinfected; package and label regulated waste for licensed transport and disposal.

Pre-clean to remove organic load, then apply EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants with documented contact times; repeat on high-touch and adjacent surfaces.
Verification & Odor Control
Perform visual and odor checks; optional surface hygiene screening where applicable; remove barriers and restore normal airflow.

Disinfection: EPA-registered hospital-grade products with correct contact times; tools and equipment sanitized before removal.
Regulated waste: Proper packaging, labeling, storage, and manifested transport via licensed haulers; chain of custody maintained.
Privacy & respect: Minimal staff presence, unmarked vehicles on request, and sensitive documentation practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we clean this ourselves if it’s a small area?
We strongly advise against DIY cleanup of biohazards. Improper handling can increase exposure risk and create liability.
Do you coordinate with law enforcement?
Yes. We mobilize after scene release and follow any directives regarding evidence or restricted items.
Will you remove flooring or drywall?
Only when required for compliance and effective decontamination. We explain findings and offer rebuild options if removal is necessary.
How is waste handled?
All biohazardous materials are packaged, labeled, and transferred with regulated medical waste manifests through licensed transporters.
What about confidentiality?
We use discreet communication, limit photos to what’s necessary, and can arrive in unmarked vehicles upon request.
Is this covered by insurance?
Policies vary. We provide the documentation your carrier or risk team typically requires for review.
