Property owners and managers know that unexpected situations can arise in their buildings: water damage, mold, fire cleanup. None are easy, but most are relatively straightforward and familiar. Some circumstances, though, call for a very different level of care.
When a resident passes away alone, or when an accident or crime occurs on-site, the aftermath often requires specialized biohazard cleanup. These are moments that can be both logistically complex and emotionally difficult. Beyond the practical need to restore a space, there’s a responsibility to ensure the process is handled with compassion and respect.
Biohazard cleanup covers more than many people realize. It can include material from decomposition after an unattended death, blood or bodily fluids left at a scene, or even something as common, yet hazardous, as extensive rodent or bird droppings. Outbreaks of viral pathogens also fall into this category. Thankfully they are rare, but COVID served as a powerful reminder of how critical thorough cleaning and safe practices can be.
Because of the health risks involved, these situations should always be managed by trained professionals with the proper equipment and expertise. Just as important is finding a team who can respond quickly and respectfully, helping property managers navigate circumstances no one ever wants to encounter.
