Every job follows the same order. Assess the area, contain it, remove contaminated and hazardous materials, disinfect, treat odor and dispose of the waste under the rules. Crews are available 24/7 in Sunset Hill and throughout King County.
Renters live in about 56% of homes in Seattle, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. King County has a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA. Wherever floodwater or a sewer backup reaches a home, the water is treated as Category 3 and needs full cleanup.
Protective equipment is the first thing a crew puts on and the last thing it takes off. Respirators, gloves, face protection and disposable suits keep technicians safe, and OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) is the guide for how it is used.
Odor is treated at its source, not covered up. HEPA filtration, hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment work on the air and on the surfaces, and ATP testing can show whether the cleaned area meets the standard before the property is released.
