Portland’s #1 Biohazard Cleanup Company

The largest city in Oregon, Portland is home to over 650,000 citizens as of 2020. The Portland metropolitan statistical area is home to 2.5 million people, which makes up about half of Oregon’s entire population. In Portland, the first responders consist of the city’s Fire & Rescue department, the Portland Police Bureau, and Portland Street Response, which focuses on mental and behavioral health crises.

Consistent with other large, major cities, Portland’s violent crimes are highly concentrated in certain areas, including the Downtown & Hazelwood neighborhoods. Even so, violent crimes are not uncommon city-wide. Violent or otherwise, any crime may result in blood, bodily fluids, or other biohazards contaminating your residence or commercial property. That’s where we come in – call (503) 461-4083 to contact the crime scene and biohazard cleanup professionals at BioteamOR and talk with our support team. We serve all of Western Oregon, including Beaverton, Eugene, Gresham, Hillsboro, Salem, and many other cities.

How BioteamOR Can Help You

We understand that dealing with the aftermath of traumatic events can be incredibly challenging, and the additional tasks of cleaning and managing insurance can be overwhelming. Our team is here to help alleviate your stress. We conduct thorough testing before and after cleaning, assist with document retrieval, and provide full support throughout the insurance claims process. By entrusting these responsibilities to us, you can focus on healing and recovery, knowing that we have your back every step of the way.

Bacteria & Germ Testing

Just because something looks clean doesn’t mean that it is. Our technicians at BioteamOR perform ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) tests at the start and end of our remediation service. The ATP test allows us to measure the presence of actively growing odor-causing microorganisms (bacteria). This helps us assess the extent of biohazard impact in the affected property.

Personal Property List

Items that have been in contact with bodily fluids and are porous or semi-porous must undergo appropriate treatment. In most cases, these items will need to be disposed of at an approved biohazardous waste treatment facility. Providing photographic evidence along with this documentation is crucial to calculate the loss of these items, especially when presenting a claim to your insurance company. Depending on your policy, your insurance company may offer replacement or reimbursement for some of the affected belongings.

Document Retrieval

Paper is very absorbent. If it has been directly impacted with blood or other potentially infectious materials, it must be transported to an approved medical waste facility for destruction. If we find that any important documents have been directly damaged with biohazard, the senior technician will explain the procedures required in order to salvage as much information from the documents as possible.

Post-Remediation Evaluation

We strive for excellence and adhere to the highest standards in our work. If requested, we are happy to provide a post-remediation certification to you, property management, or your insurance company. This certification serves as proof that the property has undergone thorough evaluation and is deemed safe for occupancy after our meticulous assessment and remediation process. Our aim is to provide you with the assurance and peace of mind that the property is ready for your return.

Crime Scene Cleanup in Portland, OR

While violent crimes usually result in the presence of blood or other bodily fluids, even non-violent crimes may present hazards. Property crimes and other non-violent crimes often leave messes that call for thorough, specialized cleanup. Utilizing full PPE and properly disposing of any waste, our cleanup technicians follow every safety precaution and protocol. Once the scene is cleared by the first responders (Portland’s Fire & Rescue and Police Bureau), we will begin our work.

Prior to any cleanup service, we perform a free hazard assessment of the contamination site and develop a comprehensive plan of action to contain and treat the impacted area. Once a plan is made, our technicians proceed to remove the contamination source and any contaminated items such as flooring, drywall, and certain personal items. Our technicians then disinfect the area using EPA-approved chemicals on all non-porous items and surfaces. We will make our best effort to save any personal items, however, porous items must be taken and destroyed at an approved biohazardous waste treatment plant per the rules set out by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

Biohazard Remediation Services in Portland

Our team consists of claims specialists, and an attorney to assist you with all needs that may arise from beginning to end. We are available 24/7/365.

Unattended Death Cleanup

Even with Portland being the most populated city in Oregon, unattended deaths can still occur in places such as a person’s home, car, or other location. If the body is left undiscovered for an extended length of time, various health hazards and bacteria will develop as the remains begin the decomposition process.

Blood Cleanup

Violent crimes, car accidents, or even workplace injuries are just a few potential causes of blood contamination. Any major blood spill may pose health risks due to potential exposure to deadly bloodborne pathogens. If blood is spilled on your property, contact our professional biohazard remediation team for help.

Specialty Cleanup

Crime scenes and accidents can often lead to secondary health hazards beyond the initial site of contamination, including mold and water damage. We offer several other biohazard cleanup services including Hoarding Cleanup, Vehicle Cleanup, and Water Damage Cleanup.
