How Does Faeces & Urine Decontamination Work?
Our faeces and urine decontamination service follows a structured process, ensuring every detail is addressed for the health and safety of occupants.
Assessment: We inspect the property to evaluate the contamination level and identify all affected areas. This step may include using moisture meters to detect hidden moisture and infrared cameras to assess the spread.
Containment: Measures are implemented to prevent further spread of contaminants. PVC sheeting and negative air machines might be used to create a barrier and control air quality.
Cleaning: We remove waste materials using biohazard disposal bags and industrial cleaning agents. Surfaces are scrubbed to remove all visible residues.
Disinfection: We apply industry-standard disinfectants, such as quaternary ammonium compounds and hydrogen peroxide solutions, to eliminate pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.
Final Inspection: A thorough check ensures complete decontamination. ATP testing may be conducted to confirm surfaces are free from biological residues.
By adhering to these steps, we ensure the property is safely restored. If you need detailed information, contact us directly for expert guidance.
