Let us handle the cleaning so that we can restore your space to its original, safe condition, and you can begin the healing process.

Our GBAC-certified technicians follow the highest cleaning standards to ensure your environment is safe and free of biohazardous materials. Suicide cleanups require special cleaning agents, personal protective equipment (PPE), and disposal methods to completely sanitize the affected area and keep you and your loved ones safe.

What is Biohazard Remediation?

Biohazard remediation involves the special removal and cleaning of bodily fluids such as blood and other hazardous materials following a crime, accident, death or other contamination. Biohazard remediation companies frequently respond to bloodborne pathogens. These hazardous materials can cause significant damage to those exposed, making the use of professional equipment and the proper methods even more imperative.

Suicide Statistics

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, leading to tens of thousands of premature deaths every year. Many different factors can increase someone’s risk of suicide, including social pressures, abuse, trauma, and genetics. While most common for those between the ages of 10 and 34, suicide can affect anyone.

Per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), here are some important statistics on suicide to know:

  • Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States.
  • Between 1999 and 2019, suicides increased by 33 percent.
  • In 2019, suicide claimed 47,500 lives.
  • That’s roughly 1 death every 11 minutes.
  • In 2019, 1.4 million Americans attempted suicide while roughly 12 million Americans seriously considered ending their lives.
  • Suicide rates are higher for veterans, those in rural areas, and young people in the LGBTQ community.

Never Attempt Unattended Death Cleanup on Your Own

In the wake of a suicide, cleaning the affected area should be the last thing on your mind. Attempting a cleanup on your own can also cause health risks and expose you to even more trauma and grief. There’s no reason to tackle this burden by yourself.

Here are just a few reasons why you should trust the trained professionals at Valor Technical Cleaning to handle the suicide cleanup instead of attempting the job yourself:

Health risks

Health risks

Attempting a suicide cleanup will expose you to harmful biological materials, such as bloodborne pathogens. The health risk is even more hazardous since many dangerous contaminants aren’t visible or apparent.

Proper safety equipment

Proper safety equipment

Most homeowners don’t have access to the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) needed to safely disinfect an area. Our team members use trusted PPE to protect themselves and others during the cleaning process.

Complete sanitization

Complete sanitization

many contaminants are invisible to the naked eye. By cleaning up blood and other biohazardous materials on your own, you may fail to completely sanitize the entire area. This opens you up to potential health risks. Our expert cleaners will completely sanitize your home and properly dispose of any hazardous materials.

Exposure to unnecessary trauma

cleaning up after a suicide can be traumatic and makes it more difficult to begin the healing process.

Hiring a Suicide Cleanup Company

Before hiring a suicide cleanup company, you should understand what’s involved in the process. Biohazard remediation and suicide cleanup requires science-based remediation techniques. These companies contain the affected areas while removing all traces of biological material and disinfecting and deodorizing the area to make it a safe and livable place once again.

 

Qualified suicide cleanup companies use ATP tests that measure cell activity to determine the safety of an area. These companies only consider their job finished once the test registers zero RLU (registered light units).

 

At Valor, we observe both OSHA and EPA regulations and use the highest-quality personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure everyone’s safety.
