Take a Breath — You Are Not Alone

A trauma or biohazard event in your home is overwhelming. Before anything else, know that you do not have to handle the aftermath yourself. There are trained, compassionate professionals in Miami-Dade County who can take over the cleanup so you and your family can focus on each other.

Step 1: Make Sure Everyone Is Safe

If anyone is injured or in danger, call 911 immediately. Do not attempt to clean up blood or bodily fluids before first responders have finished their work and the scene is released.

Step 2: Do Not Touch the Affected Area

Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Avoid the area entirely. Do not try to wipe, mop, or disinfect the spill yourself — household cleaners are not designed for biohazard remediation and can spread contamination further.

Step 3: Limit Access

Close the door to the affected room and keep children, pets, and visitors away. The smaller the contaminated area stays, the faster and more affordable the remediation will be.

Step 4: Call a Certified Biohazard Cleanup Team

Florida law does not require families to clean up a trauma scene themselves — and most homeowners' insurance policies cover professional remediation. A certified team like 911 Bio Cleaning will:

• Arrive within the hour, in unmarked vehicles for your privacy
• Remove and properly dispose of all biohazardous materials
• Disinfect the structure down to the subfloor if needed
• Deodorize and restore the space so it is safe to re-enter

Step 5: Let Us Handle the Insurance

In most cases, you pay $0 out of pocket. We document the scene, bill your homeowner's or renter's insurance directly, and coordinate with your adjuster so you don't have to.

You Don't Have to Be There

Many families prefer not to be present during cleanup. We can coordinate with a trusted friend, property manager, or first responder to access the home. Your privacy and peace of mind come first.
