Compassionate and Professional Trauma Scene Cleanup in Oregon
Tragic events—such as unattended deaths, suicides, serious accidents, or injuries—leave behind biological material that requires specialized cleaning and sanitization. Discovering or having to deal with the aftermath of a trauma is incredibly difficult. Our certified team approaches every trauma scene with the utmost discretion, respect, and compassion, allowing families and property managers to focus on emotional recovery, not physical cleanup.
What Scenes Require Professional Biohazard Trauma Cleanup?
While many people think of crime scenes, a trauma scene encompasses any event that results in the release of blood or bodily fluids. These scenes are often far more complex and dangerous than they appear due to potential pathogens, decomposition fluids, and strong odors.
Common Trauma Scenes We Handle:
- Unattended Death Cleanup: When a person passes away alone and the body is undiscovered for days or weeks, decomposition occurs, releasing biohazards and penetrating odors deep into the structure. This is often the most complex type of cleanup.
- Suicide Cleanup: These scenes are highly traumatic and require not only biohazard remediation but often sensitive cleaning and disposal of items related to the incident.
- Accidental Death or Injury Cleanup: Industrial accidents, domestic falls, or severe injuries resulting in significant blood loss.
- Hoarding and Biohazard Cleanup: Situations involving extreme filth, animal waste, and biological contamination that pose severe health risks.
Olimpia Biohazard and Restoration has the training, experience, and specialized equipment to safely restore the scene and fully eliminate all biohazards, ensuring the property is safe for future use.
Why is Unattended Death Cleanup More Difficult Than Standard Cleaning?
An unattended death presents unique challenges that are impossible to address with common cleaning tools or products.
When decomposition begins, bodily fluids and gases are released. Gravity pulls these fluids down, allowing them to:
- Penetrate: Seep through carpet, padding, and subflooring (often wood or concrete).
- Wick: Travel up wall cavities or behind baseboards.
- Odor: Create pungent, lingering odors that penetrate furniture and fabrics.
Our specialized process involves:
- Locating the Full Extent of Contamination: Using advanced detection tools, we identify all areas where fluids may have wicked or penetrated, which are often invisible.
- Structural Material Removal: We carefully remove and properly dispose of contaminated materials (subfloor sections, drywall, carpet, etc.).
- Encapsulation and Sealing: After deep cleaning and disinfection, surfaces may be treated with a specialized sealant (encapsulant) to lock down any microscopic biological matter or odor compounds that could not be physically removed, guaranteeing safety.
We provide this essential service across Portland, Corvallis, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Hillsboro, Beaverton, St. Johns, The Dalles, and surrounding areas, returning the property to a sanitary state.
