Our Process

  4. 4

    Disinfection and Decontamination

    We use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants to thoroughly clean and sanitize all surfaces, coupled with ATP surface testing to ensure that decontamination is complete and effective.

    A final inspection by our certified biohazard technicians confirms that the area is safe for reoccupancy. We provide documentation for personal records and insurance purposes.
