Safe and Compliant Biohazard Remediation

Biohazardous materials, such as blood or bodily fluids, can carry pathogens like HIV or E. coli. Attempting cleanup without proper training or equipment is hazardous. Aftermath Services’s professionals use industry-standard tools and adhere to Delaware’s environmental and health regulations, ensuring safe handling and disposal at approved facilities. This is critical in Delaware, where coastal properties and historic homes in places like Old New Castle require careful remediation to prevent contamination.

Our Proven Process

1. Initial Contact

Our dispatchers can gather incident details from you 24/7, schedule a same-day appointment with Wilmington-based supervisors, and confirm logistics for a swift response across Delaware’s urban and coastal areas.

2. Pre-Arrival Communication

Our supervisor confirms arrival details, ensures discreet entry, offers to pick up small items like food, and coordinates with property managers for commercial sites in areas like Dover.

3. On-Site Assessment and Touchpoint Process

We meet you on-site to discuss priorities, document the scene for Delaware insurance and VCAP claims using tools like DocuSketch, and present a tailored scope of work considering historic homes or beachfront properties, with options for cost or time constraints.

4. Remediation Work

We set up containment with plastic barriers and HEPA air scrubbers, remove contaminated materials per state disposal laws, apply a three-step disinfection process (clean, rinse, disinfect with Procure V), and neutralize odors with Procure G, tailored for Delaware’s coastal properties.

5. Final Walkthrough and Sign-Off

We review completed work, note pre-existing conditions (e.g., wear in historic homes), provide insurance and VCAP documentation with timesheets and surveys, and offer recommendations like repainting or HVAC cleaning for coastal properties.

6. Wrap-Up and Follow-Up

We clean the site, submit insurance and VCAP invoices, and ensure your property is safe, clean, and odor-free, leaving you satisfied in Delaware’s diverse communities.

Crime Victim Funding

Delaware’s Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP), administered by the Delaware Department of Justice, provides financial assistance to victims of violent crimes for expenses like medical costs, counseling, lost wages, and funeral expenses. Eligible victims can apply through the VCAP website. Aftermath Services works closely with insurance providers to streamline claims, ensuring minimal financial burden. Coverage may include cleanup costs, with clients responsible only for deductibles if insured. We also assist with alternative payment options or third-party funding if VCAP or insurance is unavailable.
