Situation
A Perth family called Unit444 when their elderly family member died. The person had not been discovered for several days. Upon entering the home with family members, it was evident that the home needed immediate and special attention.
The bedroom and the adjacent corridor were infected. The carpet and the floor were covered with biological material. A strong smell had already spread throughout the rooms. The furniture and skirting boards around the area were also contaminated.

The family was disturbed by the overwhelming situation. They were in tears and didn’t know what to do. This situation needs professional biohazard trauma services by trained personnel who know the technical and emotional aspects of the trauma and biohazard cleaning.
One family member did an internet search and came across Unit444, a team that specialized in biohazard trauma and crime scene cleaning in Perth. They placed the call, and Unit444 responded the same day.
The Unit444 Trauma and Biohazard Cleaning Process
All work at Unit444 is done in a step-by-step, systematic way. Every job is different, and it starts with a detailed analysis and only ends when the client is satisfied with the result. The following was done to restore the Perth property safely and professionally.
Step 01: Initial Contact and Compassionate Assessment
The family called Unit444 and discussed their problem. The crew realized it was not only a cleaning task but also a highly emotional moment for them. Once Unit444 had gathered the information, an immediate visit to the site was arranged.
An on-site assessment was conducted that included:
- The entire room was covered with biological contamination.
- The kind of surfaces involved: carpet, hardwood floors, walls, and furniture.
- The intensity of the odour and its extent of dispersion.
- Any additional contamination in nearby areas.
A detailed restoration plan was prepared on the spot. The family was provided with a complete explanation of what would need to be done to clean the property. They did not have to be there during the cleaning because the team handled everything on their own.
Step 02: Site Containment and PPE Setup
Before the cleaning operation began, the Unit444 team set up a barrier around the contaminated areas. This included sealing doorways and vents to keep contaminated air and particles away from the unaffected areas of the house.
Each member of the crew wore proper personal protective equipment before entering the affected area. This consisted of full-body protective clothing, gloves, respirators, and eye protection. In biohazard trauma & crime scene cleaning, proper PPE is not optional. It is essential for crew safety and for the safe handling of hazardous biological material.
Step 03: The removal of biological material and safe disposal procedures
The biological material removal is one of the most crucial aspects of the entire trauma and biohazard cleaning service. The Unit444 team thoroughly cleaned all contaminated surfaces. This included saturated carpet and carpet padding, which was removed and disposed of in biohazard bags.
Waste disposal was carefully handled in accordance with the WA health and safety guidelines
for biohazard waste. No biohazard material was directly placed into the general rubbish. Every contaminated item was treated as a health risk and disposed of responsibly. The team worked discreetly and respectfully throughout the process. They treated everything with compassion because they knew that it was someone’s house, full of memories.
Some personal belongings were carefully separated. The family could then decide what they wanted to keep from his belongings
Step 04: Full sanitisation and deep cleaning of the area.
The deep cleaning started after the contaminated materials were removed. Carpet, walls, skirting boards, furniture, and the subfloor under the carpet were all cleaned with hospital-grade cleaning products and specialist equipment.
That’s where the professional biohazard trauma services come into play. Biological contamination can be more than what is visible to the naked eye. Porous surfaces may be able to trap bacteria, pathogens, and bloodborne material in the pores. Unit444 technicians are trained to locate and repair these secret pollutants and make the property safe and sanitary
Step 05: Odour Neutralisation and Air Treatment is
One of the most upsetting parts of an unsupervised death is the smell that spreads all over the building. Decomposition smells can penetrate deep into floor materials and ventilation spaces if not professionally treated. In these circumstances, standard air fresheners and surface sprays won’t work. The only way to completely remove the odour is to undergo professional treatment.
The Unit444 team neutralised the odour at its source by using industrial-grade deodorising agents and air purification equipment. All affected surfaces, subfloors, and surrounding air were professionally treated. At the end of the process, the air in the house was fresh and odourless.
Step 06 – Final Inspection and Handover
Once cleaning, sanitisation, and odour treatment were finished, the Unit444 team conducted the final inspection. All affected areas and surfaces were thoroughly inspected to verify that all contamination issues were resolved.
A written report detailing all work done was given to the family, and they were asked to examine the property themselves. The results were better than what was expected. Throughout the whole process, the team showed fast, sensitive, and professional behaviour, which impressed the landlord. The place now was clean, safe, and ready for its next use.
FAQs
Why can’t a regular cleaner handle an unattended death scene?
Regular cleaners do not have the proper training, equipment or experience required for biohazard situations. Unattended death scenes can contain harmful biological contaminants, including bloodborne pathogens and bacteria. Specialist biohazard trauma and crime scene cleaning teams are trained to safely restore the property to a hygienic condition, not simply make it look clean.
How quickly can Unit444 respond to a trauma or biohazard situation?
Unit444 understands that these situations are highly time-sensitive. In many cases, the team can arrange a same-day or next-day site visit and provide support to families as early as possible.
Does insurance cover biohazard and trauma clean-ups?
In many cases, yes. Costs associated with biohazard trauma services after an unattended death or crime scene may be covered under home insurance or landlord insurance. Unit444 also provides detailed documentation of all completed work to assist with insurance claims.
Will the property be safe to enter after cleaning?
Yes. Once the entire cleaning, sanitisation and odour removal process has been completed, the property is safe to enter. The Unit444 team does not sign off on any project until all affected areas meet proper health and safety standards.
