Keeping Your Facility Safe During COVID-19

Our employees have years of experience and certifications in healthcare construction, facilities maintenance, biological remediation, and janitorial. We have long history of working closely with infection preventionists, industrial hygienists, and physicians and our processes have a strong emphasis on infection prevention and patient and caregiver safety, and public safety.  We provide services from Blaine, WA through Seattle.  We can provide COVID-19 decontamination services in all types of facilities - retail, food service, offices, and healthcare facilities. 

• Many of our employees have healthcare construction worker certifications through ASHE and have attended various infection prevention seminars. 
• Many of our employees are fit tested for full face respirator use and can work in hazardous environments that require that level of PPE. 

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, we want to ensure that you are able to maintain your healthcare facility in the safest manner possible. We offer a variety of services that may be of specific need during this time.

Understanding Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sanitizing 

Cleaning does not kill bacteria, viruses, or fungi more commonly referred to as “germs”. Instead cleaning is done to remove “germs” usually by combining water, a cleaning product, and scrubbing. Though cleaning does not kill ‘germs’ it is still a vital step in the deep cleaning process as removal of dirt and debris can make way for products and methods that do kill ‘germs’ to be more efficacious.

Disinfecting and sanitizing methods on the other hand refer to products that work by killing germs. These processes do not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection. Sanitizers reduce bacteria on a surface by at least 99.9%.

Conversely disinfectants kill a wider range of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold. These methods work great on all surfaces like natural stone including marble, granite, and limestone; upholstery, fabrics, and drapes; and carpets and area rugs on hard non-porous surfaces like stainless steel and the components of your HVAC system.

We offer:

• Full facility decontamination following EPA guidelines, specifically the rules and references which match the appropriate remediation chemical to the contaminant. We can fog your facility with EPA registered chemicals specifically approved to kill coronaviruses AND flu. This chemical is non-toxic and biodegradable, with no ammonias, chlorine, or glutaraldehydes. It falls into an EPA category that requires no Signal Word, Precautionary Statements or First Aid Statements on product label. 
• If you need additional janitorial services to keep up with additional spot decontamination demands, we can supply highly trained janitorial staff. Our staff are trained to clean all healthcare facilities up to and including terminal cleaning ORs. They are highly familiar with working in biohazard environments.
• We can provide spot checks for ventilation pressure differential requirements – focusing on verifying positive and negative air pressure relationships.
• Temporary emergency containment installation and construction, with HEPA filtered fans.
• With the increased focus on respiratory illnesses, we can provide rapid DNA sequencing testing for Legionella Pneumophila which provides results within 1 hour of testing.
• Also in concern to respiratory illnesses, we are certified to do mold inspection and remediation. Sampling and identification can be done upon request.
• We are extremely familiar with healthcare setting requirement such as ICRA and PCRA needs.
