Does Forensic Restoration Have Different Stages Or Risks Associated?
Stepping into the world of forensic restoration reveals a meticulous science that transforms contaminated spaces into areas safe enough for a daycare. Chad Mallonee, owner of Hazard Clean Restoration, pulls back the curtain on this specialized field where each call presents unique challenges—from crime scenes and trauma sites to drug labs, infectious disease outbreaks, and unattended deaths.
The conversation unveils the five distinct bio-risk levels that guide restoration professionals in their work. A level one scenario might involve biological materials contained in a small room, while higher levels present increasingly complex hazards requiring more intensive protocols. What remains consistent is the methodical approach: thorough site assessment, appropriate protective equipment (including powered respirators and multiple layers of hospital-grade gloves), and specialized techniques tailored to each situation.
Most fascinating is how this field continuously evolves alongside scientific advancement. Much like surgical practices have transformed over decades while maintaining the same objectives, forensic restoration adapts to new threats and technologies. The verification process stands as the cornerstone of this work—scientific testing that confirms harmful substances have been neutralized or removed completely. This quantifiable before-and-after comparison provides concrete evidence that spaces have been returned to safety standards that would allow any activity to resume without risk. Through this rigorous, science-driven approach, restoration professionals like Melanie don't just clean up after life's most challenging moments—they restore safety, peace of mind, and the possibility for new beginnings.
