Decontamination and Disinfection

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, continues to be a serious concern across the country and around the world. Taking appropriate preventative measures against the virus is critical to containment. Reducing the spread is also necessary to keeping our medical facilities from becoming overburdened with too many cases and not enough space, equipment or staff to provide adequate care.

Understanding the Spread of COVID-19

COVID-19 is the disease caused by the coronavirus. It is highly contagious due to the nature of transmission. An individual who is asymptomatic is still contagious. This includes those who eventually develop symptoms as well as those who never do or whose symptoms are so mild that they might not know they have the virus.

These symptoms are common to a number of other respiratory and viral illnesses. Professional disinfection services protect the people in homes, at work and in care facilities from any of these illnesses. Doing so further relieves the burden on the health care industry.

The primary means of spread is through the air. When people who are infected with the virus talk, sing, exercise, cough or sneeze, they shed the coronavirus in respiratory droplets. These droplets can travel up to approximately six feet, sometimes more, and can remain airborne for several hours. The first line of defense is to follow CDC protocols to avoid contact with airborne droplets: establish a distance of at least six feet between you and others, wear a mask and cover coughs and sneezes.

Understanding Disinfection and Decontamination Services

Currently, no antimicrobial exists that has been EPA tested for effectiveness in killing SARS-CoV-2. However, the agency has established a list of approved products that were developed for viruses similar to the coronavirus. United Water Restoration Group uses only the most powerful professional-grade disinfectants recommended by the EPA.

Surface Disinfection and Decontamination

The first step in our process is to use an antimicrobial fogging machine to treat an entire area with a professional grade, EPA-approved disinfectant.
