When a traumatic event occurs—whether it’s an unattended death, suicide, medical emergency, or serious injury—the aftermath can feel overwhelming. These situations require far more than cleaning. They require compassion, discretion, and specialized training to restore safety to a space that has been deeply impacted.
At Rush Relief Restoration, we provide professional biohazard and trauma cleanup throughout Redding, Anderson, Red Bluff, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, Palo Cedro, and surrounding Northern California communities. Our goal is simple: to bring calm, safety, and dignity back into a space when people need it most.

Why Trauma Cleanup Requires a Professional Team
Trauma scenes often involve dangerous contaminants such as blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazards. These materials can carry pathogens that pose serious health risks—and standard cleaning products aren’t enough to properly disinfect or remove them.
Professional cleanup isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
✔ IICRC-trained technicians✔ EPA-registered disinfectants✔ Proper containment, PPE, and waste disposal✔ Compassionate response and absolute discretion✔ Restoration of salvageable materials and full removal of harmful ones
Biohazard cleanup is heavily regulated, and our team follows all OSHA, EPA, and state guidelines to ensure your home or property is restored to the highest safety standards.

We use industry-standard remediation techniques to ensure:
Full disinfection
Odor neutralization (not masking)
Removal of contaminated materials
Deep cleaning of all affected surfaces and belongings
When we leave, the space will be safe, sanitized, and ready for use again.
