When to Hire a Professional 

You should hire a professional for situations involving: 

• Traumatic events such as suicides, homicides, or unattended natural deaths.
• Sewage backups and spills.
• Large amounts of blood or other bodily fluids.
• Animal waste or decomposition (e.g., rodent infestations).
• Hoarding situations that involve biohazardous materials.
• Contamination from communicable diseases or chemical hazards (e.g., fentanyl residue, meth labs). 

 

Why You Shouldn't Clean It Yourself 

Cleaning biohazards requires more than just surface cleaning. Improper cleanup can lead to: 

• Exposure to dangerous pathogens like HIV, tuberculosis, or pneumonia.
• Incomplete sanitation, leaving hazardous residues behind.
• Long-term structural damage to your home from unaddressed contamination.
• Improper disposal of hazardous waste, which is subject to strict local, state, and federal regulations. 

 

The Professional Cleaning Process 

Professionals follow a meticulous, multi-step process that adheres to safety guidelines set by organizations like OSHA, the EPA, and the CDC: 

• Assessment Technicians inspect the area to determine the scope of contamination and necessary safety precautions.
• Containment & Safety The affected zone is sealed off using barriers and negative air machines to prevent cross-contamination.
• Removal of Materials All biohazardous waste, including porous materials like carpeting or drywall that cannot be fully sanitized, is carefully removed.
• Cleaning & Disinfection The area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected using hospital-grade, EPA-registered cleaning agents.
• Deodorization Specialized equipment like air scrubbers or hydroxyl generators are used to neutralize and remove persistent odors.
• Disposal of Waste All biohazardous waste is legally disposed of at a state-approved facility.
• Restoration & Repairs Damaged structural materials are repaired or replaced to return the property to a safe, livable condition. 

 

Cost and Insurance  The cost for professional biohazard cleanup varies widely based on the severity and scope of the damage, typically ranging from a few hundred dollars for minor issues to several thousand for large-scale incidents. 

Many homeowner's insurance policies may cover the cost of biohazard cleanup, especially if the event was sudden and accidental (e.g., a covered crime or sewage backup).

Professionals often work directly with your insurer to document the process and facilitate the claims.
