Biohazard Cleanup Costs Explained: Insights from TACT48

What Does Biohazard Cleanup Cost?

The cost to clean up a biohazard can vary widely, depending on what kind of situation it is and how severe the contamination is.

Factors That Affect the Cost

•        Severity & Type of Contamination: More dangerous biohazards require more protective gear, stronger disinfectants, and more time.
•         Size of the Affected Area: Bigger spaces or areas that require demolition (like carpet or subfloor) will cost more.
•         Time Since Incident: If the biohazard has been sitting for a long time (e.g., in an unattended death), decomposition or deep contamination can make cleanup more complex.
•         Waste Disposal: Disposing of biohazardous materials safely (into biohazard containers, etc.) adds to the cost.

With these factors in mind, a typical biohazard cleanup could cost a few thousand dollars, but in more complicated or high-risk scenarios, it could reach $10,000+.  The exact price depends a lot on the type and extent of contamination, time it takes to remediate, and the amount of materials used. Many property insurance policies cover biohazard cleanup leaving only the deductible as the responsibility of the property owner.
