Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who is responsible for calling biohazard cleanup?
The person responsible for the property is typically the one who should arrange cleanup. This may be a homeowner, landlord, business manager, or in some cases, a public agency. Calling trained professionals ensures the biohazard is removed safely and the space is restored to a healthy condition.
Can I use regular cleaning supplies to clean up blood or other fluids?
No. Household cleaners are not strong enough to eliminate dangerous pathogens or fully sanitize an area contaminated by blood or bodily fluids. Attempting cleanup without the right equipment can actually spread contamination and increase the risk of exposure. Professional biohazard cleanup ensures the space is safe and restored properly.
How quickly should biohazard cleanup happen?
Cleanup should begin as soon as possible. Blood and other biological fluids break down quickly, which can increase health risks, cause strong odors, and lead to property damage. A prompt response not only protects safety but can also reduce long-term costs and restore the space more quickly.
Will insurance cover the cost of biohazard cleanup?
In many cases, yes. Most homeowner’s and property insurance policies include coverage for biohazard cleanup. Our team works directly with insurance companies to handle billing and guide you through the claims process from start to finish, helping reduce stress during a difficult time.
Will my property be safe to return to after cleanup?
Yes. Once our team completes the process, the area is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and tested to ensure it meets safety standards. We also provide documentation upon request, giving you peace of mind that your property is fully restored and safe to use again.
How long does the biohazard cleanup process take?
Most cleanups are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the size of the area and the level of contamination. After our initial assessment, we’ll provide you with a clear timeline so you know what to expect every step of the way.
