Biohazard Cleanup FAQs for Westover and Shelby County
What does a biohazard cleanup company do with my belongings?
Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.
Does biohazard cleaning remove the smell?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Often, yes. Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies may cover cleanup of belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
