See crime scene cleanupFor sewage, hoarding, death, blood, crime scene or another need in ZIP 30294, call to request biohazard cleanup.
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Often, yes. Biohazard cleanup following a sudden incident, including a death, sewage backup or crime, is commonly covered by renters and homeowners policies, less your deductible.
In rental units and common areas, the owner or property manager usually arranges and pays for cleanup.
Payment for death cleanup can often come out of the estate. The responsibility usually falls to a family member or executor.
Coverage usually applies to sudden, accidental events. Coverage usually does not apply to hoarding or ongoing neglect. Ask your insurer before work starts.
Victims of violent crime can ask the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Program, run by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, about crime scene cleanup. The program lists crime scene sanitization among eligible expenses. Insurance is usually checked first.
Call at any time. A cleanup specialist can explain the next steps.
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
You can call for emergency service at any hour, and crews come in unmarked vehicles so nearby residents and building staff are not told what occurred.
Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
You and your family receive care during a difficult time, without judgment about neglect or hoarding. Keepsakes, photos and documents are set aside for you.
You hear the cleanup plan, every step and what affects the price before anything is removed. There is no pressure and nothing unexpected.
From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.
Describe what occurred. You and the technicians agree on the scope after they inspect the scene and take photos.
Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.
To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.
Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Sealed waste goes to a permitted medical waste treatment facility, with tracking paperwork.
Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.
Rebuilding areas where drywall or floors were taken out can be done by your contractor or the insurer's vendor.
Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles and keep noise to the level the building allows. A property manager may need to arrange access to shared areas.
Cleanup of a unit or shared space is often arranged by the owner. Your insurer can tell you which costs your policy may cover.
National ranges from published sources serve as an initial guide. Your price is determined by the cleanup company once affected materials, rooms and disposal needs have been assessed.
Cleanup can begin after police, the medical examiner or another authority releases the property and a crew agrees a start time with you.
Phone calls receive an answer 24 hours a day. Scene release, crew scheduling and access to the property affect the actual start time.
