What biohazard cleanup is and when to call
Biohazard cleanup is the removal and disinfection of blood, body fluids and other material that can carry disease after a crime, a death at home that went unnoticed, a suicide, an accident or a hoarding situation. Call once police or the medical examiner have released the scene, or as soon as a hoarded home or a soaked mattress needs to go. One call to (855) 675-5912 arranges it, at any hour.
What crime scene cleanup covers
Crime scene cleanup covers several separate jobs, each with its own scope and price.
Homicide cleanup
Homicide cleanup means removing blood and other body fluids from floors, walls, furniture and fixtures after a homicide, plus the carpet, padding, drywall or subfloor they soaked into, once police and the medical examiner release the scene. It takes a few hours to a full day for most scenes; large or heavily contaminated scenes can take several days. It is usually arranged by families after a death in the home, landlords and property managers with a released rental unit, and business owners.
Assault scene cleanup
Assault scene cleanup is usually arranged by people returning home after an assault, their families, landlords, and businesses where the assault happened. It means cleaning blood from an assault where the person survived and was taken to hospital: floors, walls, doors, furniture and anything else the blood reached.
Fingerprint powder and forensic residue removal
Fingerprint powder and forensic residue removal means removing the fingerprint powder, luminol and other chemical residue investigators leave on walls, doors, glass and furniture. The powder can stain surfaces for good if it is wiped the wrong way. It is usually arranged by homeowners, renters and businesses after a break-in or any crime where police dusted for prints, even when no one was hurt.
Tear gas and pepper spray residue cleanup
Tear gas and pepper spray residue cleanup is usually arranged by owners and renters after a police standoff or arrest inside the home, and business owners. It means removing the residue tear gas or pepper spray leaves after police use it inside a home or business. The residue settles into furniture, mattresses, clothing, carpet and the HVAC system and keeps irritating the eyes, nose and throat of anyone in the home until it is removed.
Vehicle crime scene cleanup
Vehicle crime scene cleanup means cleaning blood and body fluids from a car, truck or other vehicle after a crime, including seats, carpet and other porous parts that often have to be removed. It takes a few hours to a full day for most vehicles. It is usually arranged by vehicle owners, families getting a car back from police, and fleet or rental owners.
Break-in and vandalism cleanup
Break-in and vandalism cleanup is usually arranged by homeowners, renters and business owners after a break-in. It means cleaning up after a burglary or vandalism: blood from broken glass, fingerprint powder, and paint or other material used to deface the property.

Homeowners and renters policies set their own limits, and the adjuster decides what a policy covers. Call your insurer before the work starts, and keep photos and receipts.
In a rental, the lease and state law decide whether the landlord or the tenant arranges and pays for cleanup. After a death, the estate or the family usually arranges it.
