Common questions from Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region
What counts as biohazard cleanup?
Across Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region, biohazard cleanup covers crime scenes, deaths at home that went unnoticed, suicides, accidents, blood spills and hoarded homes. Anything soaked is cut out and bagged, every surface is disinfected and deodorized, and the waste leaves as regulated medical waste, never with household trash. It starts once police or the medical examiner release the home, and the scope and price can be set in writing first.
Who handles the cleanup after an unattended death?
Across Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region, the cleanup falls to whoever is responsible for the property: the family, the executor or the landlord. The funeral home takes the person into its care but does not clean the room. Death cleanup removes the affected flooring and furniture, disinfects the room and treats the odor at its source, so the home can be lived in, rented or sold again.
Who cleans up a crime scene in Middletown?
The property owner, the tenant or the family arranges it. Police and the medical examiner leave once the scene is released, and the cleanup is left to whoever is responsible for the property. Crime scene cleanup, also called homicide cleanup, removes the blood and soaked materials, cleans away fingerprint powder and disinfects the room. After a violent crime, the state victim compensation program may reimburse part of the cost for eligible victims.
What should I do first after a death at home?
For a home in Middletown, the first call is to 911 if it has not been made. After the home is released, close the door to the room, leave the cleaning alone, keep anything an insurer may need to see, and take photos. In a rental, tell the landlord or property manager. Then call for cleanup and ask for the scope and price in writing before any work starts.
Junk removal, house cleaner or biohazard cleanup: which one do I call?
A biohazard cleanup company, whenever the home has blood, body fluids, human or animal waste, or a death no one found for days, because soaked materials have to come out and the waste is hauled as regulated medical waste. Junk removal and house cleaners handle belongings and surfaces only. A hoarding situation with no waste or pests, levels 1 or 2 on the Clutter-Hoarding Scale, may not need a biohazard crew.
