Biohazard / Crime Scene
Summary:
Biohazard remediation services involve cleaning up blood or bodily fluids that have contaminated an area, including crime scene cleanup, blood cleanup, and general biohazardous material cleanup. Factors that affect pricing and the extent of cleaning required include the nature of the incident, location, and how long the scene has been contaminated. Homeowners insurance may cover these services, and the company can work with insurance providers to ensure that the property is restored to its normal state.
Biohazard remediation is a blanket service term that we use to cover quite a few of our services. Each of these services is generally centered around the cleaning of blood or bodily fluids that have contaminated an area.
When it comes to pricing a crime scene cleanup job we take into account a few factors in each job.
First, did the individual pass away? If yes, how did they pass away? A gunshot suicide will require more cleaning than someone who passed away in their sleep. If no, then what was the situation? If someone was stabbed or shot but lived then it is still a crime with a violent nature with blood and bodily fluid loss.
Second, where did the incident occur? Different locations can pose different challenges for cleaning. Such as the difference between a bathroom vs a bedroom. In a bathroom, there will be primarily tile and it is easier to clean than carpet in a bedroom, which will have to be removed.
Third, how long has the scene been contaminated? The longer bodily fluids are left uncleaned, the more likely it is for fluids to soak through floors and subfloors which creates more area to be cleaned. These questions help us estimate how many technicians and how long they will need to clean up the scene. As well as how many bio bags and boxes that will be required for the disposal of the cleaning supplies at the end of the process.
These jobs can fall underneath crime scene cleaning because of the violent nature associated with some scenes. However, accidents happen, so the questions that we will ask will sound similar, but we need the information to ensure that we are able to provide you the best service possible.

While the main biohazard that we clean is bodily fluids, there are other biohazards that we are able to help with outside of that. This can be anything from feces to medical sharps. Many of our questions above will remain the same because we need to get an understanding of the scene to be able to offer the best service that we can.

Blood can be a difficult and potentially dangerous substance to clean up. Whether it's due to a medical emergency, crime scene, or an accident, it's important to know how to properly clean and dispose of blood to minimize the risk of harm to yourself and others. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about cleaning up blood, from safety precautions to effective cleaning methods.
Coming into the scene of a suicide can be quite traumatic for anyone, especially family members of the deceased.If someone commits suicide on your property or another location, you will need to clean up the biohazard or remains as law enforcement does not do this. First you will need to call law enforcement to perform a thorough investigation. Once this is complete you should consider hiring biohazard experts as cleaning remains is an extensive job. This requires having safety protective gear, the right chemicals and equipment to clean thoroughly and experts to dispose of decomposition as you cannot just dump it in the trash.
Cleaning can be a tedious, messy, and rather challenging task, especially if you’re dealing with a biohazard environment. Many people take cleaning upon themselves as it seemingly looks simple and straightforward, but rudimentary cleaning knowledge will not suffice if you’re dealing with contaminated areas.
