Biohazard and Trauma Cleanup
2,499 companies across 45 US metro areas list biohazard and trauma cleanup work. Here is what the job involves, what you can do yourself, and how to pick one.
What the Job Involves
Biohazard cleanup covers blood and body fluids after an injury, a crime or an unattended death, plus hoarding, animal waste and drug lab contamination. It is regulated work. Technicians are trained in bloodborne pathogens, wear full protective equipment, remove contaminated materials, disinfect with hospital grade products, and dispose of waste as regulated medical waste.
Families should not do this work themselves. Beyond the health risk, it is emotionally heavy in a way people do not expect. A good company is discreet, arrives in unmarked vehicles when asked, and often works directly with the homeowners insurance, which frequently covers it.
What You Can Do Yourself
Call a pro
Not a DIY job. While you wait, close the room, keep people and pets out, and do not try to clean or remove anything. If a death occurred, the authorities release the scene before cleanup can start.
Questions to Ask Any Company
- Are your technicians trained in bloodborne pathogen safety?
- How do you dispose of the waste, and will you give me a disposal record?
- Will you work with my insurance directly?
- Can you come in an unmarked vehicle?
- How will you confirm the area is clean when you finish?
