Biohazard cleanup is the removal and disinfection of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other potentially infectious materials. It is needed after deaths, injuries, crimes, and some medical or animal-related incidents.
The work is protective equipment, removal of porous materials that cannot be decontaminated (carpet, pad, drywall, mattresses), disinfection of hard surfaces, and getting the waste to somewhere that will accept it. Texas exempts household waste from its medical waste rules, but a city drop-off will still refuse a blood-soaked mattress, so ask any contractor where the material actually goes.
A regular cleaning company or carpet cleaner is not equipped for this. Surface cleaning can leave contamination in subfloors and wall cavities, which later causes odor and health risk.
The range above is what national restoration vendors advertise, traceable to their own published pages. It is not a typical cost and not a quote: no Texas authority publishes a price for this work, and the one figure the state publishes anywhere is the $2,250 Crime Victims' Compensation cap. Where these numbers come from, and where the vendors disagree.
