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.
Technicians wear protective equipment, remove porous materials that cannot be decontaminated (carpet, pad, drywall, mattresses), disinfect hard surfaces with hospital-grade products, and package waste for disposal as regulated medical waste.
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.
Cost ranges are general estimates; the real price depends on the size of the affected area and the materials involved. Always get a written estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover it?
Many homeowners and renters policies cover biohazard cleanup when it results from a covered event. Many providers will talk to your insurer directly. For crimes, the Texas Crime Victims’ Compensation Program (Office of the Attorney General) may help eligible victims with cleanup costs.
Who is responsible for the cleanup?
In most cases the property owner or the family. Police, fire departments and the medical examiner do not clean the scene after they finish their work.
