2. Seal off the area
Barriers, floor covering and controlled airflow keep the contaminated area separate. Crew members suit up before they cross the boundary.

What Oak Hills Residents Ask About Biohazard Cleanup
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Can a landlord or property manager set up biohazard cleanup?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner or insurer.
What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Frequently. If a policy covers the event, it can pay after the deductible. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Office of the Attorney General, pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016, with insurance used first and claims filed within three years. Questions go to (800) 983-9933.
