From First Call to Final Check: Biohazard Cleanup in Lazybrook / Timbergrove
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.

Detergent lifts residue from every surface first. Disinfectant does not work well on dirt, so this step comes before the chemical treatment.
4. Treat the air and surfaces
Disinfection and odor control come last. The crew walks through the finished area with the owner and answers any questions about what was done.

Biohazard Clean Up Questions From Lazybrook / Timbergrove, Houston, TX Property Owners
Who does biohazard cleanup?
Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
Who cleans up dead bodies?
First responders and the medical examiner or justice of the peace handle the body. A biohazard cleanup company cleans what is left behind, such as fluids, soaked materials and odor. The family does not have to do that part.
What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
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.
How is biohazard waste disposed of?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled as regulated medical waste, not put in household trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask the cleanup team how its waste is handled.
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.
