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

Meridian Biohazard Cleaning Questions, Answered
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.
How much does biohazard cleanup cost per hour?
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
Is cleaning up a biohazard dangerous without training?
It can be. Bloodborne pathogens, sharps and airborne particles pose real risks, and a mistake can spread contamination through a home. Professional crews use gear, containment and procedures built for the job.
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.
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.
What does a biohazard cleanup company do with my belongings?
Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.
