Will my insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Many homeowners and commercial policies provide coverage for biohazard and trauma scene cleanup, depending on the circumstances. We can help you document the loss and work with your insurance carrier.

Most jobs can be completed within a few hours to a full day, depending on the size of the area and the level of contamination. More complex situations may require multiple visits.
