Inside a Biohazard Cleaning Job in Westgate, Austin, TX
2. Contain and protect
Crews put on PPE, close off the affected area and keep people and pets out. Air movement is limited so germs are not carried into other rooms.
3. Strip, scrub and sanitize
Porous materials that cannot be cleaned are cut away. The rest is scrubbed and sanitized in layers, so no spot is left to chance.
4. Disinfect and finish
An EPA-registered disinfectant stays wet on each surface for its full contact time. The team treats odor, hauls waste and checks the work before leaving.

Westgate Biohazard Cleaning Questions, Answered
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.
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.
Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
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.
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.
What if the cleanup follows a suicide or violent crime?
The crew treats the scene with care and keeps details private. Law enforcement must release the property before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
