Biohazard Clean Up Questions From Damariscotta, ME Property Owners
Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Often, yes. Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies may cover cleanup of belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
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.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
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 biohazard cleaning remove the smell?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.
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.
