2. Arrive discreetly
The team arrives in an unmarked vehicle and works quietly. Protective gear goes on at the door and the work area is isolated right away.

4. Sign off with the owner
The crew goes through the finished space with the owner or manager. Waste leaves in sealed containers and the property is ready for the next step.

Overlea Biohazard Cleaning Questions, Answered
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How much does biohazard cleanup cost?
The price depends on the size of the area, the type of contamination, the materials affected, odor work and waste hauling. A quote is possible once the crew knows the details. Insurance may cover part of it.
