Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Seattle Means and Includes
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.

Does Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in 98118? Who Pays?
Yes, often. Biohazard cleanup following a sudden incident, including a death, sewage backup or crime, is commonly covered by renters and homeowners policies, less your deductible.
Washington Crime Victim Compensation
Washington's Crime Victims Compensation Program, run by the Department of Labor and Industries, does not pay for crime scene cleanup, so victims of violent crime should ask what it does cover. Insurance is usually checked first.
Homeowners and Renters Insurance for Biohazard Cleanup
Coverage usually applies to sudden, accidental events. Long-term neglect and hoarding are generally excluded. Check with the insurer prior to starting work.
Rental Property Owners and Landlords in King County
For common spaces and rental properties, cleanup is typically arranged and paid for by the property owner or manager.
The Estate and the Deceased Person's Next of Kin

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Seattle Homes and Businesses
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Is Done in Greater Seattle
The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
The caller describes what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
The affected area is sealed off with plastic sheeting so contamination does not spread to other rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
The area is checked, including ATP testing where needed, so the space is back to a livable condition, and you get photos and records for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
