Crime Scene & Biohazard Cleanup

At Walker ProClean Solutions, we understand how sensitive and urgent biohazard situations can be. Here are answers to common questions we receive:
 

1. What is biohazard remediation?
Biohazard remediation is the specialized process of cleaning, sanitizing, and safely disposing of hazardous materials after events such as crime scenes, unattended deaths, hoarding situations, mold outbreaks, sewage backups, or infectious disease exposure.

2. What types of situations require biohazard cleanup?
Situations involving blood, bodily fluids, infectious diseases (like COVID-19 or Hepatitis), decomposition, or other dangerous contaminants require professional biohazard cleanup to ensure safety and compliance with local health regulations.

3. How much does biohazard cleaning cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and severity of the contamination. On average, cleanup services range between $1,000–$2,500. In many cases, insurance may cover some or all of the costs. We’ll work with you to explore payment options, including state or local assistance if applicable.

4. Is biohazard cleanup dangerous?
Yes—without proper training and PPE (personal protective equipment), there’s a high risk of infection and contamination. That’s why our trained technicians follow OSHA and EPA safety protocols to ensure every job is done thoroughly and safely.

5. What should I do if I discover a biohazardous scene?
Do not attempt to clean the area yourself. Avoid contact, secure the area if possible, and call Walker ProClean Solutions immediately. We offer prompt, discreet emergency response and will guide you through the next steps.

6. How long does the cleanup take?
Each situation is unique. Cleanup time depends on the size of the area and the level of contamination, but we always strive to work efficiently while maintaining the highest standards. We’ll provide a clear timeline once we assess the scene.

7. What happens to hazardous materials after cleanup?
Contaminated items are safely removed and disposed of according to state and federal regulations, which may include incineration, chemical treatment, or approved containment procedures.

8. Can I clean biohazards myself?
We strongly advise against it. DIY cleanup can spread contaminants and increase the risk of infection. Leave the cleanup to licensed professionals who are equipped to handle biohazards with the correct tools, safety gear, and disposal methods.

9. What certifications should a cleanup company have?
Look for certifications from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and compliance with OSHA bloodborne pathogens training. At Walker ProClean Solutions, our team meets all required certifications and training for biohazard and trauma scene cleanup.

10. How can I prevent biohazard risks?
Preventing biohazard exposure starts with proper hygiene, safe waste handling, and early intervention in hoarding, mold, or illness outbreaks. If you're unsure, our team offers consultations and proactive solutions to reduce future risk.
