Questions About Biohazard Cleanup in Fishtown / Lower Kensington, Philadelphia, PA

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.

Who pays for biohazard cleanup in Pennsylvania?

It depends on the cause and the property. Insurance is the first place to look. Without it, the owner, the estate or the family usually pays, and in a rental the lease and local law decide. Some cleanup teams offer payment plans.

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.

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 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.

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.
