Biohazard Cleanup in Miami: What It Is and What It Covers

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.

Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

A biohazard is anything biological that can make people sick. In a home or business that usually means:

  • Bodily fluids and blood, whether dried or fresh
  • Decomposition after an unattended death
  • Urine, vomit and animal waste or human waste
  • Category 3 black water, including raw sewage
  • Needles, sharps and medical waste
  • Meth, fentanyl and drug lab residue

First steps

What to Do First After a Death, Crime or Biohazard Spill in Miami-Dade County

Few people encounter this more than once. Taking these initial actions safeguards your health, insurance claim and final cleanup cost.

Call (888) 440-9227
  1. If a person is hurt or has died, call 911. Law enforcement, first responders and the medical examiner must release the scene before cleanup can begin.
  2. Stay out of the affected area. Block access for children and pets, then close the door. Never cross an area containing blood or body fluids.
  3. Leave the cleanup to professionals. Ordinary household products can spread contaminants and fix stains into walls or flooring.
  4. Call your insurance company. Report the loss, ask about biohazard cleanup coverage and write down the claim number.
  5. Call for biohazard cleanup. Explain the situation and identify each affected room so cleanup can be planned.
Step by step

The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Miami area, Step by Step

Each job follows the same safe biohazard cleanup process, beginning with your call and ending with the final inspection.

  1. Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment

    Describe what occurred. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.

  2. Containment of the Affected Area

    To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.

  3. 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.

  4. Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection

    Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.

  8. Repairs and Back to Normal

    A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.

Health and safety

Biohazard Serious Health Risks in Miami area Homes and Workplaces

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.

Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough

Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.

Decomposition and Airborne Contamination

During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

Sewage, Bacteria and Mold

Raw sewage may carry hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli. Materials that stay wet can support mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens

HIV and hepatitis B and C may remain in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.

Insurance and who pays

Will Insurance Cover Biohazard Cleanup in Florida?

Frequently, yes. Homeowners and renters insurance commonly covers biohazard cleanup after a sudden event such as a death, a crime or a sewage backup, minus your deductible.

Homeowners and Renters Insurance for Biohazard Cleanup

Coverage usually applies to sudden, accidental events. Coverage usually does not apply to hoarding or ongoing neglect. Speak with your insurance company before cleanup begins.

Rental Property Owners and Landlords in Miami-Dade County

The property manager or owner commonly coordinates and funds cleanup for a rented unit or common area.

Florida Crime Victim Compensation

Victims of violent crime can ask the Florida Attorney General's Bureau of Victim Compensation about cleanup, since its rules count crime scene cleanup costs as a compensable loss. Insurance is usually checked first.

Safety of Cleaning Up Your Own Biohazard Spill in Florida

A small amount of fresh blood on a hard surface that is non-porous can be cleaned safely. Wear disposable gloves, follow the complete contact time for an EPA-registered disinfectant, and discard used gloves and cloths in a sealed bag.

For anything larger, the answer is no. Fluids that reached carpet, wood, drywall or a mattress need removal, not wiping, and the waste is regulated. Professional biohazard cleaners also spare families from cleaning the place where a loved one died.
