Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal of contaminated material and the disinfection of the affected area. Crews wear PPE, remove what cannot be cleaned and haul waste by the rules. The goal is a space that no longer poses a health risk.
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.
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.
