Death Cleanup
Summary
When a person passes away, biological hazards can begin forming within hours. Bodily fluids, bacteria, and odors can spread through flooring, furniture, and ventilation systems, requiring professional decontamination to restore safety.
At Biohazard PRO, our certified technicians specialize in discreet, compliant death cleanup using medical-grade disinfectant-cleaners, ozone treatment, and HEPA filtration. Every step follows OSHA and EPA standards with full documentation for insurance and peace of mind.
🕒 When Death Cleanup Is Needed
Death cleanup should be performed whenever biological contamination is present after a passing — especially when:
- The deceased was unattended for an extended period
- There are visible bodily fluids or decomposition odors
- Insects, bacteria, or airborne particulates are detected
- Cross-contamination may have spread to other areas and systems
- Sensitive property items must be preserved safely during cleanup
Unattended deaths often release organic matter that penetrates porous materials. Without proper remediation, odor and microbial growth can persist indefinitely — posing health, structural, and emotional challenges for those left behind.
Death Cleanup — Decontamination Process
1️⃣ Assessment & Scene Control
• Evaluate hazards, affected materials, and HVAC involvement
• Coordinate with authorities/owners as needed
• Establish containment only if required; set PPE and safety protocols
2️⃣ HEPA Vacuuming & Pre-Treatment
• HEPA vacuum porous/semi-porous surfaces and nearby dust load
• Apply disinfectant-cleaners as pre-spray to impacted areas
• Agitate heavier soils to ensure full surface contact
3️⃣ Source Removal & Decontamination
• Remove visible fluids and extract/section contaminated materials (carpet/pad, subfloor, drywall as needed)
• Manual/mechanical cleaning, then apply disinfectant-cleaner for full decontamination coverage
• Bag, label, and stage regulated medical waste for compliant transport
4️⃣ Air & Odor Remediation
• Deploy HEPA air filtration; treat odors/VOCs with ozone generators (area unoccupied during treatment)
• Ventilate and verify safe re-entry timing after ozone reversion
5️⃣ Verification, Disposal & Documentation
• ATP surface testing to confirm cleanliness; photo logs of treated areas
• Transport and dispose of waste via licensed facilities with manifests
• Provide Certificate of Treatment and insurance-ready documentation

Death Cleanup
Biohazard PRO offers bio cleaning services that include homicide, suicide, natural deaths, and unattended deaths. Not only will a thorough and effective decontamination process occur, but any odor associated with death can be removed in the death cleanup process.
We understand these can be difficult times for family and friends of the deceased and will do our best to deal with theses issues with compassion, privacy, and care. We can even recover items in the household for you when it is unsafe to enter or re-enter the property.
Biohazard remediation is regulated by the federal government and requires very careful consideration to rules and regulations set forth by agencies such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Failure to adhere to these laws can result in severe fines and potential imprisonment.
Biohazard PRO will properly establish the contaminated area/s, prevent cross-contamination, remove and clean existing bio matter, decontaminate, and deodorize if necessary.
