Biohazard Cleanup FAQs for Allston and Suffolk County
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
What if the cleanup follows a suicide or violent crime?
The crew treats the scene with care and keeps details private. Law enforcement must release the property before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
Does biohazard cleanup cover sewage backups?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so crews remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect the area and dry it when needed. A plumber fixes the pipe, and the cleanup team takes care of what the backup left behind.
Can a landlord or property manager set up biohazard cleanup?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner or insurer.
