What is the Cost of Biohazard Cleanup in Mobile, Alabama?

The cost of biohazard cleanup, such as after an unattended death, crime scene, or hoarding situation, can vary significantly based on several factors. At Compassion BioClean, we aim to provide transparent pricing, but the total cost depends on specific circumstances related to the cleanup. Here's an overview of the factors that impact pricing:

Factors That Affect Biohazard Cleanup Costs:

1. Type of Incident
   • The nature of the biohazard (crime scene, unattended death, hoarding, etc.) will influence the cost. Crime scenes with blood or bodily fluids, for example, may require more specialized cleaning techniques and equipment than general hoarding situations.
2. Size of the Affected Area
   • Larger spaces or homes will naturally require more time, materials, and labor to clean. Cleanup costs for an entire home will be higher than for a single room or area.
3. Extent of Contamination
   • The degree of contamination is a major factor. If biohazard materials like blood, bodily fluids, or decomposition have penetrated flooring, walls, or furniture, the cleanup process becomes more complex and expensive. Areas that require removal of carpeting, drywall, or subflooring may add to the cost.
4. Time Lapsed Since Incident
   • The longer a body has remained undiscovered (in the case of an unattended death), the more challenging the cleanup becomes. Decomposition leads to stronger odors, the spread of fluids, and potential structural damage, which increases both time and costs.
5. Odor Remediation
   • If advanced odor control is necessary, especially in cases of decomposition, specialized equipment and techniques may be required to fully remove lingering smells. This can add to the cost of cleanup.
6. Disposal of Biohazard Materials
   • Proper disposal of hazardous materials like blood-soaked items, biohazardous waste, and contaminated personal belongings must follow specific regulations. The cost of disposal may be included in the total price.

Average Costs for Cleanup Services:

• Unattended Death Cleanup: Typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the factors listed above.
• Crime Scene Cleanup: Can range from $1,000 to $4,000, again depending on the severity and extent of the contamination.
• Hoarding Cleanup: Costs can vary widely from $1,000 to $20,000 or more, based on the size of the home, level of hoarding, and any biohazards present.
• General Biohazard Cleanup: Most general biohazard cleanups start at $1,000 but can increase depending on complexity and square footage.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost?
Many homeowners' insurance policies cover the cost of biohazard cleanup under certain conditions, such as crime scene cleanup, unattended death, or trauma incidents. However, the coverage can vary by policy and provider. It’s a good idea to contact your insurance company to understand what is covered. Compassion BioClean can also assist with filing insurance claims to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
