What biohazard cleanup covers:
The crew leader asks about the people, the property and any concerns about privacy. Equipment is packed to match the type of contamination.
The team inspects the affected area and notes every surface the contamination touched. It explains what can be cleaned and what has to be removed.
Porous materials that cannot be cleaned are cut away. The rest is scrubbed and sanitized in layers, so no spot is left to chance.
Waste is packed for regulated hauling, and odor is treated at its source. The crew shows the owner the finished area and explains the paperwork.
Expect biohazard cleanup in Savannah, GA to cost roughly $1,500 to $25,000, with the final price set after an on-site assessment.
