Vehicle biohazard remediation is necessary when cleanup requires more than a surface wipe down of visible biohazards and debris. Vehicles require a thorough chemical treatment to properly disinfect lingering pathogens and prevent recurring odors.If situations like homicides, suicides, unattended deaths, or disease outbreaks occur inside a vehicle of any kind, biohazard vehicle cleanup and disinfection is needed to thoroughly disinfect the affected areas. This often requires removal of porous materials inside the car to ensure disinfection from any lingering blood, feces, urine, vomit, and other body fluids.
A biohazard is any hazardous biological material, such as those found at crime scenes, trauma scenes, sewage backups, and drug paraphernalia.
Improper treatment can spread contamination and lead to illness or life-threatening conditions.
First, if this is due to a crime or accident, you will need to call 911 and report the situation. Once the initial crime scene or accident has been addressed by the authorities and the ambulance or coroner has removed the body (if there was one), you can start to process what things need to be done to get back to normal. It can be very overwhelming. Give us a call and explain the situation, give us the address, who we will need to communicate with and your insurance information. We can help. We may be able to come right away, however in some cases where there is an investigation in process, we cannot begin cleanup until the scene has been released.
Most standard homeowner's insurance policies do include coverage for biohazard cleanups. However, there can be exceptions, and some policies may offer limited coverages.
