Typical Biohazard Problems for Harris County Property Owners

Flood and storm sewage

Harris County has a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA. Floodwater mixes with sewage, and anything it touches needs full biohazard cleaning, not just drying.

Infectious disease, drugs and sharps

Homes, churches and businesses may need infectious disease disinfection, needle and sharps cleanup, or meth lab and fentanyl decontamination after a property is released.

Businesses, churches and public spaces

Offices, shops, churches and other public spaces may need cleanup after an injury, illness outbreak or break-in. The work is planned around staff, customers and reopening dates.

Unattended death and decomposition

When a death goes unnoticed for days, decomposition fluids reach flooring and subfloor and the odor spreads. Death cleanup removes the affected materials and treats the odor at the source.

Older adults living alone

About 30% is the census figure for older adults living alone in Houston. When a person dies alone, days may pass before anyone knows, and unattended death cleanup follows.

Vehicles with blood or fluids

Cars, trucks and work vehicles can carry biohazards after an accident, assault or medical event. Vehicle cleanup removes contaminated upholstery and disinfects every surface and vent.

Understanding Biohazards: Types, Risks and Cleanup Size

Health risks vary by material. Blood and bodily fluids bring bloodborne pathogens, decomposition brings bacteria and odor, and waste and residue bring their own dangers. Job size then sets the scale of the response.

Types of biohazards and their health risks

  • Blood and bodily fluids. Can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, even after drying.
  • Decomposition. Fluids soak into flooring and subfloor, attract insects and leave a strong death odor.
  • Sharps and medical waste. Needles and soiled materials that must leave as regulated medical waste.
  • Sewage, animal waste and drug residue. Bacteria such as E. coli, hantavirus from rodent droppings, and meth or fentanyl residue.

Job sizes

  • Small: One spot or one surface, such as a blood spill, often done in a few hours.
  • Medium: One room, with carpet, padding or drywall removed.
  • Large: Several rooms, or fluids that reached the subfloor or HVAC.
  • Whole property: Hoarder houses, meth labs or full building decontamination.

The First Hour After a Death, Crime or Spill in Gulfgate Riverview / Pine Valley, Houston, TX

  1. Call 911 if anyone is hurt or in danger.
  2. Treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Do not touch, clean or throw anything away.
  3. Do not use a shop vacuum, mop or bleach on blood or bodily fluids, since that can spread the contamination.
  4. Do not pick up needles, broken glass or unknown containers. Call 911 if you are unsure about something sharp.
  5. Do not carry soaked items through the home or put them in the regular trash. Leave them for the crew.
  6. Call (877) 812-4220 and describe what happened. A cleanup specialist can explain the next steps before anyone enters.

Biohazard Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Gulfgate Riverview / Pine Valley, Houston, TX

Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?

It can. A homeowners or renters policy may cover crime scene cleaning after the deductible, and a business policy may cover a commercial property. Insurance is used first, then the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may help with what remains after a violent crime.

Is dried blood still a biohazard?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens. The CDC notes hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days, and scraping dried blood releases particles. It should be handled with PPE and disinfected.

What is considered biohazard cleanup?

Biohazard cleanup is the removal, cleaning and disinfection of anything that can spread disease: blood, bodily fluids, tissue, decomposition, human and animal waste, raw sewage, sharps and drug residue. It covers crime scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, trauma scene cleanup, suicide cleanup, hoarding cleanup and infectious disease disinfection.

How long does biohazard cleanup take?

Most biohazard clean up jobs take one to three days. A small blood spill can be finished in a few hours, while an unattended death with decomposition, a hoarder house or a meth lab can take a week or longer.

Do you need a biohazard cleanup company after a small spill?

A few drops from a small cut can sometimes be cleaned up by a careful person wearing gloves, with disinfectant on hard surfaces. Larger amounts, anything on porous materials, or fluids from another person are best left to a cleanup crew.

Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?

Often, yes. Many homeowners and renters insurance policies cover biohazard cleaning after a sudden event such as a death, crime or accident, after the deductible. Hoarding and gradual damage are often excluded. The cleanup work is documented with photos and notes for the insurance company.

Why are unattended death calls common in Houston?

The census figure for older adults living alone in Houston is 30%, above the Texas average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and that leads to unattended death cleanup.

Who investigates deaths at home in Harris County?

Deaths in Harris County may be looked into by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. The office and the police decide when the person can be removed and when the property is released for cleanup.
