Types of After Death Cleanup Services

Bio Recovery’s local branch serving Austin offers a variety of professional services, including:

Biohazard Cleanup

Biohazards are any biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily humans. They include blood/bodily fluids, tissue, human or animal waste, infectious diseases (e.g., C. diff or E. coli), or other harmful pathogens. Our biohazard cleanup services address the complete range of biohazards using specialized equipment, eco-friendly cleaning solutions, and a certified team of technicians to ensure in-depth sanitization and safe disposal of contaminated materials.

Suicide Cleanup

Following a suicide, family members face overwhelming challenges. Our team approaches suicide cleanup with the utmost sensitivity, understanding the emotional toll on the family and loved ones of the deceased. We meticulously handle the after-death scene cleanup, removing all biohazardous materials, sanitizing the area, and working to eliminate any lingering reminders of the event.

Homicide Cleanup

Homicide scenes present complex challenges, often involving law enforcement and comprehensive contamination. Our experts are trained in crime scene cleanup protocols, working efficiently to restore these areas once authorities have completed their investigation. We ensure all evidence collection protocols are respected while providing thorough after death scene cleanup services.

Unattended Death Cleanup

Unattended deaths, where the deceased is not discovered for days or weeks, pose significant health risks due to decomposition. Our specialized team has expertise in this area, removing all biohazardous materials and neutralizing odors to make the space safe for occupancy again.

Accident Scene Cleanup

Accidents resulting in severe injuries or fatalities often leave behind biohazardous materials. Whether in homes, workplaces, or vehicles, we provide exhaustive cleaning and decontamination services to restore safety and normalcy.

Decomposition and Odor Removal

Our team specializes in addressing the challenges of advanced decomposition, including bodily fluids, tissue, and pervasive odors. Our decomposition and odor removal services use advanced techniques to eliminate odors at their source, not just mask them. We ensure thorough remediation, making the area odor-free and habitable.

Blood Cleanup

Bloodshed, whether from an injury or other causes, requires professional attention. Our blood cleanup services in Austin go beyond surface cleaning. As licensed blood sanitation specialists, we sanitize and restore the safety of commercial, industrial, residential, and public areas. Our services include the cleanup of blood spills, gross filth, bodily fluids, and contaminated crime scenes. We're equipped to handle blood removal in homes, apartments, offices, businesses, hotels, and vehicles.

Our expertise in various types of after death scene cleanup, including crime scene cleanup, ensures that Austin residents receive in-depth services tailored to their particular needs.

Why You Should Hire a Professional

Attempting to clean a property after death without professional help can pose severe health risks and legal complications. Here's why expert services are necessary:

Detailed Biohazard Removal: Biohazards provide unique challenges, and our technicians are trained to identify and eliminate all traces of biohazardous materials, including those invisible to the naked eye or hidden in the structure of the property or vehicle.
Compliance with Health and Safety Regulations: We adhere strictly to OSHA, EPA, and state-specific regulations, ensuring legal compliance and safety.
Emotional Support for Families: Our empathetic approach provides a buffer for families, allowing them to focus on the grieving process rather than the cleaning process.
Proper Disposal of Contaminated Materials: We handle the safe removal and disposal of biohazardous waste, following all legal guidelines.
Odor Elimination: Using advanced techniques, we neutralize odors at their source rather than masking them temporarily.

Professional services not only ensure thorough cleaning but also provide peace of mind during an already stressful time.

Risks of DIY Cleanup

While it may be tempting to handle cleanup personally, DIY after-death cleanup poses significant risks:

Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens: Without proper protection, individuals risk exposure to a variety of dangerous pathogens, such as bacteria like C. diff, E. Coli, hepatitis, HIV, and others, as well as viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Incomplete Sanitization: Improper cleaning can leave behind invisible biohazards, posing ongoing health risks and causing lingering odors.
Psychological Trauma: Cleaning up after a loved one's death can cause severe emotional distress and a lasting psychological impact.
Improper Waste Disposal: Biohazardous waste requires specialized disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and legal liabilities.

The risks associated with DIY cleanup far outweigh any perceived benefits, making professional services essential. Bio Recovery's two decades of experience in biohazard remediation, combined with our compassionate approach, make us the top choice for after death cleanup services in Austin and the surrounding areas.

Our Cleanup Process

At Bio Recovery, our cleanup process is meticulous, but working with us is simple. For those facing the upsetting task of after death cleanup, here's an overview of our approach:

Reach Out to Us Right Away: The sooner you call us, the sooner we can assess the situation and help review your options. We know what questions to ask about the incident, and we can work with the insurance company to determine if insurance coverage is available. We start this process immediately.
Claim Submission: If property insurance is in force, we will submit the claim on your behalf and work to confirm insurance coverage before we commence work to help mitigate costs. Depending on the insurance company, it can take up to a day or so to confirm coverage, but it is often the same day. If there is no insurance, we offer significant self-pay discounts to help minimize the financial burden.
Dispatch Technicians: We schedule our technicians to the site for the cleanup. We are usually available to perform the service within 1 day, or at whatever later time is most convenient for the family or property owner.
Documentation: Upon reaching your property, our technicians conduct a comprehensive examination. We photograph the affected areas thoroughly, beginning with the exterior and moving inward. In cases involving crime scenes, we only commence our work after law enforcement has completed their investigation and collected all necessary evidence.
Safety Protocols: We implement strict containment measures to prevent the spread of biohazardous materials. Our team dons appropriate protective gear before entering the affected area, ensuring both their safety and the integrity of the cleanup process.
Biohazard Remediation: Using advanced equipment and techniques, we remove all biohazardous materials, including blood and bodily fluids. We apply medical-grade disinfectants in compliance with health and safety regulations to ensure extensive sanitization.
Comprehensive Decontamination: We employ scientific testing methods to verify the elimination of harmful bacteria. Our process includes the use of specialized air purification systems and deodorizers to address both visible contaminants and unseen pathogens.
Responsible Waste Management: We follow strict biohazard disposal procedures, safely removing and disposing of all contaminated materials in compliance with regulations.
Verification: After cleaning and removing all biohazards, our technicians conduct a walk-through with a family member or property owner to review the entire remediation process and ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Bio Recovery understands that our clients seek a return to normalcy after tragedy. Our rigorous process aims to restore not just your space but also your peace of mind, helping you take the first steps toward healing. We make sure to maintain open communication with you, respecting your privacy and property—always.

Paying for After Death Cleanup Services

Losing a loved one is overwhelming, to say the least, so we strive to make the payment one less thing to worry about. You may be surprised to learn that damage caused to property and personal items after death is often covered by property or renters insurance. We are experts in managing the insurance process to help maximize coverage and minimize or eliminate the financial burden of a professional cleanup.

If insurance is available, we take care of everything and work directly with your insurance carrier so you can focus on your family and the grieving process. If insurance coverage is not available, we offer significant self-pay discounts and flexible payment options.

We also try to help uninsured and low-income customers find organizations or government resources for possible financial assistance opportunities.

For your convenience, we accept:

Homeowners Insurance
Renters Insurance
Credit Cards
Payment Plans

      Bio Recovery was, by far, above and beyond what I expected. Tristan and Jason were VERY thorough, compassionate, and answered any and all questions about the clean- up of my DIL's suicide. Everything that was questionable, was either cleaned up or removed. The room was spotless when they left.
I would HIGHLY recommend Tristan and Jason OR your company for any type of situation like this that our family had to endure. Thank you!
