Discretion is part of the work. Vehicles are unmarked, the crew keeps its voice down and nothing about the job is shared with neighbors. Coverage includes Lake Dallas, Denton and the surrounding area of Denton County.
Fewer older adults in Denton County live alone than the Texas average, at 21%. Even so, unattended deaths happen in every community, and the cleanup steps are the same. The average July high in Lake Dallas is 96 degrees. Heat speeds decomposition, so an unattended death can become a larger cleanup in a short time.
Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, even after they dry. That is why biohazard cleaners follow OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, and put on gloves, respirators, boot covers and disposable suits before they enter the affected area.
Surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants. HEPA air scrubbers and hydroxyl or ozone equipment remove odor at the source, and ATP surface testing can confirm the area is clean. Biohazard waste is bagged, labeled and transported as regulated medical waste, and in Texas medical waste transporters register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

Knowing the basic types and job sizes makes the first phone call easier. Describe what happened and where, and a cleanup specialist can tell you which category the job likely falls into.
Yes. Raw sewage is treated as Category 3 water because it can carry bacteria such as E. coli, viruses and parasites. Porous materials it touches usually must be removed, and the rest is cleaned and disinfected.
Many policies do cover cleanup after a death in the home, but some exclude certain causes or situations. Read the policy or ask the insurer which parts apply. Call the insurance company before cleanup starts, and keep photos and receipts for the claim.
Safe cleaning means PPE, containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning, EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time, and sealed disposal of the waste. A small household spill is a different matter than a death or crime scene, and anything larger than a few drops should be left to a crew.
Contaminated items are bagged, labeled and moved as regulated medical waste. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Contaminated materials should not go in household trash.
The cost depends on the type of contamination, the size of the area, how many porous materials must be removed, odor treatment and waste disposal. A small spill costs far less than an unattended death or a hoarded home. The cleanup team explains the cost range after hearing the details.
Symptoms such as stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea can begin within a few hours to a few days after contact with raw sewage, depending on the germ. Sewage is a Category 3 biohazard, so it should be cleaned by a crew wearing protective gear, and anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
