When clutter includes biological hazards

Hoarding Biohazard Cleanup

Not every hoarding situation is a biohazard job. Specialized cleanup becomes more relevant when severe clutter is combined with human or animal waste, decomposition, contaminated food waste, bodily fluids, pests, or other biological hazards.

Separate clutter from contamination

Ordinary contents removal and biohazard remediation are not identical. The condition of the property determines which materials and areas require special handling.

Work in a controlled way

Removing items without a plan can uncover hidden contamination or spread affected debris through hallways, elevators, stairwells, or common areas.

Managed and rental properties

Landlords and property managers may need to coordinate access, occupant considerations, property rules, and follow-up repairs in addition to cleanup.

Talk through the property condition

Call 843-883-8751 and describe the type of contamination, property size, and access situation.

Need Help With a Biohazard Cleanup Situation?

Call and describe what happened, the property type, and the affected area. If there is immediate danger or an active emergency, contact 911 first.
