Every job follows the same order. Assess the area, contain it, remove contaminated and hazardous materials, disinfect, treat odor and dispose of the waste under the rules. Crews are available 24/7 in Foxfire and throughout Wake County.
Vacancy in Raleigh is lower than the North Carolina average, at 10%, so most cleanups happen in occupied homes where families want the work done privately and with care.

Household gloves and a spray bottle do not meet the standard for infectious materials. Biohazard decontamination follows 29 CFR 1910.1030, which sets rules for protective equipment, handling and disposal when blood or other potentially infectious materials are present.

About 23% of homes in Raleigh were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and trim hold fluids deeper, which can mean more material to remove.
An average July high of 91 degrees in Foxfire speeds up decomposition after a death. The sooner the scene is released and cleaned, the less the odor and fluids spread.
With renters in about 49% of homes in Raleigh, landlords and property managers often call about tenant deaths, abandoned units and unsafe conditions that need biohazard cleaning.
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.
