Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Franklin Park and Travis County
How do I choose among biohazard remediation companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
Who pays for decontamination in Texas?
The property owner usually pays on their own property, often the owner, family or estate. In a rental, the lease and local law decide. If a violent crime was involved, the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016, with insurance used first. Questions go to (800) 983-9933.
Do I need to be home during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call.
Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?
Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.
