Has a crime, an accident or an unattended death left a mess in El Paso? Police and paramedics do not clean up afterward, so you need cleaners to remove blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials. Call (877) 812-4220.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988.
What counts as a biohazard? Anything that can spread disease, such as blood, tissue, bodily fluids, human waste, raw sewage, sharps and some animal waste. In El Paso, you can get residential and commercial biohazard cleanup that removes it safely and completely, with help from El Paso Biohazard Cleanup Help.
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 El Paso, El Paso and the surrounding area of El Paso County.
About 44% of homes in El Paso were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids deeply. Law enforcement, including the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, leads the investigation. The cleanup begins only after the scene is released.
Infectious materials call for infection control, not just cleaning. Biohazard remediation crews use respirators, gloves and disposable coveralls under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), then bag every contaminated item for proper disposal.
Disposal is part of the job, not an afterthought. Biohazardous waste is bagged, labeled, kept apart from household trash and moved as regulated medical waste, with Texas medical waste transporters registered with the TCEQ.

Failing septic systems and sewer backups push raw sewage, a Category 3 biohazard, into homes. Sewage cleanup removes contaminated materials and disinfects every surface.
El Paso County has a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA. Floodwater mixes with sewage, and anything it touches needs full biohazard cleaning, not just drying.
Falls, power tool injuries, farm and industrial accidents and car crashes can leave blood and tissue behind. Accident scene cleanup removes the trace so the space can be used again.
Attics, barns and sheds can hold droppings, guano and carcasses that carry disease. Careful removal and disinfection protect the people who go back in.

Offices, shops, churches and other public spaces may need cleanup after an injury, illness outbreak or break-in. The work is planned around staff, customers and reopening dates.
Before any cleanup starts, the crew asks two questions: what is it, and how much of the property does it touch? The answers shape the safety plan, the equipment and the overall cost.
Yes, when the source is removed and treated. The crew takes out the contaminated materials, disinfects the surfaces, and uses HEPA air scrubbers and hydroxyl or ozone equipment to clear the air, rather than masking the smell.
Regular cleaning removes dirt. Biohazard cleanup removes infectious material and reaches under and behind surfaces, using PPE, containment, EPA-registered disinfectants and regulated waste disposal. It follows safety rules that ordinary cleaning does not.
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.
The body is removed by a funeral home or the authorities. Cleaning the room afterwards is not their job; the family, landlord or estate hires biohazard cleaners for death cleanup, decomposition removal and odor removal.
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.
Respirators, gloves, face protection, boot covers and disposable suits make up the usual personal protective equipment (PPE). It is put on before entering the work area and disposed of as contaminated waste afterwards.
