⚰️ Unattended Death Cleanup

Unattended deaths often involve decomposition, biological fluid migration, airborne bacteria, and structural contamination. Cleaners and junk haulers are not licensed to legally remove or transport any of these materials — leaving families exposed to major liability, fines, and dangerous hidden contamination.

HazWash dispatches certified hazmat technicians who identify all affected materials, perform legal waste removal, and provide full disposal documentation so the property is safe, compliant, and ready for rebuild.

🕊️ Natural Death Cleanup

Even when a passing is peaceful, natural deaths that go unnoticed for hours or days still create biological contamination beneath carpet, flooring, mattresses, and into HVAC systems.

HazWash provides sensitive, discreet, and legally compliant removal of all affected materials — ensuring health safety and full regulatory compliance for families and property owners.

🧬 Decomposition Cleanup

Decomposition affects far more than what is visible: subfloor saturation, wall absorption, odor molecules trapped in porous material, insect activity, and airborne bacteria. Cleaners simply cannot legally touch or transport most affected items — and incomplete cleanup leads to severe long-term health risks.

HazWash performs full hazmat remediation including structural removal, odor neutralization, legal waste disposal, and post-cleanup verification for full safety.

🩸 Body Fluid Removal

During a death event, bodily fluids often spread far beyond the visible area — into subflooring, furniture, walls, vents, and textiles. Cleaners treat this like housekeeping, which is both unsafe and illegal.

HazWash uses licensed hazmat procedures to remove, classify, package, and transport all contaminated material legally, protecting families from fines and long-term liability.

🧼 Odor from Death Removal

Odors caused by decomposition are not “smells”—they are airborne biohazards containing VOCs, organic acids, bacteria, and microscopic particles. Foggers and fragrances do nothing to neutralize them.

HazWash performs source removal, hazmat disinfection, and professional odor treatment to permanently eliminate death-related odors at the molecular level, not mask them.

📦 Personal Property Impacted by Death

Decomposition and fluids often contaminate furniture, mattresses, clothing, and sentimental items. Most companies simply throw everything away — legally and emotionally careless.

HazWash identifies what can be safely restored, what must be discarded, and legally transports all contaminated items to licensed facilities with full documentation.

💔 Suicide or Trauma Death Cleanup

These situations require extraordinary compassion, privacy, and strict regulatory compliance. Many “trauma cleaning” companies are unlicensed and illegally discard regulated waste.

HazWash provides quiet, private, medically compliant cleanup with proper hazardous waste transport, documentation, and respectful handling of every item.

🚑 Post-Death Hazard Mitigation

After a death, the scene may involve biohazards, chemical releases, airborne bacteria, insects, and structural compromise. General restorers are not permitted to handle most of this.

HazWash secures the scene, removes regulated materials, disinfects structurally, and provides a full post-mitigation hazard report for families, landlords, or insurance.

🧪 Property Restoration After a Death

Before any contractor or restoration company can begin repairs, the scene must be certified safe and free of regulated waste. If contamination remains, the homeowner — not the contractor — carries the legal burden.

HazWash provides clearance documentation, contamination maps, and legal disposal records so reconstruction can begin safely and legally.

⚖️ Why Federal Compliance Matters After a Death

Even if your city doesn’t regulate death cleanup, federal law always does. Decomposition fluids, blood, tissue, odor molecules, insects, and contaminated materials all fall under DOT’s Infectious Substance 6.2 classification for legal handling and transport.
Division 6.2 means the material is known — or reasonably expected — to contain pathogens, requiring strict federal oversight.

What does this mean for you?

• Cleaners and junk haulers illegally discard contaminated material.
• If waste is mishandled, liability attaches to the property owner, not the company.
• Improper disposal remains traceable for decades through federal cradle-to-grave tracking.

HazWash ensures every piece of contaminated material is removed, classified, transported, and disposed of legally — protecting your property, your family, and your long-term liability.
