Yes. In most cases, suicide cleanup is covered by homeowners’, renters’, or commercial property insurance. HazWash™ works directly with your insurance company, provides full documentation, and can often bill the carrier directly so you’re not left with unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

👉 Starting rates are typically $2,500+, depending on the size of the affected area, how long it’s been left, and the materials impacted. Much of this cost comes from required compliance steps like packaging, manifests, hazmat transportation (classified as 6.2 infectious waste), disposal fees, and reporting — not just labor.
Good news: Insurance often offsets most or all of this cost.

The sooner, the better. The longer blood and biological matter remain, the more they soak into flooring, drywall, or HVAC, driving up costs and making the property unsafe. Immediate cleanup not only restores safety faster but also protects your property value.

No. We arrive in unmarked vehicles and operate discreetly. From the outside, it looks like a routine service call — never a biohazard cleanup.

DIY trauma cleanup isn’t just unsafe — it can be criminal. Bloodborne pathogens, infectious diseases, and hazardous waste laws exist for a reason. Mishandling biohazard waste can lead to:

❌ OSHA Violations (29 CFR 1910.1030 – Bloodborne Pathogens Standard):
If you or an employee clean without proper training, PPE, or documentation, OSHA can fine you $15,000+ per violation.

❌ DOT Hazmat Violations (49 CFR 172.704 – Infectious Waste Transport):
Putting biohazard bags in a regular trash bin or vehicle isn’t just unsafe — it’s illegal. DOT fines can reach $80,000 per violation, doubled if someone is injured.

❌ EPA / State Environmental Violations (RCRA Subtitle C & Michigan Part 111/115):
Improper disposal can cost $25,000+ per day, per violation. That’s every day waste sits or is mishandled.

❌ Criminal Liability:
Knowingly mishandling or illegally dumping biohazard waste can result in misdemeanor or felony charges, with penalties ranging from hefty fines to jail time. Courts take this seriously, especially if exposure or harm occurs.

👉 Bottom line: a “cheap DIY cleanup” can snowball into $100,000+ in fines, lawsuits, and even jail time. Certified cleanup protects your health, property, and freedom.
