Common Questions

FAQs for Families, Property Owners, and Partners

This FAQ addresses the most common questions people have when they first reach out to Code Three Clean for biohazard, trauma, or hoarding cleanup support. 

In many cases, yes.

Homeowners insurance, auto insurance, and business liability policies often cover biohazard cleanup depending on the situation. We can assist you in filing a claim and provide all necessary documentation to ensure a smooth and easy service to you.

Cost depends on several factors such as the size of the affected area, level of contamination, equipment needed, and disposal requirements. Cost will differ drastically from a full house hoarding cleanup to a hotel room decontamination. However, we always provide upfront estimates before starting work, and if you provide a written estimate from another company, we will beat their price by 10%.

Yes. Our technicians are trained in OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, and we are compliant with EPA, DOT, and local regulations regarding the handling and disposal of biohazardous materials as well as trained with IICRC.

Be wary of other bio-hazard cleaning companies that advertise multiple certifications that have no merit or meaning in an attempt to charge significantly more for their services.
