How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Colorado
Contaminated flooring, drywall and bedding
Under Colorado's medical waste rules, trauma scene waste includes contaminated flooring, drywall, bedding and protective equipment. Blood and fluids soak into porous materials, so we remove what cannot be cleaned and package it for lawful disposal.
Household exemption does not cover cleanup sites
Household medical waste generators are exempt under the state rules, but trauma scene cleanup sites are listed as medical waste generators. That is why a cleanup should be done by trained crews, not with household trash bags.
Odor and pathogens left behind
Bloodborne pathogens and odor can remain in subfloors and wall cavities after the visible mess is gone. We disinfect surfaces, treat hidden areas and use air filtration so the room is safe to reenter.

When You Need Biohazard Cleanup, and What To Do First
- A death that was not discovered right away
- Blood or bodily fluids from an injury, suicide, or assault
- A scene released by police after an investigation
- Hoarding conditions with waste, animal contamination, or pests
- Needles or drug paraphernalia in a home or rental unit
- Persistent odor after a death in an apartment or house
Do not try to clean blood or bodily fluids yourself, and keep family members, tenants, and pets out of the area. Wait until law enforcement releases the scene, then call (719) 220-1040. We will speak with you directly and handle the cleanup with care.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how much contamination there is, how long it sat, and which materials it reached. A small area on a hard surface may be cleaned in hours. Contamination that reached carpet pad, subfloor, or drywall requires removal and replacement.
Most scenes are completed in one to two days. Unattended deaths and hoarding situations can take longer because of odor treatment, the volume of materials, and sorting personal items with the family. We set the schedule with you and keep it private.
For landlords and property managers, we coordinate access, document the condition of the unit before and after the work, and keep tenant information confidential. When personal items are found, we set them aside for the family rather than discarding them, and we ask before removing anything that may matter to them. Nothing about the work is shared beyond what your insurer needs.
What We Clean and Restore
- Flooring, carpet, and subfloors
