Crime Scene Cleanup in Gulf Coast Mississippi and Alabama
After a trauma or an unattended death, families, landlords and property managers on the Gulf Coast need the scene cleaned safely, privately, and within the waste rules of the state where the property sits. This branch covers two states, and the rules differ at the Mississippi and Alabama line. Heat and humidity work against every hour of delay, and air conditioning that keeps running can carry odor and contamination beyond the room where it started. 911 Restoration of Gulf Coast Mississippi responds around the clock in Gulfport, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Vancleave, Gautier, Pascagoula, Moss Point, Mobile, Theodore, Daphne, Fairhope, and Foley, and across the communities between them. Crews reach Moss Point, Mobile, Theodore, Daphne, Fairhope and Foley from the Gulfport office and are dispatched right away.

Call (601) 463-6008 for immediate help.
How Biohazard Cleanup Works on the Gulf Coast
Mississippi medical waste rules
In Mississippi, the Department of Environmental Quality has not developed comprehensive regulations for the transportation and management of infectious medical waste. Off-site management falls under the Mississippi Solid Waste Law and the Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management Regulations, and the State Department of Health regulates on-site storage. Contaminated materials are packaged and handled as regulated waste, never placed in household trash or a dumpster.
Alabama medical waste rules
In Alabama, a medical waste transporter must hold a transporter permit from the Alabama Department of Environmental Management under Administrative Code 335-17-8. Because the rules change at the state line, a job in Alabama is planned around Alabama requirements and a job in Mississippi around Mississippi's.
Heat, humidity and contamination below the surface
A warm, humid climate means an unattended death that goes unnoticed for even a short time affects flooring, subfloor and indoor air quickly. Blood and bodily fluids soak through carpet into pad and subfloor and wick into drywall and baseboards. We trace contamination below the surface, remove affected materials until clean surfaces remain, then disinfect what stays and treat the air and HVAC system.

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 (601) 463-6008. 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.

- Furniture and mattresses
