Crime Scene Cleanup in Northeast Georgia and Greenville, South Carolina
After a trauma, an unattended death, or a violent incident, families, landlords, and property managers need the scene cleaned safely, privately, and in line with the biohazard waste rules of the state where the property sits. Northeast Georgia and the Greenville, South Carolina side of the territory fall under two different sets of rules, and the work has to follow whichever applies. 911 Restoration of Northeast Georgia responds around the clock in Lawrenceville, Gainesville, Duluth, Buford, Suwanee, Loganville, Dacula, Athens, Monroe, Winder, and Snellville in Georgia, and Greenville, South Carolina. General restoration practice drives the work: fluids that soak into porous materials, odor that travels through the HVAC system, and waste that cannot go out with household trash.

How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Northeast Georgia and Greenville
Georgia biomedical waste rule
Georgia governs biomedical waste under rule 391-3-4-.15, part of the state's Solid Waste Management Rules. Its sections cover generation, storage and containment, transfer to off-site treatment or disposal facilities, treatment, and disposal. Contaminated materials from a Georgia scene are packaged, transported, and disposed of under that rule, never put out with household trash.
South Carolina's infectious waste regulation
For a job in Greenville, South Carolina's infectious waste regulation, R.61-105, is the rule that applies, administered by the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services. It addresses segregation, packaging, labeling, and storage. We handle contaminated materials from a Greenville scene under that regulation, which differs from the Georgia rule.
Contamination below the surface
Blood and bodily fluids soak through carpet into pad and subfloor and wick into drywall and framing. This is general restoration practice, not a local condition: surface cleaning alone leaves the source behind. We trace the contamination and remove affected materials until clean surfaces remain, then disinfect and deodorize, including the HVAC system when odor has traveled through the ducts.

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 (706) 374-9650. 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.

- Flooring, carpet, and subfloors

- Furniture and mattresses

- Vehicles
