How Biohazard Cleanup Works in North Carolina
The medical examiner releases first
Each county has medical examiners appointed by the Chief Medical Examiner under G.S. 130A-382. We begin only after the scene is released and can work from the release your family or property manager receives.
North Carolina medical waste rules
15A NCAC 13B .1200 governs medical waste management, excludes households from the definition of a generator and requires regulated medical waste to be treated before disposal. We package contaminated materials separately and never put them in household trash.
Fluids that travel below the surface
Blood and body fluids can pass through carpet and pad into subfloor, and into the crawl space beneath it. Heating and air ducts can carry odor to other rooms, so cleanup includes what is hidden and the air itself.

Situations We Handle, and What To Do First
- A death found after several days in a house, apartment or rental
- Blood or fluids left after an injury or assault
- A scene the medical examiner has released to the family
- Neglect or hoarding with waste, animal contamination or pests
- Needles or drug residue in a rental unit
- Odor that lingers after a death
Stay out of the room, keep children and pets away and do not try to clean anything yourself. Wait for the medical examiner or police to release the scene, then call (336) 705-6767. We will speak with you directly and handle the rest.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
Scope depends on how much fluid there is, how long it sat and what it reached. A small spot on tile may take a few hours, while fluid that reached pad, subfloor or a wall needs those materials removed and replaced.
Many scenes finish in a day or two. Long-undiscovered deaths and hoarding take longer because of odor, volume and duct treatment.
What We Clean and Restore After a Biohazard Scene
- Carpet, pad, hardwood and subfloors
- Mattresses, upholstery and salvageable contents
- Drywall, baseboards and wall cavities
- Bathrooms, kitchens and tile
- Ducts that carried odor
- Rental units and shared hallways
Insurance and Documentation for Crime Scene Cleanup
