Discreet, certified crime scene and biohazard cleanup across Georgia — unmarked vehicles, compassionate technicians, and in most cases $0 out of pocket since we bill your insurance directly.
Trauma cleanup isn't regular cleaning. In Georgia, it involves federal safety standards, state and county waste rules, coordination with authorities, and insurance claims that can go wrong without the right documentation. And it all happens while families are grieving and property managers are short on time. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Insurance and Billing: Most Georgia Customers Pay $0 Out of Pocket: Most Georgia homeowners and renters policies cover biohazard remediation after a death, crime, or traumatic injury, but only if the loss is documented correctly. We start working with your insurer right away. We photograph the scene, write a detailed scope of work, itemize the materials we remove, and submit everything directly to your carrier. In most cases the family or property owner pays nothing out of pocket. We never promise a specific coverage amount, because every policy is different. What we do promise is to explain clearly what's typically covered before any work begins. If a deductible or uninsured portion remains, we offer financing so no one has to choose between a safe home and a tight budget. If the event was a violent crime, we can also point you to Georgia's Crime Victims Compensation Program, which may help.
Georgia and Federal Regulations on Biohazards and Medical Waste: Biohazard work in Georgia follows federal OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards (29 CFR 1910.1030), along with state health and environmental rules. Those standards set requirements for protective equipment, containment, and decontamination. Regulated medical waste is a separate layer. Rules for packaging, transport, manifesting, and disposal can differ from one county to the next, so what's acceptable in Chatham County may not match the process in Fulton or Richmond. We handle that compliance for you. Every bag of contaminated material is packaged, tracked, and taken to a permitted disposal facility, with a paper trail to prove it. That documentation protects you if your insurer or a future buyer ever asks questions. It also keeps hazardous waste out of household trash, where it puts sanitation workers and the public at risk.
Coordinating With Law Enforcement, Coroners, and Property Managers: Cleanup can't start until a scene is released. In Georgia, that may involve a county coroner, a medical examiner's office such as those serving metro Atlanta counties, or local police and sheriff's investigators. We know how that handoff works and can confirm the release for you, so you don't have to make difficult phone calls. Rentals and condos come with extra parties. A cleanup in a Sandy Springs high-rise or a Savannah duplex may need landlord approval, HOA access rules, and a plan for shared spaces or HVAC returns that could carry odor. We communicate with each party directly. Many of our referrals come from law enforcement, victim advocates, and funeral homes, because we make a terrible situation simpler for everyone involved.
Discretion and Fast Response Across Georgia: Privacy matters everywhere, but it matters most in smaller communities where neighbors notice everything. Our vehicles have no logos or biohazard markings, and our technicians arrive in plain clothes. They put on protective gear only after they're inside. Whether you're in a downtown Atlanta apartment or a quiet street in Columbus, nobody on your block needs to know what happened. Speed matters too. Georgia's heat and humidity can make conditions worse quickly, especially when a death went undiscovered. That's why we prioritize urgent dispatch to Athens, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, and the metro Atlanta suburbs, including Roswell, Johns Creek, and South Fulton.
Every service below is decontamination work only. We remove, disinfect, deodorize, and dispose. We don't do construction or repairs. If any rebuilding is needed after we finish, that's a separate job for a contractor of your choosing. We'll give you the documentation they and your insurer will need.
After law enforcement releases the scene, we clean up blood, tissue, fingerprint powder, and other residue from violent crimes, homicides, and assaults. Our goal is to make the space safe again and help your family regain some sense of normalcy.
When a death goes undiscovered, we remove decomposition fluids, contaminated materials, and odor sources so the home or unit is safe to enter, settle, or rent again.
We remediate any situation involving blood, bodily fluids, human or animal waste, or other infectious material in homes, rentals, vehicles, and commercial spaces.
We clean up after serious injuries, accidents, and traumatic events at home, so families don't have to face what's left behind.
We safely remove blood from carpet, upholstery, hard floors, walls, and vehicles, whether it's a small spill or extensive contamination.
We restore a safe environment after a suicide and treat your family and your privacy with deep compassion.
We clean out hoarded homes that contain biohazards and work with families to preserve important documents and keepsakes.
We get rid of stubborn odors from decomposition, biohazards, and hoarding by removing the source, not covering it up.
We collect, package, transport, and dispose of sharps and regulated medical waste left in homes or rental units.
No two scenes are the same, but the situations Georgia families and landlords call us about tend to fall into a few categories. Knowing what you're dealing with, and how urgent it is, helps you make a calm decision when you have to make it quickly.
An unattended death is one where a person died alone and wasn't found for days or weeks. As the body decomposes, fluids and gases soak into flooring and furnishings. This creates serious biological hazards and an odor that ordinary cleaning products can't remove.
Homicides, assaults, and other violent incidents can leave blood and tissue across several rooms. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. It soaks into porous surfaces and often travels farther than what you can see.
A suicide leaves behind biohazards that families should never have to clean up themselves. Blood, tissue, and sometimes projectile contamination can affect a room in ways that aren't obvious to someone without training.
Severe hoarding often comes with animal waste, rotting food, pests, mold-prone clutter, and sometimes human waste or used sharps. Once that happens, it's no longer a decluttering job. It's a biohazard remediation project.
Odors from decomposition and biological contamination are made of compounds that bind to surfaces and travel through air pathways. Air fresheners and household cleaners only mask them for a short time.
Used needles, soiled dressings, and other regulated medical waste can be left behind after home healthcare, illness, or drug use. These items carry a risk of puncture injury and infection, and they can't legally go in household trash.
A fall, a serious cut, or a medical emergency can leave a smaller amount of blood on floors, carpets, or vehicles. It may look manageable, but it still carries bloodborne pathogen risk.
You shouldn't have to figure any of this out alone. Here's exactly what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough, including who does what and how insurance fits in.

We work directly with homeowners and renters insurance companies, so in most cases you never see a bill. We document the scene thoroughly, itemize the scope, and submit the claim ourselves, so grieving families don't have to argue with adjusters. We won't guarantee a specific coverage amount, because policies vary. We will tell you upfront what's typically covered and what your deductible looks like. Many families tell us that knowing this early on took a huge weight off at the worst moment of their lives.
Our vehicles have no logos, no biohazard markings, and nothing that would draw attention on your street. Technicians arrive in plain clothes and put on protective gear inside. This matters in a busy Atlanta condo building, and it matters even more in smaller communities where people talk. Your family's loss stays private. We don't talk about jobs with neighbors, and we don't post about your property anywhere.
We serve 10 Georgia cities, from Athens to Savannah and Columbus to Augusta, so we know how things are done locally. Scene release goes through different authorities in different counties. Medical waste transport and disposal rules vary by jurisdiction. Condo associations in Sandy Springs and landlords in Macon each have their own expectations. We handle all of it so you don't have to learn it on the fly.
We do one thing: decontaminate. We aren't a restoration or construction company, and we won't upsell you on remodeling. Our job is to remove contaminated materials, disinfect, deodorize, and verify that the space is safe. If rebuilding is needed afterward, we'll give you clear documentation for whichever contractor you choose. That focus keeps our scopes honest and our results thorough.
Families making this call have never priced a cleanup like this before, and some companies take advantage of that. We don't. You'll get a written scope of work that explains what we're removing and why, before we start. We won't pressure you, inflate the damage, or push services you don't need. If something changes once we're on site, we explain it and get your approval first.
Our work follows OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards (29 CFR 1910.1030) and applicable Georgia health and environmental rules. Contaminated waste is packaged, manifested, and taken to permitted disposal facilities, never left in household trash. You get records showing it was handled correctly, which protects you with your insurer, your tenants, and any future buyer.
Georgia's heat makes some situations worse by the hour, so we move quickly. Speed never replaces kindness, though. We take time to explain each step, return personal items whenever we can clean them, and work with funeral homes, victim advocates, and law enforcement so families get support from every direction. Financing is available for deductibles or any uninsured costs.

Here's the most important point: in most cases, homeowners or renters insurance covers this work, and we bill the insurer directly, so most customers pay nothing out of pocket. These ranges show what drives the cost, so you know what to expect.
How far blood or fluids have spread, and into what materials, has the biggest effect on cost. A small spill on tile is a short job. Fluids that have soaked through carpet, pad, and into the subfloor mean more materials to remove and more disposal. Unattended deaths, especially in Georgia's summer heat, usually involve the widest contamination and so the highest cost.
The longer contamination sits, the deeper it goes. A scene cleaned within a day or two is usually much simpler than one discovered after a week or more. Heat and humidity speed up decomposition and the spread of odor, which can increase both the amount of material removed and the time spent on deodorization.
Regulated medical waste is billed by volume and has to be packaged, manifested, and transported according to county rules. Porous materials like mattresses, upholstered furniture, and carpet usually can't be saved once they're contaminated, so the more of them involved, the higher the disposal cost. We itemize all of it for your insurer.
A detached house is usually simpler than a high-rise condo, where we may need to plan elevator access, protect common areas, and coordinate with HOA management. Shared walls and HVAC returns can extend odor treatment. Landlord or property manager requirements can also affect scheduling.
Persistent odors may need more than one round of professional deodorization, such as hydroxyl or ozone treatment. Each round adds time and equipment. We verify the results before signing off, so you aren't paying for a second cleanup down the road.
If insurance doesn't cover everything, for example a deductible or a policy exclusion, we offer financing so you can pay over time. We'll explain your options before any work starts.
In most cases, yes. Homeowners and renters policies typically cover biohazard remediation after a death, crime, or traumatic injury, and most of our customers pay $0 out of pocket. We bill your insurer directly and handle the documentation they need, including photos, an itemized scope, and disposal records. Every policy is different, so we never promise a specific coverage amount. We'll review your situation and tell you upfront what's typically covered and whether a deductible applies. If there's an uninsured portion, we offer financing. Victims of violent crime may also qualify for help through Georgia's Crime Victims Compensation Program.
It depends on the scope. A small blood cleanup might run $500 to $1,800. Crime scene and suicide cleanups usually fall between $2,500 and $8,000. Unattended death and severe hoarding jobs can exceed $15,000 to $20,000 when contamination is extensive. The biggest factors are how far fluids have spread, how long they sat, and how much material has to be removed and disposed of. You'll get a written scope before work begins, with no surprises and no pressure. Financing is available for deductibles and any uninsured costs.
Most blood and trauma cleanups are finished in a single visit, often within a few hours. Crime scene and suicide cleanups typically take one to two days. Unattended death cases can take two to four days, depending on how far contamination has spread and how much odor treatment is needed. Large hoarding cleanups may run a week or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the assessment and keep you updated, especially if you're a landlord trying to get a unit back on the market.
Yes. If law enforcement, a county coroner, or a medical examiner was involved, the scene has to be officially released before anyone can clean it. In Georgia, this process varies by county and agency. We can confirm the release status for you, so you don't have to make those calls. Once it's released, cleanup can usually begin right away. Starting too early can interfere with an investigation, so we always verify first.
Yes. Blood-contaminated materials and sharps are regulated medical waste. They can't go in household trash. Federal OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards (29 CFR 1910.1030) govern how the work is done safely. Georgia's state health and environmental rules, along with county-level requirements, govern how the waste is packaged, manifested, transported, and disposed of, and those rules vary by jurisdiction. We follow the requirements wherever your property is, deliver waste to permitted facilities, and give you records showing it was handled correctly.
No. Our vehicles are unmarked, with no company logos or biohazard symbols. Our technicians arrive in plain clothes and put on protective equipment only once they're inside. We keep waste containers out of sight while loading, and we don't discuss your situation with anyone. That discretion matters in apartment buildings in Atlanta and Sandy Springs, and it matters even more in smaller communities where word travels fast.
We strongly advise against it. Blood and bodily fluids can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and other pathogens. Household cleaners don't reliably neutralize them, and contamination is often hidden beneath surfaces. DIY cleanup also leaves you without the documentation insurers expect and makes proper waste disposal very difficult. Since insurance covers professional cleanup in most cases, doing it yourself rarely saves money. Most importantly, no family member should have to clean up after a loved one's death.
Call as soon as the scene is released or as soon as you notice signs of an undiscovered death, such as a strong sweet odor, insects, or staining. In Georgia's heat, every day of delay lets contamination and odor spread further, which can affect neighboring units and make remediation bigger. Landlords and property managers should call before entering the unit or letting maintenance staff in. We'll coordinate with you, any HOA, and the tenant's family, document everything for insurance, and get the unit decontaminated and ready to turn over.
You don't have to handle this alone or figure out the insurance yourself. Call Integrity Crime Scene Services and we'll take it from here, quietly and carefully, and in most cases at no cost to you.
