Are biohazard cleaning services available at night?
Yes. You can call Awendaw Biohazard Cleanup Help 24/7, including nights and weekends. An emergency does not wait for office hours, and the team can start planning as soon as you describe the situation.

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What are the OSHA guidelines for biohazard cleanup?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who may contact blood or other infectious material. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE, handling and waste. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
How long does biohazard cleanup take?
A small spill on a hard floor can take a few hours. Larger scenes, soaked carpet and subfloor, or heavy odor take longer. The crew can give a better timeline after seeing the site.
How much does biohazard cleanup cost per hour?
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
