What does professional biohazard cleanup involve?
Will my insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
In many cases, yes. Biohazard cleanup is frequently covered under homeowners insurance or commercial property policies, depending on the circumstances of the incident. McMahon Services is a preferred contractor with major insurance carriers including Allstate, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, and USAA. We work directly with your adjuster, handle all required documentation, and manage the claims process on your behalf — so you’re not navigating paperwork during an already difficult situation.
How long does biohazard remediation typically take?
The timeline depends on the size of the affected area, the type of biohazard, and whether any structural materials need to be removed and replaced. A contained scene in a single room may be fully remediated within a few hours. Larger or more complex situations — such as an undiscovered death, extensive sewage contamination, or multi-room affected areas — can take one to several days. McMahon Services provides a clear assessment and realistic timeline from the initial visit so you always know what to expect.
Is it safe to be inside the property during biohazard cleanup?
No — it is not safe for occupants to be inside a property during active biohazard remediation. McMahon Services establishes containment zones and uses specialized equipment and chemical agents that require the area to be vacated during the process. We work as quickly as possible to complete the remediation so the property can be safely re-occupied, and we provide clearance documentation once the scene has been fully decontaminated and verified safe.
