Fewer older adults in Denton County live alone than across Texas, but a death at home still calls for biohazard cleanup when it is not found right away. After the Denton County Sheriff's Office or local police finish at a Denton County property, the owner or family sets up the cleanup, since officers do not clean.
A typical biohazard cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup after an unattended death, including decomposition and odor removal
- Disinfection of surfaces with EPA-registered products matched to the germs involved
- Careful handling of personal property, with keepsakes set aside for the family
- Crime scene and trauma scene cleaning once law enforcement releases the property
- Containment of the work area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

What Argyle Residents Ask About Biohazard Cleanup
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Frequently. If a policy covers the event, it can pay after the deductible. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Office of the Attorney General, pays up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016, with insurance used first and claims filed within three years. Questions go to (800) 983-9933.
Can a landlord or property manager set up biohazard cleanup?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner or insurer.
Can I clean up a biohazard myself?
It is not recommended. Bloodborne pathogens can survive on surfaces, and household products often miss germs that soaked into porous materials. Professional crews use PPE, sealed containers and disinfectants that match the hazard.
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.
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
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.
