A referral service, described plainly
How this service works
This website does not own a van or employ a cleaner. It exists so that a person in the Santa Maria area who needs biohazard cleanup can reach a company that does it with one phone call, at any hour.
Phone answered all day and all night, seven days a week
From dialling to deciding
You dial the number
You may be asked for your ZIP code or your town, so that you reach a company that works where you are.
A cleanup company answers
It is an independent business with its own name, staff and prices. From here on you are dealing with them, not with this website.
You describe the situation
Where, what kind of place, roughly what happened and whether the scene has been released. Short is fine.
They explain and usually visit
Expect questions about access and timing. A company will normally want to see the place before it commits to a price.
You get a scope and a price
Ask for both in writing. Read what is included and what is not.
You decide
There is no obligation. If you say no, that is the end of it.
How this site is paid
You are never charged by this website. When a call leads to a booked job, the cleanup company or the referral network it belongs to may pay us a fee. That fee is why the service can exist, and it is why you should know that the company you reach has not been chosen by an independent reviewer.
The full statement is in the referral disclosure.
Worth asking the company
- What is the name on your state registration as a trauma scene waste management practitioner?
- Can you send proof of insurance?
- Who will be in my home, and how are they trained?
- What will you remove, and what will you clean in place?
- Where does the waste go?
- What is the price, what could change it, and when is payment due?
How to verify the first answer is explained in California's rules for cleanup companies.
What this site does not do
It does not inspect, license or supervise the companies. It does not set prices, handle payments or take part in insurance claims. It cannot tell you what a policy or the state compensation board will pay. And it gives no medical or legal advice: the pages here point you to the public offices that can.
Whenever suits you
Hand the room to people whose trade this is
Two sentences about the situation are plenty. You then hear how the firm would tackle it and what it would bill. Yes or no is yours alone to say, today or next week.
The number for Santa Maria and the valley
Whoever picks up belongs to a cleanup firm that takes jobs from Guadalupe up to Grover Beach. It is a separate business from this website. Name your town, say what sort of place it is, and ask anything.
