Nipomo, San Luis Obispo County
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Nipomo
Nipomo is the next town north of Santa Maria, and a cleanup company working in one can usually come to the other. The public offices are another matter, because Nipomo is in a different county. Everything official after a death in Nipomo runs through San Luis Obispo County.

The Sheriff here is also the Coroner
Nipomo is unincorporated, so the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office polices it, and because the elected Sheriff is the Coroner too, its deputies are deputy coroners. The office's answers for families make a point of this: a uniformed deputy looking into a death does not mean anyone thinks it is suspicious. It is how every unexpected death is handled.
The Sheriff’s contact page gives (805) 781-4550, option 3, for reporting something that is not an emergency, and lists a South Station at 1681 Front Street in Oceano, (805) 473-7100. The Coroner's Office has its own number: (805) 781-4513.
Where your relative is taken
Once the deputies have finished at the house, the person goes either to the Coroner's Office or to a local mortuary the next of kin has named. If no one is there to choose, an on-call mortuary steps in and keeps the person in its care until the family decides. You are not committed to that mortuary.
The Coroner's Office describes itself as a temporary holding facility and does not allow viewing. A viewing, if the family wants one, is arranged with the mortuary.
Arranging the cleanup
When the house has been released, call the number on this page and say you are in Nipomo. A company can usually reach most of the town; give your street so they can confirm.
If the death or injury resulted from a crime, San Luis Obispo County's Victim/Witness Assistance Center, part of the District Attorney's office, helps eligible victims apply to the state for crime-related expenses. Our crime scene cleanup page explains the condition that matters most: the company has to be on the state's registered list.
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.
