From the first call to the final walk‑through, Code Three Clean follows a clear, compassionate process to restore safety and peace of mind.
When you reach out, a team member gathers key details about what happened, who is affected, and what areas are involved so we can determine the right response. For emergencies, a first responder–staffed crew is dispatched 24/7; for non‑urgent cases, we schedule a visit at a time that works best for you.
Once on site, the team conducts a discreet walkthrough to identify visible and hidden hazards, structural impacts, and safety risks. We then explain what needs to be done, answer questions, and provide a clear, written estimate—often with options to work directly with your insurance.
Before cleaning begins, technicians set up safety zones, PPE, and containment barriers to keep unaffected areas clean and prevent cross‑contamination. All work follows strict OSHA, EPA, and CDC‑aligned protocols, just as first responders would expect on an active scene.
The team removes biohazards, debris, and contaminated materials, then cleans, disinfects, and deodorizes all affected surfaces. Whether the scene involves trauma, hoarding, infectious disease, or odors, we use professional‑grade equipment to restore a safe environment.
After cleanup, we walk the space with you to review the work, address any concerns, and explain what was done and why. When applicable, we help document the loss for insurance and make sure you know what next steps and resources are available.
At Code Three Clean, biohazard cleanup is more than a job; it’s a responsibility. Our team of active and retired first responders brings unmatched experience, compassion, and attention to detail to every situation. We guide families and businesses through one of life’s hardest moments with expertise, care, and respect.
We know biohazard situations are stressful, overwhelming, and often confusing. These answers address the questions families and businesses most frequently ask, so you can understand the process and feel supported every step of the way.
Cleanup can often begin as soon as the area is accessible and safe for entry, and Code Three Trauma Clean offers 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations. After you contact us, we coordinate dispatch and perform an assessment to confirm scope and the safest entry plan. Timelines vary based on affected materials and access conditions, but we prioritize getting you moving quickly.
Tear gas residue commonly affects walls, floors, fabrics, upholstery, carpets, and sometimes HVAC-adjacent surfaces. Porous materials can hold residue longer than non-porous surfaces, which is why cleanup often requires more than surface wiping. Our assessment identifies where residue is likely present so decontamination is targeted.
The cost depends on the size of the affected area, the number of rooms, the types of materials involved, and the level of decontamination required. If porous items need treatment or removal, scope increases accordingly. After an assessment, we can provide a clearer pricing range based on your specific conditions.
Keep people out of the affected area if possible and avoid moving through it with shoes or clothing that could spread residue. If you can do so safely, identify which rooms or items seem most affected and share that information when you call. If the space is ready for entry, we will guide the next steps for safe access and containment.
Yes, we can assist with insurance coordination by providing documentation that supports the cleanup work performed. What you need can vary by policy, so we will help you understand what to request and how to keep records organized. If you are working with a property manager or business policy, we can also align with your documentation needs.
After cleanup, the main goal is reduced risk and safer re-occupancy, especially for anyone sensitive to irritants. We may recommend specific aftercare steps based on the materials affected and the decontamination actions completed. If you want, we can discuss practical next steps for ventilation, cleaning of remaining items, and when it is safe for normal use.
