How far it spread
A small area on tile is quicker than fluids that ran under carpet, behind baseboards or into the next room.
What it soaked into
Carpet, pad, drywall, subfloor and mattresses usually have to be cut out and replaced rather than cleaned.
How long before it was found
After an unattended death, time makes the damage go deeper and adds odor treatment.
How the waste leaves
In California, trauma scene waste goes to a permitted medical waste facility. The volume affects the cost.
Access
Stairs, upper-floor apartments, tight spaces and a vehicle at a tow yard all add time.
Clutter
In a hoarded home, the amount that has to be sorted and moved is often the largest part.
What to ask for
- A written scope that lists rooms, materials to be removed and the disinfectant used.
- A price, or the basis for the price, before the work starts.
- What happens if they find more damage once flooring is lifted.
- Whether rebuilding (new drywall, flooring) is included or separate.
