Forensic cleaning is the specialised process of cleaning and decontaminating environments affected by trauma, crime, death, biohazard waste, or drug residue. It goes far beyond regular cleaning—dealing with blood, bodily fluids, chemical contamination, and other hazardous materials that pose serious health risks if not handled properly. The goal is not just to clean what’s visible, but to ensure the space is thoroughly sanitised, deodorised, and safe for future use.

At Biohaz, forensic cleaning is what we do best. We’re trained to assess and restore high-risk environments with care, discretion, and strict compliance with Australian health and safety standards. Whether it’s a crime scene, meth lab, or unattended death, our team works methodically to return the property to a safe and respectful condition.

You need a forensic cleaner when a property has been affected by a situation involving biohazards—like a crime, trauma, suicide, unattended death, hoarding, or drug contamination. These are scenarios where standard cleaning services are not equipped or legally allowed to handle the risks involved. Forensic cleaners are trained to properly remove, disinfect, and dispose of hazardous materials to protect the health of current and future occupants.

If you’re facing a distressing or hazardous cleanup in Queensland or New South Wales, Biohaz is ready to help. Our team is experienced in dealing with sensitive situations and works with homeowners, real estate agents, landlords, and support workers to ensure a fast, respectful response when it matters most.

The cost of forensic cleaning can vary significantly depending on the type and severity of the situation. Factors such as the extent of contamination, size of the affected area, access to the site, and the presence of hazardous materials (like blood, faeces, or meth residue) all play a role. In general, prices can range from a few hundred dollars for a minor cleanup to several thousand for complex decontamination jobs.

At Biohaz, we provide transparent quotes based on a professional site assessment. We never cut corners, and our pricing reflects the level of care, compliance, and experience we bring to every job. Whether it’s a small apartment or a large-scale cleanup, we’ll give you a clear understanding of the scope and cost upfront.

In many cases, yes—especially when the cleanup is related to trauma, crime, death, or accidental damage. Homeowners’ insurance policies may cover the cost of forensic cleaning, particularly if the incident involves police attendance or property damage. It’s important to check your policy and speak with your insurer, as coverage and claim processes can vary.

Biohaz is happy to assist with insurance-related jobs and can provide detailed reports, invoices, and supporting documentation for claims. We’ve worked with insurers and loss adjusters across a range of scenarios and understand the importance of fast, accurate communication to help you get approved without delays.
