When a traumatic event happens at a home or business in Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, or anywhere in Washtenaw County, it often leaves behind more than emotional pain — it can leave dangerous contamination and harsh cleanup needs. If you need professional biohazard or crime-scene remediation, Advanced Trauma Cleanup is here to help.
This guide explains what affects cleanup costs in our region, what you can expect, and how families or property owners in Washtenaw County can prepare.
Why Cleanup Costs Vary
No two biohazard scenes are the same. Several factors influence how much cleanup will cost:
• Size of the affected area (single room vs. entire building)
• Type of contamination: blood, bodily fluids, decomposition, hoarding waste, etc.
• Degree of contamination and penetration (surface only, or porous surfaces like carpet/wood)
• Scope of sanitization, odor removal, and restoration needed
• Proper hazardous-waste disposal and regulatory compliance
• Emergency response time or after-hours call-outs
• Whether structural cleanup or repair is required
Because of these variables, cleanup pricing must be assessed case by case.
Typical Price Ranges in Ypsilanti & Washtenaw County
Here are approximate 2025 local price ranges for common types of cleanup that Advanced Trauma Cleanup handles:
Cleanup Type | Estimated Price Range* |
Blood spill cleanup | $900 – $3,500 |
Crime-scene cleanup | $1,500 – $7,500 |
Suicide or trauma cleanup | $2,500 – $10,000 |
Unattended / natural death cleanup | $3,500 – $15,000 |
Hoarding cleanup involving biohazards | $4,000 – $20,000+ |
Decomposition odor remediation + sanitization | $1,200 – $8,000 |
*Final cost depends on severity, disposal needs, and whether repairs or property restoration are required.
What Affects the Final Cost
• Extent of contamination and affected materials (walls, flooring, furniture)
• Level of biological hazard (bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, decomposition)
• Need for deep sanitization, odor neutralization or decontamination of porous materials
• Waste disposal compliance: biohazard waste must be disposed of safely per laws and regulations
• Whether emergency dispatch or same-day response is needed
• Size and type of property: residential vs. commercial, single-room vs. multiple areas
• Additional services such as structural clean-up, deodorization, restoration
Can Insurance or Assistance Programs Help Cover Costs?
In many cases, yes. Homeowners, renters, or commercial insurance policies often cover cleanup costs when incidents involve:
• Accidental injuries
• Crime-related events
• Unattended or natural death
• Suicide or self-harm
At Advanced Trauma Cleanup, we assist you in:
• Documenting the scene and cleanup process
• Working directly with insurers or adjusters
• Minimizing out-of-pocket costs for you
Additionally, for crime-related incidents, state or local victim support services may offer financial help.
Why Professional Cleanup Matters — Not DIY
Attempting to clean a trauma- or biohazard scene yourself can put you and your loved ones at serious risk:
• Blood or bodily fluids may carry pathogens dangerous to human health
• Contaminants can linger in porous surfaces, under flooring, in cracks — invisible to the naked eye
• Improper disposal of hazardous waste may violate environmental or public-health laws
• Emotional burden and trauma — cleaning such scenes alone can be traumatic and unsafe
Professional cleanup by trained, certified technicians ensures:
• Safe removal of biohazards
• Proper sanitization and decontamination
• Correct disposal of contaminated waste
• Restoration of safety and livability
