Professional biohazard remediation
Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Philadelphia
After a crime, an injury or an unattended death, the police and the coroner leave. The cleanup is left to the family or the property owner. Onyx takes that off your hands, quietly and completely.

Blood and bodily fluids soak into more than you can see: subfloor, drywall, carpet pad, the gaps under baseboard. Household cleaners do not make that safe, and nobody who loved the person involved should have to try.
Onyx cleans, removes and decontaminates the affected area, then repairs what had to come out. You make one call and you do not have to go back into the room until it is done.
What we clean up
- Crime scene cleanup after police release the property

Professional biohazard remediation: how we handle it
Every job follows the same order so nothing is missed and nothing spreads to the rest of the property.
- Full protective gear for the crew and containment of the affected area
- Removal of contaminated porous materials: carpet, pad, drywall, subfloor where needed
- Cleaning and disinfection of every surface that stays
- Contaminated material bagged, sealed and removed from the property
- Deodorization so the smell does not come back
- Rebuild of anything that was removed, by the same crew
Discreet and respectful
We work with families, landlords, property managers and businesses. We keep the conversation simple, we do not ask more than we need to, and we work around the family's schedule.
Many homeowner policies cover biohazard and trauma cleanup. We document the job with photos and a written scope so you have what your insurer asks for.

FAQ
Questions we get on this work
Who is responsible for crime scene cleanup?
Police and emergency services do not clean the scene. It falls to the property owner or family. Onyx does that work so you do not have to.
Does insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Many homeowner and commercial policies cover it. Coverage is your insurer's decision; we provide the photos and written scope they ask for.
How much does biohazard cleanup cost?
It depends on how far contamination spread and what has to be removed. We walk the space and give you a clear price before work starts.
Do I need to be there during the cleanup?
No. Once we have access and your OK on the scope, you do not need to go back into the room until the work is done.
Do you also remove the odor?
Yes. Odor removal is part of the job, after the contaminated material is out and surfaces are disinfected.
