Blood and biohazard cleanup in Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is in Chatham County, Georgia. Neighborhoods and districts include the Historic District, Victorian District, Ardsley Park, and midtown. Nearby towns people ask about include Garden City, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Port Wentworth, Rincon, and Hinesville.

A request can cover a house, apartment, business, or vehicle in Savannah and those nearby communities. Matching does not mean a truck is stationed in Savannah.

Death investigations in Chatham County are handled by the county coroner or medical examiner, depending on how that county is organized. Families are told when a property in Savannah can be entered. We are not that office and are not law enforcement. The person who controls the property requests a referral after the release.

Until that release, do not enter to clean, do not throw belongings away, and do not post images of the scene. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988.

The long hot, humid season around Savannah speeds odor and the spread of fluids into porous materials. Storms and flooding can move contamination into more of the building. Mild winters slow it only a little.

Savannah housing includes historic row houses, cottages, and raised homes. We do not give legal advice about who is responsible. After a scene is released, the person who controls the property usually requests the referral. That is often the owner or the manager for a rental, and a family member when the household still controls the home. A tenant should not be expected to wipe blood or decomposition residue. Neither one is a reason for the family to do the cleanup.

Georgia does not use one national meth-lab license. If a Savannah property was used to manufacture drugs, that is a different referral from blood or an unattended death. The partner follows the health or environmental direction that applies, or declines, and can provide a clearance or completion report from the cleanup company.

An independent partner that accepts a Savannah referral typically contains the area, removes porous materials it is prepared to take, disinfects what can stay, and arranges disposal through its own channels. Odor work comes after the source is gone. That company does the work and sends its own invoice. We are not paid by the customer. There is no local office in Chatham County.
