Blood and biohazard cleanup in Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Hattiesburg is in Forrest County, Mississippi. Neighborhoods and districts include downtown and the Historic District. Nearby towns people ask about include Petal and Laurel.

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

Death investigations in Forrest County are handled by the county coroner or medical examiner, depending on how that county is organized. Families are told when a property in Hattiesburg 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.

Hattiesburg has hot, humid summers that speed odor in a closed home, and milder winters that only slow it. Carpet, padding, and drywall in this climate often cannot be wiped and kept.

Hattiesburg housing includes historic downtown houses and student rentals. 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.

Mississippi does not use one national meth-lab license. If a Hattiesburg 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 Hattiesburg 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 Forrest County.
