Remedy Restoration provides biohazard cleanup across a 40-mile radius of Watsonville, covering 16 cities in Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties. We are registered with the California Department of Public Health as a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner, TSW #711 — the registration California requires before a company can commercially remove blood or other potentially infectious material from a property. That registration also obliges us to route waste through a permitted medical waste facility, so what leaves your property is tracked to a licensed endpoint rather than a dumpster. Typical arrival is two to three hours, at any hour.
Biohazard cleanup covers any situation where blood, bodily fluids or other potentially infectious material is present. On the Monterey Bay Area that usually means one of the following.
The common thread is that none of these are cleaning jobs. The material involved is regulated medical waste, and both its removal and its disposal are governed by California’s Medical Waste Management Act.
Call us and we are typically on site within two to three hours, anywhere from Scotts Valley to Carmel Valley.
Remedy is registered with the California Department of Public Health as a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner, TSW #711, under the Medical Waste Management Act. In California that registration is not decoration. It is what legally permits a company to commercially remove blood and other potentially infectious material from a scene.
It also carries an obligation that matters to you directly: a registered practitioner must maintain a standing relationship with a registered medical waste transporter or a permitted treatment facility. Waste from your property is tracked to a licensed endpoint. It does not go in a dumpster, and it does not go to landfill.
If you are comparing quotes, this is the one thing worth checking before anything else. Ask any company you speak to for their TSW registration number, and check it against the state registry. A general cleaning company cannot lawfully do this work, and a low quote from one is low for that reason.
To be straightforward about it: we do not bill your insurance company directly. You pay us, and you claim it back.
Biohazard cleanup is frequently covered under homeowner and commercial property policies, particularly following a death or a crime. What we do is make the claim as easy as possible to win — dated photographs, a written scope of work, itemized costs and the disposal documentation your carrier will ask for — and we speak to adjusters directly when they have questions.
There is a second route many families are never told about. For violent crime, the California Victim Compensation Board can reimburse crime scene cleanup for eligible direct victims and for derivative victims, meaning family members and loved ones. It exists so that families are not left paying for this out of pocket. We can point you to the application, and we provide the documentation it asks for.
We work a 40-mile radius from Watsonville, covering 16 communities across Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties. Typical arrival is two to three hours anywhere in that area.

Biohazard cleanup involves the removal, sanitation, and proper disposal of materials contaminated with harmful biological substances, including blood, bodily fluids, pathogens, chemicals, and hazardous waste. This can include situations such as crime scenes, medical emergencies, or accidents.

You can, legally, in your own home — but it is rarely a good idea and it is not what most people want to be doing. The risks are bloodborne pathogens, contamination spread through the building, and material soaking into subfloor and wall cavities where household cleaning cannot reach it. Anything removed also becomes regulated waste that cannot simply go in the bin. For a workplace, OSHA requirements make it a different question again.
Most residential jobs are completed in one to three days. What drives the timeline is how far material has traveled and how much porous material has to come out — a contained incident on a hard floor is a very different job from one that has reached subfloor across several rooms. We give you a scope and a timeline before work starts, not after.
Not from us. We arrive in unmarked vehicles and our team does not discuss the job on site. Discretion is part of the service rather than an extra, and for unattended deaths and crime scenes it is usually the first thing families ask about.
