Usually not for hoarding on its own. Most policies exclude damage from neglect. Insurance often does cover the biohazard portion after a death, and sometimes covers damage from a fire, burst pipe or animal infestation that the clutter made worse. For an unattended death, ask the company whether it bills the insurer directly; many biohazard firms do. Get the claim number before work starts.
Biohazard and unattended death jobs are usually same-day or next-day; 14 companys on this page list 24-hour availability. Hoarding and estate cleanouts are scheduled, typically within one to two weeks, and a large job takes two to five working days on site.
Hoarding cleanup is not a licensed trade in most states. What matters is whether the crew has bloodborne-pathogen training, proper insurance, and a legal disposal route for any medical or hazardous waste. Ask every company those three questions. Beyond state rules, look for OSHA bloodborne-pathogen training and, for trauma and death scenes, ABRA membership or IICRC certification. Certifications shown on a listing here were entered by the company owner.
Nationally, $1,500 to $6,000 for a single room; large or multi-room scenes run higher. The cost driver is the volume of contaminated material that must be removed and disposed of as regulated medical waste, plus disinfection and any structural removal (subfloor, drywall). Most companies will bill homeowner insurance directly for trauma scenes.
The property owner is responsible, not the police or the city. Homeowner or renter insurance usually covers it under the property-damage section. Many states have a crime victim compensation program that reimburses cleanup after a violent crime; ask the company, they deal with these claims regularly.
