A cleanup company may not cover every address in these codes, so the call is what settles it. Forest Acres, Cayce, West Columbia, Irmo and Lexington are covered too.
Just outside these places? Call and ask. Say where the property is, and you will know before you hang up whether a company can come.
When you are ready, one call is enough
Tell the company what happened, which room or vehicle it is in, and whether the police and coroner have finished. They will explain the work, when they can come and how they arrive at a price.
Talk to a cleanup company
The call puts you in touch with an independent biohazard cleanup company that works in the Columbia area. Say what happened and ask what you need to know. Whether you hire them is up to you.
