Biohazard Cleanup in
Pittsfield, Massachusetts

In most cases homeowners insurance covers biohazard remediation when the event is a covered peril — open a claim before cleanup begins, and the cleanup company can usually bill your adjuster directly. If the event was a violent crime, Massachusetts's Massachusetts Victim Compensation & Assistance Division may also help — cleanup costs are generally covered (up to $1,500).

Applications go through the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance (MOVA) (617-727-5200). Deadline: within 3 years of the crime. Victims of violent crime, family members of homicide victims, and property owners where the crime occurred.
