Biohazard Cleanup in
Elko, Nevada

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, Nevada's Nevada Victims of Crime Program (up to $35,000) may also help — cleanup costs are generally covered.

Nevada covers crime-scene cleanup as a reimbursable expense, subject to the program's overall maximum award. Applications go through the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (702-486-2740). Deadline: within 2 years of the crime. Victims of violent crime, family members of homicide victims, and persons who pay crime-related expenses on behalf of a victim.

Nevada statute expressly states that deaths, felonies, and HIV/AIDS on the property are not material facts requiring disclosure. Nevada also requires disclosure of meth contamination. Laws change — confirm with a licensed real estate professional.
