Biohazard Cleanup in
Spokane Valley, Washington

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, Washington's Washington State Crime Victims Compensation Program (up to $190,000 ($150,000 medical; $40,000 for homicide survivors)) may also help — contact the program to verify cleanup coverage.

Washington does not list crime-scene cleanup as a covered expense. Cleanup costs may need to be pursued through offender restitution or homeowners insurance. Applications go through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (1-800-762-3716). Deadline: within 3 years of the crime. Victims of violent crime, family members of homicide victims. Washington is unique in routing the program through the Department of Labor & Industries.

Washington Form 17 seller disclosure covers physical condition only. Deaths, crimes, and other stigma events are not material facts under Washington law. Washington also requires disclosure of meth contamination. Laws change — confirm with a licensed real estate professional.
