Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Hollywood, CA typically costs between $1,800 and $6,500 depending on the scope, the materials disturbed, and whether asbestos abatement enters the picture. Most jobs in the 90028 ZIP code can be started within 90 minutes of your call, because our crews are dispatched locally and we answer the phone with a live person at any hour. The work involves bloodborne pathogen removal, odor elimination, and full sanitization to hospital-grade standards, and it is not something you should ever attempt yourself. Call (888) 737-2439 and a certified technician will walk you through exactly what happens next.
We know Hollywood’s streets, its building stock, and the specific ways its pre-war construction complicates a job that looks straightforward on paper. That local knowledge matters when you are standing in a room that needs to be made safe again.
Why Floodline Restoration Co. of California Is Hollywood’s Preferred Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Company
Floodline Restoration Co. of California was founded in 2010 by Curt Bowman and built around a dispatch board, not a sales desk. When you call about a trauma scene or unattended death in Hollywood, you get a live person who starts moving a crew, not a recording that sends you to voicemail. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and certified to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They show up with professional-grade equipment and a written scope of work before anything gets disturbed.
Hollywood homeowners keep our number because we stand behind the result. Every biohazard job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, what we call the Keystone Standard. If the work is not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork battles. It is a written guarantee, and it applies to every cleanup we complete in the 90028 area.
We have handled jobs in courtyard apartment buildings off Fountain Avenue, in dingbat walk-ups near Sunset and Western, and in hillside-adjacent bungalows below the Hollywood sign. Our crews know which buildings are likely to contain asbestos in stucco or floor mastic, which alleys are too tight for a full truck, and which Hollywood properties need hillside runoff mitigation before cleanup can be considered complete. That is not knowledge you get from a franchise playbook. It comes from doing the work here.
Most biohazard jobs in Hollywood are completed in a single visit. We bill insurance carriers directly, so you are not playing messenger with an adjuster at two in the morning. And we offer the Senior & Veteran 5% discount on every job, always.
Our Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Hollywood
We provide the full range of Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup services across Hollywood, from single-room incidents to whole-property remediations. Four services make up most of the calls we get from 90028 residents.
Crime Scene Cleanup
After the authorities release a scene, someone has to make the space safe and livable again. We remove blood, tissue, and other biological material, then sanitize every affected surface to hospital-grade standards. In Hollywood’s older apartment buildings, that often means carefully working around original plaster walls, glass doorknobs, and hardwood floors that require chemical-specific treatment to avoid etching or discoloration.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Unattended deaths are among the most difficult calls we take. Decomposition fluids move through flooring and subflooring quickly in Hollywood’s warm climate, and the odor can penetrate wall cavities within days. We remove affected materials, run HEPA air scrubbers to clear the air, and restore the room to a state where you can be in it without a mask. We do this quietly and respectfully, and we never rush the family through decisions.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations in Hollywood’s dingbat walk-ups and courtyard buildings present a specific set of problems: narrow stairwells, shared walls, and sometimes decades of accumulated material that hides water damage, pest waste, mold, and biohazard contamination. We sort, remove, sanitize, and work with you on what to keep. Our crews are trained to handle the emotional weight of this work without judgment.
Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Bloodborne pathogen protocols are non-negotiable. We follow IICRC and RIA standards for containment, removal, disinfection, and disposal of regulated waste. In Hollywood homes built before 1945, we also test for asbestos before cutting into walls or floors, because disturbing those materials during a cleanup creates a secondary hazard that is worse than the original one.

Common Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Asbestos surprise in pre-war stucco and floor mastic. Nearly every 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial Revival or Mediterranean building in Hollywood’s 90028 flatlands tests positive for asbestos in original stucco texture coats or floor tile mastic. A biohazard or crime scene cleanup that disturbs those materials becomes a mandatory hazmat abatement before structural drying or rebuild can proceed, a regulatory tripwire not found in neighboring ZIP codes with newer construction.
- Santa Ana fire-then-flood double season. A hillside property scorched by a brush fire during an October Santa Ana event often returns as a mud and water intrusion call the following February, when hydrophobic soil sends storm runoff into the foundation. The pre-existing fire damage voids standard water mitigation protocols and forces a full scope-of-loss renegotiation with the carrier.
- Hillside runoff re-contaminating a completed cleanup. We have seen a hoarding cleanup in a 1950s dingbat walk-up near a canyon mouth get re-contaminated within weeks because post-fire hydrophobic soil sent mud and ash through a failed door seal. If the drainage path is not addressed, the cleanup does not hold.
- Tear gas residue penetrating original plaster. Tear gas from a Hollywood protest or incident settles into porous plaster and can linger for weeks. Standard surface cleaning will not remove it. The plaster must be treated or, in severe cases, removed and replaced by a crew that knows how to match original 1930s texture.

FAQs - Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Hollywood
Asbestos testing matters because most 1920s bungalows in the 90028 ZIP code contain asbestos in original stucco texture coats, floor tile mastic, or pipe insulation. If we cut into a wall or pull up flooring to remove biohazard material and asbestos is present, we release fibers into the air and create a hazmat event that requires licensed abatement before cleanup can continue. We test first, then work. Call (888) 737-2439 and we will explain the sequence for your specific building.
Santa Ana fire seasons change the job because a property that was scorched in October often has compromised seals, ventilation, and drainage that send contaminated water and debris back into the same rooms after February rains. A trauma cleanup completed in the fall can be undone by a post-fire storm that pushes mud and ash through a failed window weep or door seal. We assess the hillside runoff path before we call a job complete.
Yes, and we test for it. 1950s dingbat walk-ups throughout Hollywood routinely contain asbestos in vinyl floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, and pipe insulation. A hoarding cleanup that involves removing built-up debris, damaged flooring, or collapsed ceiling material can disturb those layers. We bring a licensed abatement crew when tests come back positive, and that cost is included in the written scope before any material is removed.
Tear gas residue can often be cleaned from original plaster without damage, but only with the right chemical agents and technique. The residue binds to porous plaster and will not lift with standard cleaning. We use specialized decontamination methods, then run HEPA air scrubbers to clear airborne particles. In severe cases where the plaster has absorbed the chemical deep into the substrate, removal and matching replacement is the only way to fully eliminate the odor and irritant. Call (888) 737-2439 for an assessment.
The sequence is: secure the scene, test for asbestos, contain the affected area, remove biohazard material, sanitize, dry with professional equipment, and then assess the hillside drainage path to make sure post-fire runoff will not re-contaminate the space. In upper Hollywood, that last step is mandatory. We include it in every winter-season job. Estimates are free, and we bill your insurance carrier directly.
