Hazardous Waste and Biohazard Cleanup for Property Management

A tenant leaves drums behind, a camp goes up on the back lot, a vacated unit shows meth or fentanyl residue. HCI crews handle it quietly and leave you the disposal records.

The calls a maintenance crew should not take

Some calls should not go to your maintenance crew. A tenant leaves drums and unlabeled containers in the warehouse. A camp goes up behind the loading dock. A unit has an unattended death. A vacated space tests positive for meth or fentanyl. HCI takes those calls for owners and managers across Southern California, live operator 24/7/365, crews from Corona or San Jose.

The paperwork matters as much as the cleanup. Unknown chemicals get characterized before anyone lifts a drum. Certified technicians remove the biohazards. Every load leaves on HCI's own EPA, USDOT and California hazardous materials transportation licenses, with signed records at each step. Those records go to your insurance adjuster, and HCI will talk to the adjuster directly if you want.

A tenant left drums and unlabeled chemicals behind. What do we do?
Leave them where they sit. Do not open, tip or stack them. Send photos of the labels and the address through the form, or call 800.988.4424. HCI identifies what is in the containers first, then packages, manifests and hauls them to a permitted facility on its own licenses. The signed manifests come back to you.
Can you clean up an encampment on our property?
Yes. You get the same crew the cities use. Structures and debris get hauled off, needles and human waste get handled as biohazard, chemicals go out as hazardous waste, and you get the documentation. HCI is licensed and insured for this work and takes the call 24/7/365.
How do you handle an unattended death or crime scene in an occupied building?
Certified technicians seal off the unit or the hallway section so the rest of the building keeps running. Blood, body fluids and anything they soaked into come out, get packaged and leave for disposal under OSHA and EPA guidelines. Nobody goes back in until the space is cleared.
A vacated unit may have been used for meth or fentanyl. Is it safe to renovate?
Not yet. Residue is in the drywall, the carpet, the fixtures and the ductwork, and a demo crew spreads it through the building. HCI assesses the unit, decontaminates to EPA guidelines and lines up the testing and paperwork before it is released for renovation.
Will the work be discreet?
Yes. Crews contain the area, keep the noise and foot traffic down and work the hours your staff sets. HCI says nothing to tenants or neighbors beyond what you direct, and follows your lead on access.
Do you help with the insurance claim?
Yes. HCI writes up the remediation, the disposal and the services performed, and can send that straight to your insurance company so you are not relaying it.
