FAQS

We are a 24 hour service, so professional cleaners may be dispatched to your location immediately after receiving the call. The Mastertech of Myrtle Beach Team understands that true 24 hour service means complete accessibility. Our operators stand by at all hours of the day and night, often times answering the phone on the first ring. Our trained technicians are located throughout Horry County SC, Georgetown County SC and Brunswick County NC, and we will respond directly from their homes to your property. Should you be prompted at any time to leave a message, your call will be immediately returned.

The length of time it takes to perform crime scene or unattended death cleanup will vary. However, our technicians work through the night to remedy the situation and allow the family or property owner to regain access. We work as quickly as we can while still being extremely thorough in our death scene cleanup efforts. Once the property has been treated for all hazards and is certifiably safe, the crime scene clean-up process is put in motion. This may include painting, drywall replacement, carpet replacement, sub-floor replacement, and many other services. Mastertech will work quickly and carefully to return your property to pre-incident condition. Most restoration efforts can be completed within one day however, in order to properly match up carpeting or flooring, additional time may be necessary to match the correct style and grade of the existing floor.

In most cases, home or property insurance companies will pay the claim for our cleanup services. When coverage is awarded, it is usually under a homeowner’s policy that is not considered to be a “named-perils policy”. Named perils policies usually only covers fire, lightning, windstorms and hail, explosions, riots/civil unrest, smoke damage, aircraft and vehicles, vandalism, theft, falling objects, water damage, and snow weight. These policies are not as common as typical homeowner’s policies. In the event that Mastertech’s cleanup services are not covered by named perils policies or others, we will provide a quote directly to the property owner.

There a great deal of state and federal mandates that govern the bio-hazard clean up industry. There are a number of risks for a business who chooses to perform bio-hazard clean up internally, including:

• Employee exposure to hazards that can cause numerous diseases and medical conditions. Among these are Critical Incident Stress Syndrome and Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder. Exposure can result in workers compensation claims and other liabilities.
• State and Federal mandates have been established regulating the collection, handling, and disposal of human bio-hazardous waste. Companies can face serious penalties for not adhering to these regulations.
• Personnel conducting hazardous water collection and disposal are required to follow specific training and medical mandates set by state and federal agencies. Failure to comply can result in serious penalties.

The truth is that everyone reacts to mold differently – just like allergies. It may not bother you, while it terribly affects the person next to you. The other truth is that long-term exposure to mycotoxin-releasing molds can cause health issues in all humans – regardless of age or how healthy you are.

In most cases, yes. We build containment chambers around affected areas in order to keep occupants safe and to avoid cross contamination. If for some reason, we determine that you should not be in the property during clean up, we will let you know.
