Our Story
Unattended Death Cleanup in Houston with Local Roots
Thomas Rivera founded Exotic Biocleanup to provide unattended death cleanup and decomposition cleanup across Houston with the discretion and precision the work demands. With deep local roots in the city, he knows how the subtropical climate drives faster decomposition during hot humid summers and how mild winters keep service calls steady year-round in older homes.
From single-family houses in the Heights and Montrose to multi-unit buildings in Midtown and Downtown, the age and construction of Houston housing stock often means hidden subfloor damage and odor migration that requires targeted remediation. Rivera’s team regularly works in River Oaks estates and extends service to clients in Katy, Sugar Land, and Pearland, always accounting for Harris County soil moisture and drainage patterns that affect how fluids and odors travel.
The company operates with clear scheduling so homeowners and property managers can reach someone directly during posted hours without waiting for callbacks.
I started Exotic Biocleanup after years handling biohazard situations around Harris County and realizing Houston needed a dedicated team for unattended death cleanup. Growing up in the city, I saw how the older housing stock in the Heights and Montrose—with its narrow layouts and aging infrastructure—often complicates decomposition cleanup when moisture from our subtropical climate lingers. Hot humid summers accelerate breakdown in places like Midtown and Downtown, while milder winters keep jobs steady year-round, and I now cover calls from River Oaks out to Katy, Sugar Land, and Pearland. Clients can reach me Mon–Fri 8am–6pm or Sat 9am–2pm.

Testimonials
What Houston, TX Customers Say
“We found our uncle in the back bedroom of his house near Barker Reservoir after three weeks. The team removed the mattress and carpet sections saturated with fluids, treated the subfloor with enzyme cleaners, and aired the room until the decomposition smell was completely gone.”
“A tenant passed away in the upstairs unit of our rental on Westheimer. Exotic Biocleanup cut out the affected drywall behind the bed, scrubbed the hardwood with specialized agents, and disposed of all contaminated items so the apartment passed inspection the next day.”
“My mother's body had been in the living room of her home off Broadway for nearly a month. They stripped the sofa and rug, cleaned the tile grout line by line, and used odor-neutralizing equipment until the entire house was safe to enter without masks.”
