Crime Scene Cleanup Process
As soon as we receive your first call, we will respond immediately as we know that the blood and pathogens will spread to other areas of the property. Upon our arrival, we will use personal protective equipment (PPE) while conducting an initial inspection to identify the scope of the project.
We will then begin removing all biohazards, placing them into approved containers. All stains, spills, and messes will be removed using professional products, working quietly to not disturb any personal activities. After the area is effectively cleaned and sanitized, we will work with your insurance provider during the claims process while you focus on other matters.
