24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815
We specialize in crime scene cleanup and tragedy cleanup. We emphasize ‘tragedy’ clean-up, since little of our work involves active crime scenes. Homicides and Self-Inflicted death (suicide) are not the only type of tragedy cleaning we perform. Just because blood may not be readily visible, body fluids may potentially have a high enough concentration of pathogens to be classified as “Other Potentially Infectious Materials” (OPIM) according to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (reference 29CFR1910.1030).
Our service is equipped and ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Once summoned to a scene, whether commercial, industrial, residential or auto, our technicians will evaluate the extent of the damage and prepare a written proposal. When our proposal is accepted, we immediately begin the restoration procedures. We clean, disinfect and deodorize all affected areas along with proper disposal. All biohazardous waste is disposed of through a federally licensed waste company.
In addition, we offer extensive disaster cleaning services including fire damage restoration where we use the most up to date document drying processes when those irreplacable papers are threatened by water damage.
You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water damage, smoke, sewage damage cleanup or mold remediation problems!

What You Need to Know About a Crime Scene Cleanup
The first responders of a violent crime, homicides, suicides, accidents and unattended deaths are police officers and other emergency response personnel. But after they have done their part, they go about their duties of searching for new lives to save, and new criminals to arrest. Unfortunately though, the crime scenes are left as is, messy with blood, body matters and other such ghastly bits of remains left lying around.
Those macabre tidbits should not remain in the crime scene after the life-savers and crime-solvers have done their role. Someone has to do the grossest job description of crime scene cleanup, and they certainly aren't going to do it. That's where crime scene cleanup companies come in. Believe it or not, there are companies specialized in providing crime scene cleanup services which home owners, property managers, apartment complex owners and businesses can hire.
Crime scene cleanup companies work in teams of highly trained crime scene cleaners who work on the scene of violence or damage, and perform crime scene cleanup procedures and take care of the decontamination of every affected area around the crime scene. The process also includes cleaning up of hazardous materials. All biologically or chemically contaminated scenes of violent death are considered as biohazard and must be dealt with properly, as these areas may be potential sources of infection and may lead to serious health threat for families and occupants. Crime scene cleanup technicians are professionally trained to dispose of all hazardous matters left behind and have all the necessary permits to haul and take out hazardous waste leaving the area to its pre-incident state. That makes such companies relatively important.
Crime scene cleanup companies are fully equipped to perform reliable cleanup, decontamination and remediation. The personnel are completely geared from top to bottom. They wear non-porous disposable suit, rubber gloves, respirators, and boots. They use scrapers for the removal of oozy matter and tissue, steam injection system to soften hardened or dried matter, standard tools, such as hammers, screwdrivers, shovels, wet vacuum and camera. For decontamination and remediation, they use enzyme solvent to kill bacteria, ozone machine, deodorizer, bleach and other disinfectant.
For immediate response, crime scene cleanup companies are just a phone call away. They can respond to a scene within a reasonable amount of time or even faster if the scene is just right in the company's territory.
The costs that are involved with crime scene cleanup depend on the extent of the affected areas. Companies charge from $100-$600 an hour depending on the magnitude of trauma and the volume of hazardous or bio-hazardous items the cleaners need to haul and dispose of. The cost may reach up to $1000-$3000 if the scene to be cleaned up is so messy with blood, but this expense is often covered by the owner's policy or business insurance. Some states take care some of the cleanup costs for homicide cases. The company usually forwards the expenses to the federal Crime Victims Reparation agency, which takes care of the cleanup payment. There are also companies that work with any budget, accepting as little as one dollar per month if that is all the victim's family can shell out.
