Since many people aren’t familiar with trauma and crime scene cleanup services, here are a few of the most frequently asked questions.
Who is responsible for trauma and crime scene cleanup?
There is a common misconception that the local police or coroner is responsible for any needed cleanup, but it’s the responsibility of the family or commercial property owner. Most residential and commercial insurance policies cover these costs to some extent, but you should always double-check with your insurance agent.
What steps are involved in a trauma or crime scene cleanup?
While we can’t speak for other service providers, our first step is to recognize the uniqueness of each family and their situation. After that, we change our services based on the needs of each scene, keeping in mind that the family wants to keep things quiet. After that, every surface in the affected area is cleaned very well to get rid of any dirt, blood, body fluids, or chemical residue. After getting rid of the contaminants, the last thing we need to do is clean the area to get rid of any smells that remind us of what happened.
How long does a trauma or crime scene cleanup take?
If someone has been through a lot of trauma, the crime scene cleanup process can be affected by a number of things. Most cleanups can be completed within a few days, while others may take longer due to police activity or EPA requirements. While all trauma scene cleanups are uniquely different, most fall into one or more of the following categories:
Crime Scene Cleanups
Crime scenes can be incredibly challenging as they can involve homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, narcotics, and hazardous materials. One commonality is the potential risk of exposure to any blood, bodily fluids, and chemicals left behind. A meticulous cleaning of all surfaces is required to make the affected area safe again.
Unattended Death Cleanups
An unattended death occurs when the deceased is not discovered immediately upon their demise. Due to decomposition and bodily fluids, these cleanups quickly exceed the capabilities of most property management service providers. The people on our team know how to safely and completely clean up all the solid and weak surfaces that were damaged.
Accidental Death Cleanups
Deaths from fires, falls, poisoning, car crashes, electrocution, and drowning are some of these situations that can happen at home or at work. You can trust the BRG team to handle any hazardous materials as they thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected areas.
Suicide Cleanups
Suicide is still one of the hardest traumas for friends and family to deal with today. Eliminating what might quickly become an overwhelming load for grieving family members, BRG can guarantee a thorough and discrete cleanup and restoration process.
Hoarder Cleanups
Contrary to popular opinion, hoarding is not an attempt to save “valuable” things from potential harm. Most of the time, the person who is affected feels nervous when they try to throw something away, so they keep it to avoid feeling anxious, which lowers their stress levels. The complexity of a hoarder cleanup can vary dramatically from one case to the next, depending on the items being hoarded. For example, a magazine/newspaper hoarder cleanup is much faster and easier than the cleanup for someone who collects domesticated pets/small animals.
Squatter Cleanups
Squatter and homeless camp cleanups are becoming more and more important as the number of homeless people grows. Squatter cleanups can be extremely dangerous due to the hazardous materials and items left behind when the squatters leave the private or public property. After a comprehensive cleaning, the entire area is disinfected to ensure the property is safe for people to visit and use again.
Meth Lab Cleanups
Due to the poisonous and corrosive chemicals involved in the manufacture of methamphetamines, all meth lab cleanups must be supervised by the Boston EPA Office.
