Trauma Scene:

The police, fire department, crime-scene investigators, and coroner perform a crucial role in the aftermath of a violent death, but they don’t as a general rule clean up the scene. That heart-breaking task falls directly to the owner of the property and family occupying the home or business. That’s where trauma scene cleaners can play a critical role.

Trauma scene cleaners are an elite group of professionals who are dedicated to helping others when tragedy strikes. Our objective is to compassionately, safely, and discreetly restore a scene back to a safe and healthy environment. This relieves others of the grime, traumatic and potentially dangerous task regardless if it’s a homicide, suicide, decomposition, or accidental death.

Our service is equipped and ready to respond twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Once summoned to a scene, our technicians will evaluate the extent of the damage and prepare a written proposal. When our proposal is accepted, we immediately begin the restoration process.

Homicide and suicide cleaup involves the removal and cleaning or disposal of items that have been contaminated with body fluids, blood, tissue matter, and bone fragments. Our technicians track down and remediate areas that have been contaminated that the untrained eye would miss. Cross contamination by police and medical personnel are of a major concern. Grout, cement, wood flooring and sub flooring all have the potential to emanate death odors if they have been contaminated due to the decomposition of human body fluids, tissue, etc.

Odor Removal:

Removal of odors can be difficult or almost impossible, unless it is performed by a trained professional. Odors can come from a variety of sources such as human remains decomposition, urine, feces, body fluids, etc. This type of odor can migrate through walls, floors, sub flooring, insulation, ceilings, personal effects, furnishings, etc. Our trained technicians are experts at removing materials and cleaning hard surface items which will result in the mitigation of the resulting odors. We work with the family by documenting and photographing keepsake items so that you lose the least possible amount of important family possessions.
