West Union Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
What is it called when you clean up crime scenes?
It goes by several names, including crime scene cleanup, crime scene cleaning, forensic cleaning, forensic clean up, trauma cleanup and biohazard remediation. The people who do it are crime scene cleaners or forensic cleaners.
What happens to belongings and keepsakes?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.
Can I clean a crime scene myself?
It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.
Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone, with a key holder or property manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether the building must stay open around the work.
Is dried blood still dangerous?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
