What Is The Process For Cleaning Up A Suicide Or Crime Scene?

Suicide or crime scene cleanup begins with compassion for the family and safety for your family and our team. Once we arrive we confirm that the authorities have cleared the scene and then we simply need access to the property by a family member or facilities manager. We ask for any home owners insurance information and get to work. Once we are done we will file an insurance claim on your behalf and you can begin to move forward with other affairs. Our goal is to remove the emotional and financial burden of the cleanup so you can begin to move forward.

Is It Possible To Fully Clean Blood Spills Out Of Carpet?

It depends what you consider “fully clean”. Blood is difficult to completely remove from carpet and call clean. In some situations where the carpet is of certain pile and only a few drops are present it can be removed with a product that essentially oxidizes the blood and pulls it out of the carpet, but it is impossible to actually call it clean. Typically the blood spot that you see on the carpet has gone through the padding and has spread out to about 4-5 times the area contaminated the cement or wood subfloor. It is necessary to remove the carpet and pad and decontaminate the subfloor to prevent any future odor or health risk. In most cases your home owners insurance policy will cover the replacement of the carpet.

If you’re dealing with a blood on your carpet you should immediately contact a certified biohazard blood cleanup company to increase your chances of salvaging the carpet as well as avoiding any health risks involved with improper blood cleanup from your carpet.

Is The Odor From A Dead Body A Biohazard?

When a loved one dies and goes undiscovered for a period of time, there is an unforgettable and unique pungent odor that remains in a home even after the body has been removed. There is no amount of “airing out” or air freshener that will alleviate the odor. The dead body odor is usually what alerts others that someone has died. The odor is a result of all the gasses released by the bacteria during the decomposition process, which breaks down the bodily tissues from the deceased.

While the odor itself is a nuisance, the odor resulting from the body decomposition is not a biohazard in itself and does not pose a health hazard if the blood born pathogens have been removed. Once the biohazards have been removed the odor poses not risk.

The pungent dead body odor is extremely unpleasant and can be smelled by passerby and neighbors in nearby apartments and condos. The odors will be absorb into any and all porous items including but not limited to upholstered furniture, carpet & pad, mattresses, clothing, curtains, electronics, and anything that soft fabric, paper and foam. The infused items will not only be in the immediate area where the person passed but also throughout the home and businesses belonging to neighbors. In order to remediate the dead body odor and minimize the impact, it’s best to have the odor infused contents removed odor professionally removed as soon as possible.
