What is Crime Scene Cleanup?

Crime and trauma scene cleanup is not like everyday cleaning. It requires specialized training, protective equipment, and the ability to handle situations with both care and professionalism. It involves the safe removal and decontamination of hazardous materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazards, that can pose serious health and safety risks.

These services cover a wide range of sensitive situations, including:

  • Homicide or violent crime cleanup
  • Suicide cleanup services
  • Unattended or natural death cleanup
  • Accidents and injuries involving blood spills

Every situation requires careful handling, not only because of the emotional toll but also due to strict safety regulations. Our trauma cleaning services adhere to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and EPA guidelines for biohazardous waste disposal, ensuring compliance and complete protection for our clients.

Georgia Water & Fire also provides broader biohazard services, ensuring all contaminants are removed with compassion and professionalism.

What Situations Require Specialized Cleanup?

Not every cleaning service is equipped to handle the aftermath of a traumatic event. Crime and trauma scenes often contain biohazards that require specialized knowledge, protective equipment, and strict adherence to safety regulations. Attempting cleanup without the right expertise can expose people to serious health risks, emotional strain, and even legal complications.

Some of the most common situations that call for professional trauma scene cleanup include:

  • Homicide Cleanup: Removing blood, tissue, and other contaminants while preserving evidence integrity until law enforcement releases the scene.
  • Suicide Cleanup Services: Addressing hazardous materials with sensitivity and confidentiality for grieving families.
  • Unattended or Natural Death Cleanup: Managing decomposition and odor remediation when a death goes undiscovered for some time.
  • Blood and Bodily Fluid Cleanup: Safely disinfecting areas affected by accidents or medical emergencies.

Attempting trauma or crime scene cleanup without the proper training or protective equipment carries serious risks. Exposure to bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, and viruses can compromise health. Property owners also face the possibility of violating OSHA and EPA regulations if biohazard materials are not handled correctly. 

Beyond the physical dangers, the emotional weight of confronting a traumatic scene can be overwhelming for families and loved ones. Even when the intent is to help, cleanup without professional tools often leaves behind hidden contaminants and lingering odors.

Choosing certified crime scene cleanup ensures compliance with safety standards, protects the well-being of those involved, and provides the compassion that DIY efforts cannot match.

Our Step-by-Step Crime Scene Cleanup Process

Every situation is different, but our proven process ensures consistency, compliance, and thorough results. From the first moment we arrive, the goal is to restore safety and dignity to the property.

1. Assessing and Securing the Scene

The process begins with an on-site assessment, where our specialists evaluate the extent of contamination and identify any immediate risks. We establish clear safety zones, secure the area to prevent exposure, and create a step-by-step plan.

This allows for the cleanup to be handled efficiently and without disruption, giving families or property managers confidence that the space is safe to enter again.

2. Biohazard Removal

We remove contaminated materials such as carpet, flooring, and furnishings that cannot be safely disinfected. All biohazardous waste is packaged, labeled, and transported in accordance with OSHA and EPA regulations for proper disposal.

3. Disinfection

Surfaces are treated with hospital-grade cleaning agents to neutralize pathogens. This step ensures that viruses, bacteria, and bloodborne contaminants are eliminated.

4. Odor Removal

Strong, lingering odors often accompany trauma scenes and unattended deaths, making spaces difficult to occupy even after cleaning. Our team uses advanced deodorization methods, including HEPA filtration and hydroxyl generators, to neutralize odors at their source and restore the environment to one that feels safe and comfortable to return to.

5. Final Inspection

Before completing the job, our specialists conduct a detailed inspection to ensure that all hazards have been removed, surfaces are safe, and the property is ready for use. We document every step for your records and ensure that the cleanup meets professional standards.
