CRIME SCENE CLEANUP

---

A location that has experienced a violent crime or trauma event will be contaminated with various degrees of biological and fluid hazards.  These materials can expose individuals to blood-borne diseases including Hepatitis or HIV.  Caution must be used when cleaning and decontaminating affected locations.  Our staff understands these risks and are trained to meet OSHA, state, and federal regulations when handling and disposing of any biological or hazardous materials.

Even seasoned professionals may experience emotional, mental, and physical fatigue when dealing with crime and trauma scenes.  This is why we never suggest that a property owner should perform these dangerous and difficult tasks.  In fact, it is considered a serious violation to ask a worker to clean these locations without proper OSHA training.

Crime Scene Cleanup Portland offers cleaning and decontamination services at crime and trauma locations.  This can include single or multiple homicides, motor vehicle accidents, sexual assaults, and violent assault scenes.

Once a crime or trauma scene is discovered, first responders are called in.  Once the scene is secured, detectives will examine the area before releasing the site to the property owner.  At this stage, it becomes the responsibility of the owner to clean the location.

Our staff will arrive on location and perform a walk-through in order to get a working estimate.  Once the terms are agreed upon, we can take private payment or work with your homeowner/property insurance to secure payment.  The cleaning crew will begin by removing items that cannot be cleaned or restored.  Affected areas are cleaned with industrial cleaners and deodorizers until all unwanted materials and smells are removed.
