24 HOUR SERVICE - CALL US AT 1-800-222-6815
We specialize in crime scene cleanup and tragedy cleanup. We emphasize ‘tragedy’ clean-up, since little of our work involves active crime scenes. Homicides and Self-Inflicted death (suicide) are not the only type of tragedy cleaning we perform. Just because blood may not be readily visible, body fluids may potentially have a high enough concentration of pathogens to be classified as “Other Potentially Infectious Materials” (OPIM) according to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (reference 29CFR1910.1030).
Our service is equipped and ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Once summoned to a scene, whether commercial, industrial, residential or auto, our technicians will evaluate the extent of the damage and prepare a written proposal. When our proposal is accepted, we immediately begin the restoration procedures. We clean, disinfect and deodorize all affected areas along with proper disposal. All biohazardous waste is disposed of through a federally licensed waste company.
In addition, we offer extensive disaster cleaning services including fire damage restoration where we use the most up to date document drying processes when those irreplacable papers are threatened by water damage.
You can reach us at 1-800 222-6815 if you are having any water damage, smoke, sewage damage cleanup or mold remediation problems!

The Use of Technology in Crime Scene Cleanup
Ever since new health regulations were created regarding unwanted pathogens, a new category of cleanup services have evolved - crime scene cleanup. A crime scene cleanup is very critical compared to conventional cleanups. For one, there is the need to eliminate all traces of crime so as to reduce the trauma of the neighboring community. Secondly, there is the possibility of being in contact with unwanted pathogens and biological hazards that may pose as a possible threat to both cleanup crews or technicians and the community.
Cleaning up crime scenes may not always be dangerous. However when biological hazard is an issue, crime scene cleanup technicians should apply the right safety measures and expertise. Simply put, ordinary brush and bucket won't do in crime scene cleanup. Fortunately, technology has evolved in a way that it can now be used to safeguard the health of crime scene cleanup technicians and the surrounding environment or community.
Odor Controllers
One of the areas in crime scene cleanup that technology is most useful is in removing bad odor. Since this type cleanup requires a speedy process, removing bad odor can't be done by simply ventilating the area and wait for the odor to abate. The devices commonly used are mostly foggers and ozone activated oxygen generators. Foggers are used to create a fog using a cleaning chemical so that not only open areas are cleaned of foul odor but tight spaces as well.
Ozone machines on the other hand, directly destroy molecules and air-borne bacteria which cause the foul odor in as little time as possible. In addition, they also replace the foul air with fresh oxygen. Aside from crime scene cleanup, these two odor controllers are also used by cleaning services since they can be very effective in removing mold odor as well.
Surface Cleaners
Probably the most challenging part of a crime scene cleanup - cleaning surfaces, also requires the use of specialized devices. In cases when biological hazards are present, crime scene cleanup technicians should be exposed to contaminated areas in as little time as possible. And when direct exposure is not allowed, no-touch cleaning systems come in handy. These tech savvy tools have automatic chemical indicators and applicators, use water pressure to clean surfaces and apply vacuum to dry wet surfaces.
Other similar tools that can be used are truck-mounted machines. There are many types to this kind of portable machines but most are steam injection types which are used to melt hardened matters. Other types are also similar to no-touch systems only that they use an effective combination of hot water and pressure to clean carpets without causing them to shrink.
Crime scene cleanups are very critical cleanups and require the use of technology. Specialized cleaning devices and equipment not only lessens labor and operational costs for cleanup companies, but they also answer the most important issue of cleaning up crime scenes which is environmental safety. This job is not always easy but with the advancements of cleaning technologies, everyone can be assured of a clean community after a crime.
