Crime scene cleanup also referred to as forensic cleanup or biohazard remediation, refers to the cleaning up of blood, bodily fluids, and Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM). Incidents that often require such service include accidents, crimes like arson or homicides, suicides, decomposition after unattended deaths, mass trauma, industrial accidents, or even biohazard incidents.
So, when should you call for crime scene cleanup in Bay Area? In most cases, you should call them after the ‘first responders’ have deemed it to be safe.
In case of a crime scene, accident, or any other such incident, the first people to reach the spot would be the first responders. This includes the police, fire department, ambulance, and medical teams. They will deal with the situation, cordon off the area and gather evidence. The area would be off-limits till the time they are finished with their tasks.
When they are done, they will give their approval to call a cleanup company like ours. In some cases, they would be the ones calling us. If your home is damaged during the incident, you should call your insurance company and have them make their assessment of the scene as well.
Crime Scene Cleanup is best left in the hands of the experts. This is primarily because of the risks associated with it.
To meet the challenges of different kinds of incidents, we offer a diverse range of services for Bay Area crime scene cleanup. Here are the services that we offer
|
Suicide And Accident Cleanup |
Such crime scenes often contain blood and other bodily fluid, and they should be handled with extreme caution. Unlike a general cleaning contractor, we have the tools and the expertise to properly clean and sanitize the place. |
|
Unattended Death Cleanup |
An unattended death is perhaps one of the critical things to handle. The body can decompose fast, and that might seriously contaminate the surrounding areas. Proper cleaning and sanitization are essential in such scenarios. |
|
Tear Gas Cleanup |
Tear gas is used by law enforcement for crowd control and also to flush out miscreants from a confined space. The worst thing about them is that the deposits caused by the gas are immensely difficult to clean. Before you move in, the chemical deposits are completely cleaned by our team. |
Although the exact process will depend on the scenario, there is a general process that Restoration Bay follows for Bay Area crime scene cleanup.
