Crime Scene Clean-Up

Crime scene clean-up is a type of professional trauma cleaning.

The crime scene cleaners' work begins when the coroner's office or other official government body releases the "scene" to the owner or other responsible parties. Only when the police investigation has completely terminated on the contaminated scene may the cleaning companies begin their task.

This type clean-up may involve cleaning up blood loss following a burglary, battery, homicide or suicide. Companies also clean up after decomposed bodies, teargas damaged environments, and other crime and trauma scenes. Larger crime scenes involve terrorist attacks, mass murder scenes, and the clean up of anthrax and other biochemicals. 

In most cases, Crime Scene Clean-Up is a small business activity. At times small businesses, such as carpet cleaning and water damage companies add this service to diversify their activities. Some franchise opportunities are available through Servpro, ServiceMaster, Rainbow International and other nation-wide franchisers.
