What is a crime scene cleaner?

Blood on the ground of a crime scene. Blood on the ground of a crime scene.

When a tragedy occurs, it often involves more than just the individuals involved in the incident. After emergency personnel have done their job and left the scene, a crime scene cleaner is often called upon to help with the aftermath. But what is a crime scene cleaner, and what do they do? Let’s take a closer look. 

What Does a Crime Scene Cleaner Do? 

A crime scene cleaner (also known as a biohazard remediation technician or trauma scene specialist) specializes in cleaning up traumatic events. These events can include homicides, suicides, and other accidents that result in blood or bodily fluids being present on a property. 

Crime scene cleaners are trained professionals who understand how to safely remove biohazards from a property without spreading any disease or contaminating the area further. This includes following strict protocols for wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as for transporting and disposing of such material. 

Crime scene cleaners often work with law enforcement agencies to ensure that all evidence has been removed from the area before performing any cleanup services. They also use specialized equipment (such as vacuums with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters) to capture any microscopic particles that may remain after the initial cleanup process is complete. 

Crime scene cleaners may also use industrial-grade cleaning agents designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and odors from the environment. In addition to physically cleaning up after an event, crime scene cleaners also dispose of all biohazardous materials in accordance with local laws and regulations.  

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Crime Scene Cleaners 

For families dealing with tragedy on their property, there are many benefits associated with hiring professional crime scene cleaners (rather than attempting to clean up after an incident by themselves). 

Professional crime scene cleaners can provide much-needed peace of mind during an already difficult time. This is because they know how to handle contaminated materials properly and can prevent hazardous material from spreading further throughout a home or business establishment. 

Additionally, allowing professional crime scene cleaners to handle the cleanup allows family members or other occupants of the premises to avoid further trauma that comes with the physical cleanup of a crime scene.

Hiring professional crime scene cleaners can provide much-needed assistance during difficult times – while ensuring that your property remains safe and free from contamination after an incident has occurred on your premises. For those who find themselves in need of this service due to unfortunate circumstances beyond their control, understanding what these experts do can go a long way towards providing peace of mind during one of life’s most trying moments.

Crime scenes can be emotionally and physically traumatic. Cleaning up after a crime scene is not something anyone should have to do alone. It is difficult, time-consuming, and often requires specialized services. Thankfully, if you need help cleaning up after a crime scene in Texas, there are many companies located throughout the state that can assist. Let’s break down what crime scene cleanup companies do and what you should look for when selecting a company for crime scene cleanup in Texas.

Crime Scene Cleanup Companies in Texas 

There are numerous crime scene cleanup companies located throughout Texas that specialize in providing services to those dealing with the aftermath of a crime. These companies are staffed with compassionate and experienced professionals who understand the trauma associated with the cleanup process. They offer full-service packages which include disinfecting, sanitizing, and restoring contaminated environments so they can be safely occupied again. 

What Services Do Crime Scene Cleanup Companies Provide? 

These specialized crime scene cleanup services usually include hazardous material removal, decontamination, sanitation, disposal of hazardous materials (such as blood or bodily fluids), and odor control measures (such as ozone treatments or charcoal filtering systems). Additionally, many of these companies offer residential remodeling services (if needed due to damage from the incident at hand). These companies understand that it is important to take all safety precautions necessary when handling hazardous materials which can contain harmful bacteria or viruses.

In addition to these services, many of these companies provide content cleaning services. This is especially useful if any linen, rugs, or clothes have been soiled during the event. 

Do Crime Scene Cleanup Companies in Texas Need to be Licensed?

If you're living in Texas and you've recently experienced a tragedy such as a murder or suicide, then you may be considering hiring a crime scene cleanup company. But did you know that these companies do not need to be licensed in Texas? That's right, there is no legal requirement for crime scene cleanup companies to have a license. 

Fortunately, there are ways to ensure that you hire only reputable crime scene cleanup companies in Texas. For starters, make sure to ask any biohazard cleaning company about their training, on-the-job safety protocols, and certifications; reputable companies will have undergone extensive training on how to best clean up biohazards safely and effectively. And keep in mind, it never hurts to ask for references from previous clients. This will give you an idea of what level of service they can provide, their customer service, and more.

Hoarding

6/20/2022 (Permalink)

According to The Mayo Clinic, “Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them.

A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.” Many people with hoarding disorder do not find their habits to be a problem.

Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage such as old newspapers, junk mail or packaging. Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded.

Bugs, fleas, rats and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard. SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison encounter hoarding situations several different ways. Often, a SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison is called for a fire or water loss and find the hoarding situation when they arrive on-site.

A SERVPRO Sherman/Denison will communicate with the insurance company regarding their contents coverage, and after approval, contents can be packed out and possibly cleaned, dried, and stored by the SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison, or relocated to a storage facility so work on the fire or water loss can begin. Another way SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison encounter hoarding jobs is through calls from landlords, case workers, real estate agents, or family members, often after the death of a loved one. In these situations, the crew will see if they should look for any items of importance while they clean the job.

Sometimes, family members will come and try to help the hoarder sort through their contents as well. Each case is very different, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, but SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison are here to help make it “Like it never even happened.” If you encounter a hoarding situation at one of your properties, or with your insureds.

SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison understands How to mitigate this type of situation. 

Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them.

A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs. 

Hoarding often creates such cramped living conditions that homes may be filled to capacity, with only narrow pathways winding through stacks of clutter. Counter tops, sinks, stoves, desks, stairways and virtually all other surfaces are usually piled with stuff. And when there's no more room inside, the clutter may spread to the garage, vehicles, yard and other storage facilities.

Hoarding ranges from mild to severe. In some cases, hoarding may not have much impact on your life, while in other cases it seriously affects your functioning on a daily basis.

People with hoarding disorder may not see it as a problem, making treatment challenging. But intensive treatment can help people with hoarding disorder understand how their beliefs and behaviors can be changed so that they can live safer, more enjoyable lives.

Please contact SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison (903)893-7166 today to let us help walk you through this situation.

Our crews are very sensitive to each situation.

Sewage damages are considered Bio hazard clean up

Sewage Cleanup and Restoration

Water from sewer system backups should be considered very dangerous. The water is grossly unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness. Special training and equipment is necessary to safely clean this type of contamination.

Sewage Backup or Toilet Overflow? Call Us Today – (903)893-7166

There are three major types of contaminated water. SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison will inspect that contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your home or business.

The three types of contaminated water:

Category 1: "Clean Water"

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet. If left untreated, category 1 water can quickly degrade into category 2 or 3 water depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with contaminants.

  • Water from a clean source like a broken water line
  • If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3

Category 2: "Gray Water"

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category 2 water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

  • May contain bacteria and viruses
  • Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: "Black Water"

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category 3 water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

  • May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
  • Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

24 Emergency Service

Sewage backup should be considered an emergency and dealt with as quickly as possible. We are the water damage restoration specialists with specific training and expertise to safely restore your home or business.

Sewage Cleanup

2/3/2020 (Permalink)

Sewage Cleanup and Restoration

Water from sewer system backups should be considered very dangerous. The water is grossly unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness. Special training and equipment is necessary to safely clean this type of contamination.

Sewage Backup or Toilet Overflow? Call Us Today – (903)893-7166

There are three major types of contaminated water. SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison will inspect that contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your home or business.

The three types of contaminated water:

Category 1: "Clean Water"

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet. If left untreated, category 1 water can quickly degrade into category 2 or 3 water depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with contaminants.

  • Water from a clean source like a broken water line
  • If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3

Category 2: "Gray Water"

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category 2 water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

  • May contain bacteria and viruses
  • Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: "Black Water"

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category 3 water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

  • May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
  • Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

24 Emergency Service

Sewage backup should be considered an emergency and dealt with as quickly as possible. We are the water damage restoration specialists with specific training and expertise to safely restore your home or business.

Bio Hazard Clean up

4/24/2018 (Permalink)

Hoarding

SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison understands How to mitigate this type of situation.

 Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. Hoarding is considered to be a Biohazard situation.

A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs. Hoarding often creates such cramped living conditions that homes may be filled to capacity, with only narrow pathways winding through stacks of clutter. Counter tops, sinks, stoves, desks, stairways and virtually all other surfaces are usually piled with stuff. And when there's no more room inside, the clutter may spread to the garage, vehicles, yard and other storage facilities.

Hoarding ranges from mild to severe. In some cases, hoarding may not have much impact on your life, while in other cases it seriously affects your functioning on a daily basis.

People with hoarding disorder may not see it as a problem, making treatment challenging. But intensive treatment can help people with hoarding disorder understand how their beliefs and behaviors can be changed so that they can live safer, more enjoyable lives. Our crews are highly trained and can address this type of situation.

Please contact SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison (903)893-7166 today to let us help walk you through this situation. Our crews are always very sensitive to each situation.

Hoarding: A Serious Situation

4/2/2018 (Permalink)

According to The Mayo Clinic, “Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.” Many people with hoarding disorder do not find their habits to be a problem. Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage such as old newspapers, junk mail or packaging. Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard. SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison encounter hoarding situations several different ways. Often, a SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison is called for a fire or water loss and find the hoarding situation when they arrive on-site. A SERVPRO Sherman/Denison will communicate with the insurance company regarding their contents coverage, and after approval, contents can be packed out and possibly cleaned, dried, and stored by the SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison, or relocated to a storage facility so work on the fire or water loss can begin. Another way SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison encounter hoarding jobs is through calls from landlords, case workers, real estate agents, or family members, often after the death of a loved one. In these situations, the crew will see if they should look for any items of importance while they clean the job. Sometimes, family members will come and try to help the hoarder sort through their contents as well. Each case is very different, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, but SERVPRO of Sherman/Denison are here to help make it “Like it never even happened.” If you encounter a hoarding situation at one of your properties, or with your insureds.
