Timing
When can cleanup start?
Once police and the medical examiner have released the home or vehicle. After that, it depends on the company's schedule; ask on the call.
How long does it take?
A small blood cleanup can take hours. A room after an unattended death, or a hoarded home, can take days. The company will tell you after it sees the space.
Can I call in the middle of the night?
Yes. Phones answered 24 hours a day, every day.
Safety and privacy
Why not clean it myself?
Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne germs, and they soak deeper than they look. Companies use protective gear, disinfectants matched to the germ and proper disposal.
Will the company be discreet?
Ask about marked vehicles and where they will park. Most will keep things as low-key as the job allows.
What happens to personal items?
Tell the company what matters to you. Ask them to set aside papers, photos, jewelry and phones they find.
Paying
Does Florida help pay after a crime?
Yes, the Bureau of Victim Compensation can pay for crime scene cleanup at the victim's home or vehicle, after insurance. The crime must be reported to police.
Will my insurance cover it?
It depends on your policy. Ask your agent or insurer before work starts.
Why is there no price on this site?
Every job is different. The company will give you a price in writing after seeing it.
