Once the property has been released, our team can step in to address the affected area while treating everyone involved with dignity and respect. Contact Bio Solutions Tennessee to speak directly with the owner about your cleanup needs.
What Does Homicide Cleanup Involve?
Homicide cleanup addresses the physical aftermath that may remain after a death and criminal investigation. The work may involve blood, bodily fluids, affected surfaces, contaminated belongings, and other biological material at the scene.
The police, investigators, and emergency personnel do not perform the property cleanup after their work is complete. Once authorities release the scene, the property owner or another responsible party must arrange for professional cleanup.
Every homicide scene is different. The affected area and the type of work required depend on what occurred and which materials came into contact with biological matter. Bio Solutions Tennessee uses protective equipment and professional cleaning products while addressing the scene. The company uses hospital-grade, EPA-registered, and eco-friendly chemicals.
Homicide cleanup falls within the broader category of crime scene cleanup, but the circumstances require an especially private and respectful approach. Our team arrives in an unmarked white truck, keeps calls confidential, and gives customers direct access to owner Scott Hodler throughout the service.
When Can Homicide Cleanup Begin?
Homicide cleanup can begin only after law enforcement has completed its investigation and released the property to the responsible party. Until that happens, the scene should remain undisturbed.
Investigators may need time to examine the property and collect evidence. The amount of time required varies from one case to another, so no cleanup company can decide when the scene is ready. That direction must come from the authorities handling the investigation.
After the property has been released, Bio Solutions Tennessee can discuss the condition of the scene and the cleanup assistance that may be needed. The company is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so the responsible party can call when authorities provide clearance.
No one should attempt to move belongings, clean surfaces, or come into contact with biological material before the scene is released. Once access is permitted, our trained team can take responsibility for the cleanup rather than leaving that task to relatives, friends, employees, or property occupants.
Why Homicide Scenes Require Professional Cleanup
Blood and bodily fluids can contain bloodborne pathogens. They may also affect flooring, walls, furniture, personal belongings, and other materials surrounding the scene. Some contamination may be difficult to address with household products or ordinary cleaning methods.
Professional homicide cleanup reduces the need for untrained individuals to come into direct contact with affected materials. Bio Solutions Tennessee uses protective gear and appropriate products to clean and decontaminate the area. Depending on the condition of the property, related work may include blood cleanup or broader biohazard cleanup.
There is also an emotional burden attached to the scene. Asking someone close to the victim to handle the cleanup can expose that person to painful physical reminders of the event. Family members should have the option to step away while trained professionals address the property.
Homicide cleanup may overlap with other services, but each page serves a distinct purpose. General death cleanup often addresses unattended deaths, decomposition, contamination, and associated odors. Homicide cleanup specifically involves the aftermath of a homicide and begins only after the criminal investigation has concluded at the property.
