Blood cleanup and bodily fluid removal from floors, walls, ceilings and furniture
Sorting and cleaning of personal property and keepsakes where possible
Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
A final inspection of every treated area before the space is handed back
Filtered air machines and air quality steps after the main work is done

Questions About Crime Scene Cleaning in Fordham Heights, New York, NY

How are crime scenes cleaned?

Crews contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials and clean and disinfect what remains. They treat odor, dispose of waste as regulated medical waste and inspect the result. Protective equipment is worn throughout.

Can I clean a crime scene myself?

It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.

What does crime scene cleaning include?

It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked porous materials, disinfection, handling of broken glass and debris, residue removal and odor control. Crews also sort personal property and document the work for insurers.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.

Is a crime scene cleaner worth hiring?

For most owners, yes. Blood and body fluids carry health risks, odor can linger for months, and mistakes can leave hidden contamination. Professionals remove the hazard and give the owner records that insurers accept.

What should I tell my insurance company?

State the facts plainly: what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and what paperwork it needs. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
