Crime scene cleanup

After law enforcement, EMS, and the coroner have left a crime scene, family members, property managers, and business owners are faced with the daunting task of cleaning up after the traumatic event. Having a compassionate, discreet, and local company to clean the space can help the family or affected business move forward safely and with less emotional trauma.

Our crime scene cleanup service in Vancouver, BC incorporates proper cleaning, the application of disinfectants, and safe biohazard disposal following any serious trauma or death. We understand our services are much more than cleaning, and our trained technicians respond quickly and compassionately to your home or business.

Our crime scene cleanup services are typically covered by insurance policies. Please don't further traumatize yourself or expose yourself or loved ones to possible communicable diseases. Crime scene cleanup should be performed by people who have been professionally trained and know how to properly remove all traces of the event and all associated bloodborne pathogens, communicable diseases, and bacteria. Most people don't realize that a crime scene can be hazardous. Even if the victim was a friend or family member, it does not mean there are no dangers present.

Fingerprint dust cleanup

If an investigation needs to be completed at a crime scene, you can also be left with a property covered in fingerprint dust that needs to be removed once law enforcement has finished their job.

Most people don't know this, but fingerprint dust can be one of the most difficult and frustrating things to clean. It is made up of a black graphite powder that you do not want to get wet, and it seems to spread faster than you can clean it. We have techniques and cleaning solutions we can use to properly remove and neutralize fingerprint dust, as well as other substances that crime scene investigators use.

Crime scene disposal

Even if waste has been thoroughly and effectively decontaminated prior to removal from the containment zone, it may not be acceptable to simply direct it to the normal waste disposal stream to a local landfill. Depending on the type of waste material, additional waste management considerations or requirements specified by provincial, territorial, or local (municipal) authorities may also apply.

During the crime scene cleanup process, fabrics and other absorbent materials saturated with blood need to be removed and disposed of with a licensed biohazard facility.

After the waste removal phase is complete, our cleaners continue with the sanitation phase to disinfect and deodorize the environment. Within the established boundaries of the area, technicians carefully remove contaminants. Our cleaners strive to create a safe and organized environment and operate in a professional manner.

• Prevent odours from getting into adjacent units or the hallway.
