What Owners Want to Know About Homicide Cleaning in Puget Island
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Will the neighbors know what happened?
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
How do homicide cleaners clean up a homicide?
They seal off the area, wear protective gear and remove soaked flooring, drywall and furniture. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Waste is hauled as regulated medical waste, and the air is treated for odor.
Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
Can homicide cleaners work in a rental or apartment?
Yes. Landlords and property managers often get cleanup done to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Crews contain the work so other units are not affected. Lease terms decide who pays.
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
