Professional Crime Scene Cleanup

Crime scene cleanup services are necessary in situations where a traumatic experience has occurred in the home or business and the physical remnants of it need to be remediated. An environment affected by blood, bodily fluids, biohazards, or infectious diseases presents imminent unseen threats to those in the vicinity and requires trained experts to compassionately, discreetly, and safely clean and disinfect the area. 

Aftermath Services is the nation’s most trusted crime scene cleanup company because not only do we follow all state and federal safety standards, we go above and beyond to ensure our duty is fulfilled. We are mindful of emotional trauma, so we arrive in vehicles that are discreetly marked to protect your confidentiality and privacy. Your safety and wellbeing is our #1 priority.

How Do We Clean Crime Scenes?

biohazard-trash-bag

We adhere to OSHA regulations concerning bloodborne pathogens and practice universal precautions to protect our employees and customers. Our science-based process ensures that we contain the affected areas to prevent cross-contamination, remove all traces of blood and biological materials, disinfect and deodorize, and test to confirm that the affected areas are free of pathogens. We are diligent and thorough because we understand that the health and safety of you and your family are on the line.

What Is Remediation?

To many, biohazard remediation (and its commonly used alternative, crime scene cleanup) sounds like standard cleaning. In reality, the two services couldn’t be more different. Biohazard remediation refers to the removal, cleaning, and disinfection of blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially harmful pathogens in affected areas after a death, accident, or communicable disease outbreak. Because of the high exposure risk to bloodborne pathogens, biohazard remediation is a specialty service that requires proper training, equipment, certification, and licensing.

Aftermath has designed a 3-step remediation process and developed a line of cleaning agents to protect the health and safety of our customers and their property. For more than 20 years, we have adhered to the highest standards in biohazard remediation to ensure that our customers and employees are fully protected. We stand by our work with a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

In most cases, homeowners insurance policies can cover the cost of remediation services offered by companies like Aftermath. However, this is not a guarantee, and it’s important to review your insurance policy for further guidance on policy type and coverage limits.

Because every situation is unique, it is difficult to give an estimate on how much crime scene cleanup will cost without first seeing the damage. Aftermath, an industry leader in bioremediation and crime scene cleanup services, will come onsite, assess the situation, and provide you with a professional recommendation once the scene has been evaluated.

Technicians carefully clean the area with proprietary cleaning agents and then test surfaces to detect if any living organisms have survived. Once the cleaning process is complete, they make sure ATP levels are at 0 before considering the scene “clean.” Proper disposal of biohazardous material.

While dependent on the policy type, most policies an help pay for biohazard and crime cleanup specialists, like Aftermath, for murders, attempted murders, or unattended death. However, there is no guarantee what your policy covers.

Crime scene cleaners (also known as bioremediation specialists and forensic cleaners) alleviate this burden by completely disinfecting the crime scene and providing professional and compassionate services to families dealing with the death of a loved one.

"The Pasadena Aftermath team did an outstanding job. Not only are they a remarkable team, they are also exceptional individuals. Over the course of the week that they were here, we got to know and trust them. They handled this unthinkable situation with grace, compassion, and the utmost respect for the victims. Words will never be able to truly capture the appreciation we have for them. When our world felt like it was hit with a tsunami, your team threw us a life preserver and told us that we will be okay again.The world needs more “Kevins”, “Jamies”, and “Hassens”, who will help lift the burden off of strangers who are facing their darkest days."

"Sterling and Aurelia did much more than clean the scene. They were patient, kind, and very compassionate. They took good care of the property as if it was there own. Sterling and Aurelia communicated with us every step of the way. Their presence alone did much to contribute to the healing process. On top of all that, they did a fantastic job cleaning the house. To be honest, we hated to see them leave. Our family thank them both to the highest degree!!"
