Why You Should Hire a Pro?
If you are in a situation where you are considering cleaning up a crime scene on your own, it is highly recommended that you think again and consider the possibility of a professional crime cleanup company to do the job instead. There are a few important reasons for this.
First of all, a crime scene cleanup like a murder scene or a suicide scene is not a very ideal situation for those who are weak hearted or those with a weak stomach. The sight of splattered brains or blood stains combined with the nauseating stench of death is usually too much for even the bravest of people out there. A professional crime cleanup company will have employees that are specifically trained to handle these types of situations. Think of them as ER technicians. They would have probably already seen many such scenes such as the crime scene in your house. They will also be trained to handle customer relations in a very delicate manner. They will recognize the trauma experienced by the family members and will act appropriately.
The second reason to call for a professional crime cleanup company is simply because they are the only people certified by the state and federal authorities to carry out this type of work. If you were to clean up a murder scene on your own and dump the cleaned up materials in a dumpster, you would technically be breaking the law. Bodily matter such as blood, tissue and other fluids from the body are classified as bio hazards by the federal government. When something is classified as a bio hazard, it will mean that only licensed parties can legally clean up and dispose the bio hazardous materials. Meth labs are another example of crime scenes that will require very professional cleaning. Methamphetamines and related chemicals are very toxic in nature and they can cause serious lung infections and skin infections. A thorough meth lab cleanup will involve cleaning up of walls, floors, ceilings and even furniture items to completely reduce or eliminate the contaminant levels.
Thirdly, a professional crime scene cleanup company will have the best knowledge and expertise to carry out a good cleanup job. Improper cleanup can make odors and stains to remain even after several weeks have passed. A crime scene cleanup company will use various EPA approved chemicals and specialized equipment to carry out the work.
Lastly, a professional crime cleanup company might be able to assist you with the insurance process. Some insurance policies will cover the expenses incurred in cleaning up a crime scene and a cleanup contractor will offer your assistance in getting reimbursed by your insurer.
