When estimating the Cost of Biohazard Cleanup we will inquire about the condition of the property and the specifics of the incident to provide a preliminary estimate based on our nearly 15 years of experience in decontaminating crime scenes, trauma sites, and locations of unattended deaths. We prefer to conduct on-site assessments whenever feasible, as damage may not be readily apparent to those untrained, particularly individuals experiencing significant emotional distress. Our estimates take into account several factors: Is the location a trauma or crime scene, or the site of an unattended death? What was the duration between the incident and its discovery? We also handle industrial accidents and non-traumatic pathogenic contaminants, each presenting unique variables that influence biohazard cleanup costs. Additionally, the accessibility for our vehicles and roll-off dumpsters, along with the volume of materials requiring specialized handling, are considered in our estimates.
Is the Cost of Crime Scene Cleanup Different from That of an Unattended Death? Yes, the cost associated with crime scene cleanup differs from that of an unattended death due to the complexity of the cleanup process. Crime scenes often involve various factors related to an assault, making the cleanup more intricate. Elements such as the affected area, the state of the residence, the duration the body was present, and the cause of death all play a role in determining the cleanup estimate.
It is crucial not to enter a crime scene to assess cleanup costs independently. Only trained professionals should approach the scene. Encountering a crime scene can be shocking and potentially traumatizing, making it challenging to comprehend the situation's gravity fully.
