Crime Scene Cleanup explained

What Crime Scene Cleanup in Mecklenburg County Means and Includes

Forensic cleaning, trauma scene cleanup and crime scene cleanup all describe the same work: removing tissue, blood, contaminated materials and body fluids following a violent crime. The property can safely be used again after odor treatment and disinfection.

Cleanup begins only after the investigation is finished. Evidence is gathered and the deceased is removed by police, detectives and the medical examiner or coroner, none of whom clean the property. Once released, the scene becomes the responsibility of its owner, landlord or the family.

A forensic clean up crew, forensic cleaners and crime scene cleaners all treat blood as infectious, down to every drop. The team tracks its spread and removes materials that disinfection cannot save. All surfaces are treated and cleaned, while hazardous items are taken away in line with medical waste rules. This end-to-end process is a form of biohazard remediation.

  • Blood, tissue and bodily fluids on any surface
  • Chemical residue left by luminol and fingerprint powder
  • Saturated furniture, drywall, carpet and padding
  • Odor in the air, vents and soft materials

First steps

Your First Actions Following Crime Scene Release in Mecklenburg County

Before cleanup technicians get there, your early actions can affect health, the insurance claim and what the work ultimately costs:

Call (888) 440-9227

  5. Call for crime scene cleanup. Describe the rooms and surfaces affected so the cleanup team can plan the job.

Step by step

Crime Scene Cleaning Process Steps Across Greater Charlotte

Although no two crime scenes are alike, each remediation process uses one safe sequence. The crime scene cleanup process moves in that order from an initial walk-through through the final inspection.

  1. Crime Scene Assessment

    Before starting, technicians join you or your representative for an inspection, take photos and confirm the planned work.

  2. Containment and Protective Gear

    The crew wears complete personal protective equipment and seals the affected area with negative air and plastic sheeting.

  3. Removal of Contaminated Materials

    Saturated drywall, carpeting, padding, mattresses and furnishings are removed, placed in bags and sealed for medical waste disposal.

  4. Crime Scene Cleaning and Disinfection

    After cleaning each surface, technicians apply a hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant and observe its complete contact time.

  5. Odor Removal and Air Quality

    HVAC vents are examined, and air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl generators are used to treat the source of smells.

  6. Biohazard Waste Disposal

    Tracking documents accompany closed containers to a medical waste facility that is permitted to receive them.

  7. Final Inspection and ATP Testing

    You receive records and photos for the claim, and technicians can use ATP testing to check surfaces.

  8. Restoration After Crime Scene Cleanup

    A contractor you choose or your insurer's vendor can replace any drywall and floors removed during cleaning.

Health and safety

Health Risks of DIY Crime Scene Cleaning

Serious health risks can come from blood and bodily fluids, including contamination beyond what you are able to see.

Contaminated Materials Left Behind

Carpet does not stop blood from reaching the pad and subfloor, while grout and spaces under baseboards can trap it. Odor and bacteria may return when hidden material remains after a surface wipe.

Biohazard Waste Disposal in North Carolina

Soaked materials are regulated medical waste. They cannot go in household trash or a dumpster, and must go to an approved treatment facility.

The Emotional Toll on Families

You may find it deeply difficult to clean where someone close to you was harmed. That burden alone leads many families to hire professional crime scene cleaners.

Can you clean it yourself? A few drops of fresh blood on a hard, non-porous surface can be cleaned with gloves and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Anything that reached fabric, carpet, wood or drywall, or any amount you cannot see the edges of, needs professional cleanup.
