Crime Scene Cleanup Fraud

.
Your perfect rights as a crime scene cleanup consumer.
Many crime scene cleanup companies apply cleaning and demolition practices used for water damage and mold damage while crime scene cleanup requires neither, usually.
Why? Some restoration companies offer crime scene cleanup services following years of water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, or mold damage restoration. They bring the same or similar thinking to crime scene cleanup. Demolition accounts for their style of crime scene cleanup.
These companies may honestly believe removing walls and floors once soiled by blood is crime scene cleanup. They may also believe that walls and floors soiled by blood must be handled as biohazardous waste. They error in the belief that bloodborne pathogens have an uncanny ability to survive in the open, which applies to Hepatitis C in special circumstances.
A professional cleaner knows beforehand how to destroy bloodborne pathogens quickly and completely. In those few instances that blood does ooze, drip, migrate, wick through, around, and down walls, remediation takes little effort.
Only once have I needed to remove an entire floor. This floor's contamination arose from 4 homicide victims left to decompose for 2 months. A large amount of oil contaminated the floor. Removing the floor promised an easier cleanup than then restoring the floor. Floor wood on this job reacted well to a strong bleach solution once removed. Sealing this wood with Zinnsser B-I-N took less than an hour.
It took me 2 days to remove the floor, bleach it out, and then seal it for a landfill. It had no odor and zero stains when cut and placed in plastic bags.
Here's my point. After 2 months germs related to the deceased lost their habitat once body fluids dried for over 8 weeks. Body fats created a terrible death odor, which I easily remedied with bleach and water solution, and then sealed.
My charge? I charged less then 8 other bidders. I charged as much as I did because my travel expenses required a lot of money. My greatest hazards involved working on rafters once I removed the sub floor. My client replaced the floor for a fraction of my fee.
When calling a professional crime scene cleanup company, expect to contact a real person. This person will have knowledge of crime scene cleanup details. Possibly, this person has the authority to quote a price over the telephone. If they Insist a crime scene cleanup scene must be seen, do not sign a contract placing your property in jeopardy.
