What crime scene cleanup covers:
Tile, sealed wood, metal and glass are cleaned and disinfected. Most of these surfaces can be saved.
Crews check floors, baseboards, walls and furniture. They also look at hidden places such as the subfloor and the backs of cabinets.
Every surface the fluids touched is cleaned in layers, then treated with a hospital-grade disinfectant.
Filtered air machines and deodorizing finish the job. The owner or manager walks through the result with the crew.

A small spot on sealed flooring costs far less than a scene where blood soaked into subfloor, so the size of the affected area drives most of the price.

| Most residential crime scene jobs | $1,000 - $5,000 |
