Dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event, such as a crime scene, is a situation no one ever expects to face. At NorthStar Restoration Services, we understand how overwhelming and emotional these circumstances can be. That’s why we’re here to provide professional, compassionate, and discreet crime scene cleanup services to help you restore your space and find peace of mind.
What Is Crime Scene Cleanup?
Crime scene cleanup is a specialized service that addresses the unique challenges posed by incidents like homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, or drug-related scenes. It’s not just about cleaning; it’s about restoring safety, removing biohazards, and helping you move forward.
At NorthStar, we go beyond surface cleaning. We adhere to industry-leading standards, using advanced equipment and techniques to ensure thorough and safe remediation.
Our Crime Scene Cleanup Process
We follow a meticulous process to ensure every detail is handled with care and precision:
-
Assessment and Planning
Before starting, our team assesses the scene for potential hazards and works with law enforcement to ensure all investigations are complete. This allows us to plan a safe and effective cleanup. -
Protective Measures
Our technicians use state-of-the-art personal protective equipment (PPE) and containment setups to protect everyone involved and maintain air quality throughout the process. -
Biohazard Removal
Blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazards are safely removed using specialized tools and disposal methods that comply with local, state, and federal regulations. -
Cleaning and Disinfection
We thoroughly clean all surfaces with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants to remove pathogens and ensure the space is safe. This includes advanced testing to verify cleanliness. -
Documentation
We document every step of the process with photos and detailed reports, which can be valuable for insurance claims or legal purposes. -
Final Inspection
Before completing the job, we perform a comprehensive inspection to ensure the space is safe and fully restored for reoccupation.
Why Professional Cleanup Matters
Crime scenes often involve more than meets the eye. Biohazards, toxic chemicals, or hidden structural damage can pose serious risks if not addressed properly. Professional cleanup ensures:
- Health and Safety: Eliminating biohazards and preventing the spread of contaminants.
- Regulatory Compliance: Proper disposal of hazardous materials in accordance with all regulations.
- Emotional Relief: Allowing you to focus on healing while we handle the restoration.
Specialized Expertise for Every Situation
Certain scenarios, such as drug-related crime scenes, require extra precautions. Substances like fentanyl or methamphetamine residues can be highly toxic. Our team is trained to handle these complex cleanups with care, ensuring all traces are removed safely.
Myths About Crime Scene Cleanup
Many people have misconceptions about crime scene cleanup. It’s not as simple as wiping down surfaces—it’s a highly technical process requiring specialized training and tools. Additionally, while media often portrays violent incidents, many cleanups involve non-violent or unattended deaths, which are less graphic but no less sensitive.
