Palisades Fire: Responding to Fire & Smoke Damage Losses in the Greater Los Angeles Area

Crime Scene Cleanup Camarillo: Certified Trauma Remediation Without the Runaround

Camarillo isn’t used to crime scenes. But they hit hard when they happen. Whether it’s a suicide, assault, or unattended death, the aftermath isn’t just tragic, it’s hazardous. Blood, biofluids, and decomposition don’t just stain. They seep, they spread, and they create long-term risks for anyone who enters unprotected.

That’s why Camarillo turns to Total Restoration.

We’re not a janitorial company. We’re a licensed trauma remediation firm with certified crews, OSHA-level containment, and 24/7 emergency dispatch. We arrive discreetly, act fast, and document everything to protect your insurance claim — and your peace of mind.

This is regulated remediation for real risk. We handle everything from scene containment to post-clearance rebuild. Start to finish, one team. No subcontractors. No gaps.

Camarillo property owners face specific challenges when tragedy strikes:

  • Unattended Deaths in Senior Housing – Long delays lead to deep contamination in walls and floors.
  • Violent Incidents in Family Homes – Blood and trauma fluids soak into carpet padding, baseboards, and subfloors.
  • Drug-Related Residue – Fentanyl and meth residues are invisible but dangerous without proper chemical remediation.
  • Accidents on Private Property – Whether indoors or outdoors, exposure puts guests and residents at risk.

In Camarillo’s mild, humid climate, organic material breaks down fast, but not in a good way. That decay spreads into porous materials and HVAC systems, creating airborne risks long after the scene looks “clean.” That’s why certified trauma scene remediation is not optional, it’s required.

Camarillo Property Owners Ask These Questions First

Rates vary depending on how much area is affected and how deeply contamination has spread. Minimal scenes may cost under $2,000. Decomposed scenes or multi-room sites can exceed $10K. We provide quotes on-site before work begins — no surprise billing.

In most cases, yes, if the event was sudden, accidental, or involved a covered party. We prepare everything your insurer needs: timestamped logs, lab results, before/after photos, and licensed reports. We deal directly with adjusters so you don’t have to.

The property owner is. Police do not clean up. It’s your responsibility to ensure the property is made safe and meets public health standards. Our work eliminates liability and restores habitability.

No. That’s the role of the county coroner or medical examiner. We begin work immediately after they’ve cleared the scene.

Not safely. Even with gloves, you risk exposure to pathogens like Hepatitis B, HIV, or bacteria from decomposition. Without professional PPE, HEPA filtration, and certified disposal, you’re putting your health, and the property, in danger.

Full-body suits, nitrile gloves, boot coverings, respirators, face shields, and air filtration devices. Every job follows OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.

Pathogens can spread through air ducts or remain dormant in subfloors and drywall. Risks include viral infections, respiratory illness, and long-term indoor air contamination.

Absolutely. Every team member is IICRC-certified in trauma scene remediation and undergoes continuous OSHA training. We know how to decontaminate Camarillo homes thoroughly, and sensitively.

A single room might take just a few hours. Whole-home contamination can take several days. Our process includes assessment, containment, disinfection, demolition if necessary, drying, and clearance.

Less than 90 minutes. We have local dispatch and ready crews 24/7.  We understand how devastating  these things are, so we’ll get there fast.

Why Camarillo’s Homes and Businesses Need Regulated Remediation

Camarillo may feel safe, but it’s still vulnerable when trauma strikes. Without proper remediation, unseen risks remain in:

In Southern California’s climate, even low-humidity zones like Camarillo allow bacteria to thrive indoors. Once blood or tissue contacts drywall, carpet padding, or HVAC, it spreads quickly. That’s why certified cleanup isn’t just about optics, it’s about occupant health, liability, and insurance coverage.

These guys did smoke remediation on our house in the Palisades. They did a great job walking us through the process and were very fast in getting us a quote and starting the job. Very appreciative of them.

I thought a different perspective may be nice with a review. I'm an employee with total restoration and I've worked with the owner for over 6 years. It's been so nice working with and for someone who always just wants to do what's right by the customer and do it well. Coming from a long construction background I can say that's not easy to find. Our team/ family works hard to provide a good experience as well and a good final product. Hopefully you're never in a place to need us, but if you do we are the company I would want walking into my home.

Our experience working with Total Restoration to reconstruct our kitchen after water damage leak was honestly the best service we could have asked for. From the moment we met with Blake who did our estimate and walked me through every single question I had and really worked with us and our insurance agent. Jeff was our project manager and he was not only very personable & great to work with, he worked tirelessly to get us back in our home before Christmas. Not only that but we worked our budget to get us all that we needed and more to get our house back to a home. Thank you to the entire team!! Our home restoration would not have been as smooth with the company our insurance recommended I know that.

I highly recommend Total Restoration whether you have a small job (like in our bathroom) or a challenging one like with our condominium. First, they had to find the window leaks and because it is a 3 story building, had to erect scaffolding on the outside of the condo. They replaced drywall and surprisingly did an incredible job matching the old paint on the interior walls. Jeff Wilson and his team were professional and at the same time approachable. Our daughter & fiancé live in the condo in a different city than where we live. Jeff kept us informed (including pictures] every step of the way which alleviated any concerns we might have had. Also, being my husband is in the construction business, we knew the cost was reasonable and the results were amazing. Guarantee, Total Restoration will be the first & only company we will call when we need a job done right!

I was so lucky to find Chris and his company Total Restoration. They were very responsive to my phone calls, came out to see the mold problem and explained in detail how they could fix the issue.
It required remediating mold, which was hidden under my cabinet frames, rebuilding the frames and literally putting my kitchen back together again. Once they were finished my kitchen looked as good as it was originally, including the quartz counters and cabinets!
I can’t be more happy with how fast and careful they completed my entire kitchen repair, including remediating hard to reach mold. Their price was very fair, as my insurance would not cover the issue.
Total Restoration, with it’s owner Chris and his very competant crew, including his sister is the best company I have ever dealt with!

Deep Dive: Camarillo’s Crime Scene Challenges

Biohazard Cleaning Specialist

 Camarillo’s mix of suburban neighborhoods, agricultural land, and busy freeway corridors creates unique challenges for trauma and crime scene cleanup. Many homes built decades ago have porous drywall and wood framing that absorb biological fluids deeply, requiring advanced detection and removal. The city’s proximity to the 101 corridor also increases the likelihood of violent accidents and incidents that demand immediate professional remediation. Agricultural areas and stables add another layer of risk, where cross-contamination from animals or outdoor spaces can complicate cleanup.

Our Camarillo-specific strategies include:

In Camarillo, trauma events don’t just impact surfaces, they affect entire structures and the people who rely on them. Our process ensures safety, discretion, and full legal compliance from start to finish.
