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

Crime Scene Cleanup in Oxnard: Certified Remediation. Zero Compromise.

Crime scenes leave behind more than trauma. They leave behind bloodborne pathogens, hazardous residues, and serious liability. Whether it’s a violent crime, suicide, or unattended death, no property owner should be left to deal with the aftermath alone.

That’s why Oxnard trusts Total Restoration.

We specialize in regulated crime scene cleanup, delivering 24/7 emergency response, certified containment, and full-scope remediation that restores safety and secures your insurance claim. This isn’t janitorial work. It’s biohazard remediation done by licensed professionals.

From initial containment to final clearance, we handle everything. One team. No subcontractors. Total accountability.

This is high-risk remediation that demands certified containment, industrial disinfection, and legal documentation. We deliver it. Oxnard properties deal with aftermaths that are biologically dangerous and emotionally overwhelming:

  • Violent Crimes & Assaults – Blood and fluids contaminate walls, floors, substructures.
  • Unattended Deaths & Suicides – Decomposition sets in fast, seeping into drywall and HVAC systems.
  • Drug Residue (Meth, Fentanyl) – Hazardous chemical particles linger long after police leave.
  • Industrial or Workplace Fatalities – Require regulated handling, reporting, and OSHA compliance.

Each of these scenarios leaves behind more than stains, they leave behind danger. When blood and bodily fluids soak into porous materials, the risk doesn’t go away with surface cleaning. Decomposition gases, bioaerosols, and trace pathogens can remain in a building for weeks, putting anyone who enters at risk. Homeowners, landlords, and business owners need a solution that doesn’t just look clean, it proves clean. That’s what we deliver.

Crime Scene Questions Oxnard Property Owners Ask Most

Smaller scenes (single room, minimal fluids) may start around $1,500. Larger or decomposition-affected sites can exceed $10,000. Cost depends on contamination level, materials affected, and square footage. We provide detailed estimates upfront and walk you through what’s required for insurance reimbursement.

Often yes, if the event was sudden and accidental. We handle all documentation: lab results, photo reports, moisture and ATP logs. These strengthen your claim and reduce pushback from insurers. We’ll even speak with your adjuster to make sure nothing gets lost in translation.

The property owner. Police and emergency services don’t handle cleanup. If it happened on your property, you’re responsible for restoring it safely and legally. Failing to do so could create long-term health risks or legal liabilities.

No. That’s handled by the coroner or medical examiner. We arrive once the scene is cleared to begin the remediation process. From that moment, we treat your property with dignity and precision.

No. Bloodborne pathogens and airborne bacteria pose serious health risks. Without proper PPE, air control, and certified disposal, contamination can spread and become more dangerous. In some cases, DIY cleanup can even violate local regulations.

Full-body Tyvek suits, nitrile gloves, boot covers, face shields, and powered respirators. We follow OSHA standards to ensure worker and occupant safety. Our protocols exceed basic compliance, we operate at hospital-grade levels of protection.

Contaminants often include HIV, Hepatitis B/C, MRSA, bacteria from decomposition, and airborne pathogens that can linger in unventilated areas. These can cause infections, respiratory issues, and long-term complications if not properly remediated.

Yes. Our team is IICRC-certified and OSHA-trained in bloodborne pathogen remediation. Every crew is experienced in trauma scenes, equipped with industrial tools and compassion. We handle the hardest scenes with professionalism and discretion.

It always depends on how severe the situation is. Small scenes don’t take too long. Major contamination can take several days, including drying, demolition, and clearance testing. We don’t cut corners, we clear it fully, test it thoroughly, and document everything.

Under 90 minutes. Our teams are positioned for rapid response across Ventura County 24/7. The moment we arrive, we activate containment and begin assessment, no waiting, no guesswork.

Why Crime Scenes in Oxnard Require Certified Remediation

Oxnard properties face unique risks when it comes to post-trauma cleanup:

Without proper containment and decontamination, these factors make crime scenes in Oxnard harder to manage and riskier to live around. Restoration without certification isn’t just ineffective, it’s dangerous. Mold, bacteria, and residual odors can linger for months without proper protocol. We use tools and tactics specific to Oxnard’s environmental conditions.

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: Coastal Crime Scene Cleanup Challenges in Oxnard

Biohazard Cleaning Specialist

 Crime scene cleanup in Oxnard comes with coastal complications that inland cities don’t face. Humidity and salt air accelerate decomposition, intensifying odors and bacterial growth. Fluids seep deeper into porous materials like plaster, wood, and concrete when moisture levels are high. Older coastal homes and apartments often lack vapor barriers or updated ventilation, letting contamination spread faster than expected.

Our Oxnard-specific strategies include:

These steps are tailored for Oxnard’s coastal environment, where moisture, salt, and older infrastructure combine to make crime scene cleanup more complex. By adapting to local conditions, we don’t just clean, we restore safety and peace of mind for families and property owners.

Immediate Steps After a Crime Scene in Oxnard

In Oxnard’s humid coastal climate, fluids and odors spread faster than most expect. Following these steps protects your health, preserves insurance coverage, and ensures the scene is cleaned safely, discreetly, and with compassion.

We act as your advocate during claims. We coordinate directly with your adjuster, back everything with written evidence, and stay involved until the final check clears. This level of detail often means the difference between full payout and denial.
