Crime scenes don’t just leave behind trauma. They leave behind bloodborne pathogens, biohazards, and dangerous contaminants that no janitor or maid service is equipped to handle. Whether it’s a violent crime, suicide, or unattended death, these scenes require more than sympath, they demand a licensed team with hazmat-grade equipment and full regulatory compliance.
That’s why Ventura calls Total Restoration.
Our team is IICRC-certified, OSHA-trained, and built to restore peace, safety, and order after the unthinkable. We don’t just clean up. We eliminate risk, manage the regulatory load, and get your property cleared for safe use again.
If it happened in your home, business, or rental, we secure it, clean it, and certify it.
Ventura properties face crime scenes that are quite dangerous dangerous:
This is a regulated, high-risk environment where safety and liability hang in the balance. That’s why Ventura’s top realtors, landlords, and property managers trust Total Restoration.
Costs vary based on severity and size. Smaller spaces start around $1,500. Larger areas with decomposition or multiple rooms can exceed $10,000. Insurance often helps cover it.
Yes. Many policies include coverage for trauma-related events. We handle all documentation, photos, and reports to make sure the claim is strong and gets processed fast.
Property owners are. Police and paramedics don’t handle this part. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business manager, you’re responsible for restoring the space.
We don’t remove bodies, that’s the coroner’s responsibility.
It’s not illegal in California, but it’s extremely dangerous and strongly discouraged. Bloodborne pathogens require full PPE, certified disposal, and industrial-grade disinfection. Without that, you risk serious health and legal consequences.
Tyvek suits, nitrile gloves, full boot covers, and either N95 or powered air-purifying respirators depending on the hazard level. Everything is sealed, disposable, and used by trained professionals only.
Yes. Pathogens like Hepatitis B/C, MRSA, HIV, and bacteria from decomposition are all common. Mold and airborne contamination can also occur if the area isn’t properly ventilated and disinfected.
Sometimes. Our team is trained to operate in high-stress environments, and we support them with trauma-informed practices. This is sensitive work, and we treat every job with respect.
90 minutes or less. We have crews staged in Ventura County with fully stocked vehicles for immediate containment, PPE setup, and site safety.
Crime scene cleanup in Ventura isn’t the same as in the valley. Coastal conditions, older infrastructure, and higher humidity create deeper contamination zones and harder-to-remove residues:
That’s why Ventura crime scenes need more than basic remediation. They require coastal-specific cleanup protocols, advanced moisture mapping, and lab-grade disinfection.

No subcontractors. We rebuild what we remediate.
One team. One invoice. One accountable process.
Ventura’s ocean air isn’t just salty. It’s a pathogen delivery system.
When biofluids mix with coastal humidity and porous building materials, contamination spreads aggressively. That’s why our teams take extra post-remediation measures:
For properties within 2 miles of the coast, we recommend:
Crime scenes in Ventura spread farther, sink deeper, and last longer without proper treatment. We don’t just clean. We cut it off at the root.
Every hour you wait increases risk and decreases your insurance leverage.
Insurance companies don’t make this easy. When a trauma happens, the last thing you should have to fight for is coverage. But most insurers look for any reason to minimize payouts. They’ll label biohazard remediation as “deferred maintenance” or try to deny it under technicalities.
We don’t let that happen.
Our process is built from the ground up to withstand scrutiny from even the toughest adjusters. We don’t just clean up the scene, we build a bulletproof case that proves the loss, qualifies the claim, and justifies the full payout.
Here’s what Ventura clients get:
We understand that behind every call is real pain, real families, and real risk. That’s why we take your claim as seriously as your cleanup.
Every hour you wait increases the danger. Ventura’s coastal climate and aging structures mean biohazards move fast, settle deep, and don’t let go.
Protect your health. Protect your safety. Protect your claim.
