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

Crime Scene Cleanup Services

Serving Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Santa Clarita Valley

Forget mess. This is medical-grade danger. That odor in the carpet? That stain on the concrete? That’s biological contamination, and it doesn’t go away with bleach. When violent events or unattended deaths unfold, the damage isn’t just physical. It’s legal. It’s emotional. It’s toxic.

That’s why our crews roll out 24/7. Nights. Holidays. We’ve responded to calls at 3am when police tape was still up. When trauma strikes, we don’t wait.

Trauma scenes aren’t always visual. What looks like a stain can actually mask bacteria, bloodborne pathogens, or fluids that have seeped into the subfloor and spread through vents. Before anyone touches anything, you need a full understanding of what’s contaminated, how deep it goes, and what it takes to make the scene safe again. Here’s what most families and property owners don’t realize:
  • Fluids can travel several feet beneath flooring, without visible evidence.
  • HVAC systems often circulate airborne bacteria before anyone notices.
  • OSHA requires specific containment and PPE, or it’s a legal violation.
  • Improper DIY cleaning risks infection, recontamination, and insurance denial.
This is controlled decontamination under licensed biohazard remediation protocols. The work begins before the first wipe:
  • Identify contamination spread – Including beneath surfaces, behind walls, and through air ducts.
  • Shut down HVAC systems – To prevent bioaerosol travel.
  • Document thoroughly – Time-stamped photos, ATP testing, and scene logs protect your claim.
  • Establish containment – With poly barriers, negative air machines, and sealed zones.
Do this wrong, and you’ve got an unsafe space, plus no coverage. Do it right, and you get peace of mind, verified clearance, and full reimbursement.

Trauma Cleanup That Puts People First

Trauma cleanup is the hardest call we take. Suicides, violent crimes, and unattended deaths leave behind more than contamination. They leave grief, shock, and families who need someone to step in with care as well as skill.

Here’s how we handle it:

For us, trauma cleanup is about more than meeting OSHA standards. It’s about protecting health, restoring dignity to the space, and making sure the people left behind aren’t carrying the burden alone. Every scene is different, but our promise is the same: compassion, thoroughness, and safety from start to finish. Families trust us because we handle the hardest details with discretion, empathy, and absolute professionalism.

Silent Spread: Why Delay Magnifies the Damage

Blood and bodily fluids don’t stay put. Once released, they soak into carpet pads, subflooring, baseboards, and even concrete. Wait too long, and the bacteria multiply, and so do the costs.

Neglecting professional response can:

Whether it’s a violent crime, suicide, or unattended death, every minute without remediation is another minute pathogens take over.

Total Restoration arrives within 90 minutes, contains the scene, and neutralizes risk, before it multiplies.

Surface Cleanups Aren’t Enough: Full-Scope Remediation Only

The phrase “crime scene cleanup” gets tossed around by untrained janitorial outfits. But mopping up blood and spraying disinfectant doesn’t meet OSHA standards, and it definitely doesn’t eliminate risk.

Here’s what proper trauma remediation includes:

We don’t stop at surface level. We eliminate the hazard, and the liability, from the inside out.

Why Airflow + Fluids = A Bigger Problem Than You Think

Crime scenes aren’t isolated to one room. In homes with central HVAC or poor ventilation, fluids and bacteria can go places you’d never suspect.

Most overlooked risks include:

That’s why we treat every trauma scene as a structural threat — not just a cleaning job. Our crew includes trauma-certified technicians and indoor air specialists who assess and remediate every exposure point.

Why DIY Isn’t Just Risky — It’s Dangerous

We’ve seen it too many times. A family member or landlord tries to clean the scene themselves to save money or avoid embarrassment. They end up exposed to Hepatitis B, C, MRSA, or worse.

DIY trauma cleaning often leads to:

If you’re reading this, the job is already too dangerous to touch. Let professionals do what they’re trained, and insured to do.

Myths vs Reality: Crime Scene Edition

Myth: “It looks clean, so we’re good.”
Reality: Pathogens remain in materials long after visible stains are gone.

Myth: “I can use bleach and protective gloves.”
Reality: Bleach fails to neutralize certain pathogens, and gloves don’t prevent air exposure.

Myth: “Insurance will pay either way.”
Reality: DIY or improper cleanup can result in claim denial.

Myth: “Only the room with visible blood needs cleaning.”
Reality: Airflow, foot traffic, and contact points often spread contamination far beyond.

Myth: “We can replace the carpet and move on.”
Reality: Without subfloor disinfection, bacteria resurfaces — often with odor.
