Biohazard and Trauma Scene Cleaning Situations We Handle
Our forensic cleaners respond to homicide cleanup, suicide cleanup, unattended death cleanup, assault scene blood remediation, home invasion restoration, and vehicle biohazard decontamination throughout Florida. Each situation demands evidence-preservation discipline, contamination tracking beyond the visible scene, and biomedical waste disposal that meets Florida Department of Health rules.
Our crews address domestic violence scenes, shooting scenes requiring ballistic damage repair, stabbing scene decontamination, and decomposition cleanup after unattended deaths. We also handle commercial crime scene restoration, vehicle decontamination, fentanyl residue cleanup, and biohazard removal following traumatic events. Each scenario demands specific technical mastery regarding evidence preservation boundaries, contamination tracking, and Florida regulatory compliance for biomedical waste disposal.
Florida properties require technical expertise alongside meticulous scene assessment protocols. Our forensic cleaners handle blood pattern remediation after police evidence collection, fingerprint dust residue removal, and repair of forced entry damage.
We utilize EPA-registered tuberculocidal disinfectants (specialized cleaning agents that kill highly resistant bacteria and viruses) with precise mixing ratios and dwell times [the duration a disinfectant must remain wet on a surface to be effective] to ensure total decontamination.
Every crime scene presents unique tracking challenges where biological fluids migrate through hallways, secondary rooms, or via insect activity. We also account for tracking caused by emergency responders or animal movement on the property to ensure no hazard remains.
Our crime scene cleaners execute thorough assessment protocols that identify all contaminated surfaces beyond the primary incident location. This approach ensures a complete recovery that restores your property to its pre-incident condition. We maintain strict adherence to evidence integrity requirements established by Florida law enforcement agencies, ensuring our work never compromises ongoing investigations.
Why Choose Our Crime Scene Cleaning Company
772-486-410020+ Years of Providing Crime Scene Cleanup Services in Florida
Owner Nathan Todd started in his family’s cleaning businesses at age 8, launched his own company at 16, and has now spent 20+ years focused on biohazard remediation, crime scene restoration, and trauma cleaning across Florida. His lived experience with family trauma and violent loss shapes how our crews treat every home.
Every crime scene cleaner on our team holds IICRC certifications in trauma and biohazard cleanup and completes OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training, with continuing education keeping us current on crime scene remediation practices. New technicians finish 40 hours of supervised field work before solo assignments, and Lead Technician Canaan approves every new skill across our statewide operations. Florida biomedical waste disposal rules and evidence preservation area protocols are built into our training
Florida Biomedical Waste and IICRC Certifications
Our licensing portfolio covers every credential required for legal crime scene cleanup operations: Mold Remediation License, EPA ID Number for hazardous waste transportation, Biomedical Waste Generator License, Biomedical Waste Transporter License, and Lead Remediation License for older properties where structural damage exposes lead-based paint hazards.
IICRC certifications across trauma, biohazard, water damage, fire damage, and odor control give our team the technical foundation for complex remediation scenarios that accompany crime scenes. Every lead technician also finishes OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training for hazardous waste operations and emergency response.
Annual Florida Health Department inspections validate our biomedical waste handling, and EPA annual inspections confirm hazardous waste operations compliance across our statewide service territory. Continued education keeps mold remediation license requirements current, and IICRC standards run through every trauma scene cleaning and property restoration project
24/7 Owner-Answered Line and Independent Insurance Advocacy
Every emergency call is answered directly by our owner, operating manager, or a senior field lead. No AI systems, no answering services, because trauma situations need immediate human connection when families ask about crime scene cleanup procedures and timing. Missed calls are returned within one hour, and crews frequently begin traveling to client locations during the initial consultation call.
We take no part in insurance “preferred vendor” networks — pre-selected contractors who prioritize insurance company savings over client needs. That autonomy lets us give honest guidance on claim decisions based on your financial benefit, including advising against filing when deductibles make coverage disadvantageous, even when it reduces our revenue.
We invest over 20+ hours per claim in adjuster communication, evidence submission, and follow-up to maximize coverage. Insurance billing lets you defer payment until the settlement arrives, and third-party financing delivers alternative payment options when coverage is unavailable.
Discreet Statewide Response from Orlando to Miami
Complete discretion runs through every crime scene cleanup operation. Unmarked vehicle options are available on request for sensitive situations, plain-clothes technicians and flexible scheduling accommodate evening and overnight work when privacy concerns require minimal neighbor visibility, and our standard crew size of 1 to 2 technicians is trained to avoid neighbor conversations and information requests.
Our Jensen Beach headquarters at 2811 NE Savannah Road anchors immediate response across East Coast Florida from Orlando through Miami with same-day or next-day service. Pre-positioned equipment and established relationships with Florida law enforcement agencies extend our statewide service territory across all of Florida, giving Central and North Florida communities prompt property restoration and crime scene cleanup response, typically within 24 hours.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Crime Scene Cleaning in Florida?
Most Florida homeowners’ insurance policies include dwelling coverage that reimburses 80 to 100% of crime scene cleanup and biohazard remediation costs after the deductible. Our honest guidance philosophy is to review your policy terms and deductible amounts with you before recommending you file. When out-of-pocket costs exceed benefits — a $3,500 crime scene cleanup against a $5,000 deductible, for example — cash payment is the better financial decision for the property owner, and we will tell you that even though it costs us the claim.
Our insurance documentation support includes photo evidence collection, detailed scope of work documentation, and itemized invoices that meet Florida insurance company requirements for biohazard cleanup claims. We invest 20+ hours per insurance claim in adjuster communication, providing technical education on crime scene contamination, regulatory compliance, and remediation procedures that justify coverage decisions.
We take no part in insurance preferred vendor networks, keep our advocacy on client interests rather than insurance company cost containment, wait for insurance payouts rather than demand upfront payment, and never place liens on family homes. Third-party financing provides payment alternatives when coverage is unavailable or insufficient, and for victims without adequate coverage, Florida’s Bureau of Victim Compensation reimburses eligible cleanup costs. Our community commitment includes 4+ free crime scene cleanup jobs annually for families in substantial financial need after violent crimes and traumatic incidents.

Professional remediation with tuberculocidal disinfectants, full PPE, and documented disposal protects your health and your property value.
Crime scene cleanup is one category of biohazard cleanup. Biohazard remediation covers any biological contamination, including unattended deaths, suicide scenes, infectious disease outbreaks, and bodily fluid spills.
