What homicide cleanup covers:
Crews treat the property as a family home first. Doors are closed, work is done quietly and nothing is discussed outside the job.
Affected rooms are sealed, and the crew puts on full protective equipment so nothing spreads to other areas.
Hard surfaces get a thorough disinfection, and the room is treated for odor so it no longer carries traces of what happened.
Deodorizing and filtered air machines clear the smell so the space feels normal for whoever returns.
