Dupont Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
What does crime scene cleaning include?
It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked porous materials, disinfection, handling of broken glass and debris, residue removal and odor control. Crews also sort personal property and document the work for insurers.
Do police clean up crime scenes?
No. Police collect evidence and then release the scene. Blood, bodily fluids and fingerprint powder stay behind. You, as the owner or manager, then book crime scene cleaning with a professional team.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.
Who cleans up crime scenes?
Crime scene cleaners do, also called forensic cleaners or biohazard remediation crews. Police and first responders do not clean. After law enforcement releases the scene, you, as the property owner, family member or estate, hire a crime scene cleanup company.
Do crime scene cleaners remove tear gas and fingerprint powder?
Yes. Fingerprint powder and tear gas residue are common after police work. Both need careful methods, because wiping or washing them can spread residue. Crews test the area and clean it with matched products.
What should I tell my insurance company?
State the facts plainly: what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and what paperwork it needs. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
