Cleaning up after a violent crime, an accident or an unattended death is not something anyone should have to do alone. These scenes can involve blood and other body fluids, which carry health risks and need to be handled with proper protective equipment and disposal. ASAP Restoration FL helps families, property managers and businesses in Deerfield Beach and South Florida with trauma and crime scene cleanup. We know these situations are hard, and we try to make this part easier.
Blood and other body fluids can carry infectious disease and can soak into porous materials such as carpet, subflooring and drywall, where ordinary cleaning does not reach. Workers who handle them are protected by specific safety rules, and waste has to be packaged and disposed of correctly. Trying to clean the scene yourself can expose you to health risks and can leave odors and contamination behind.
The size of the affected area, how long the scene was left, the materials involved and whether structural materials must be removed all affect the cost. A written estimate after an assessment lets you compare options.
Some property and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered loss, and some victim assistance programs can help with costs. Coverage and eligibility vary, so ask your insurer and ask us for a written scope of work you can share.
