What Crime Scene Cleanup Indiana Professionals Do To Assist Victims

By Martha Olson


If you have just been the victim of a criminal act in the Indiana, whether it was a robbery, a home invasion, or some violent offense, you probably don't know what to do first. If the illegal activity occurs in your home or place of business, you might have to leave the premises until the police have completed their investigation. The place may be in a shambles. If that is the case, you should consider contacting crime scene cleanup Indiana professionals to come out and give you an assessment.

If you have been the victim of a break-in, you might need to contact a cleaning company to handle restoring your home or business to its previous condition. It may be too much for you to do yourself, and these professionals know how to get rid of broken glass, move furniture, strip hardwood flooring, vacuum, and generally give your property the deep cleaning it needs.

Home and businesses where violent crimes have occurred need special attention. If more than a dinner dish pool of blood is involved, you should call professionals to come in and assess the situation. Blood is a transmitter of all kinds of germs, bacteria, and diseases. It is not something you want to try to clean on your own. Professionals with protective suits and special equipment should do the job.

Many diseases and germs are spread through blood, and unless you are trained to deal with this kind of issue and have the proper equipment and hazard suits, you should leave removal to the professionals. There are very specific rules and regulations regarding physical contact with body fluids that must be strictly adhered to. There is no way to completely remove blood from carpeting. Instead professionals remove the carpeting and clean and disinfect the flooring beneath it.

Tear gas fumes are a special problem, even for the experts. It can be very difficult to remove all the residue left if law enforcement has to spray dangerous and threatening individuals inside a home or business. The chemicals left behind are extremely toxic, and sometimes floors and walls have to be removed to get to the residue.

Professionals who work in areas where there are hazardous materials and other contaminants develop routines to maximize safety and efficiency. Most create three separate zones. The contaminated area is the first zone. They create a buffer zone around that where they place hazard gear and disposal containers. The farthest zone is where they leave their tools and equipment and other items.

The actual cleaning is done in three basic steps. The technicians do a thorough cleaning of the area and remove any hazardous items. They then sanitize and disinfect all the surfaces where they are working. Lastly they deodorize the entire area to get rid of any smell.

Victims of crimes have so many things to handle, that they should take advantage of any help available. Cleaning is one of the things best left to the experts.
