  • Cleanup in homes, apartments, rental properties, offices, stores and vehicles
  • Fingerprint powder, tear gas and chemical residue removal
  • Blood cleanup and bodily fluid removal from floors, walls, ceilings and furniture

Albuquerque Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

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.

Can I clean a crime scene myself?

It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.

What happens to belongings and keepsakes?

Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.

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.

Is a crime scene cleaner worth hiring?

For most owners, yes. Blood and body fluids carry health risks, odor can linger for months, and mistakes can leave hidden contamination. Professionals remove the hazard and give the owner records that insurers accept.

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.

Property in Albuquerque unsafe after a crime?

Compassionate, private and careful from the first call to the final check.
