What Owners Want to Know About Homicide Cleaning in Acres Home

How do I choose a homicide cleanup company?

Ask what training the crew has, how waste is disposed of, what records you get and how privacy is protected. A good company explains each step in plain words and answers questions before work starts.

Does the Texas program pay if I clean it myself?

A person who cleans alone can be reimbursed for supplies. Hiring a company may allow the company's service costs to be reimbursed. Either way, keep every receipt. Only the Texas Attorney General can decide a claim.

Is the family expected to clean the scene?

No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.

Who cleans up murder scenes?

Specialized homicide cleaners do. Police and investigators gather evidence and then leave. After the scene is released, the owner, family or estate can book a homicide cleanup crew to remove the hazards.

When can homicide cleanup begin?

Only after law enforcement releases the scene. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. Ask the police when the property can be entered.

Can a business or vehicle be cleaned after a homicide?

Yes. Crews clean offices, shops and vehicles. For a vehicle, law enforcement usually processes it first, so confirm it has been released. Businesses can often plan work around staff and customers.
