Crime scene cleanup

Why Professional Crime Scene Cleanup is Crucial

Crime scenes often contain biohazards that pose serious health risks, including bloodborne pathogens such as Hepatitis B, HIV, and other infectious agents. Proper cleanup involves more than surface cleaning—it requires specialized training, equipment, and compliance with OSHA and EPA guidelines to ensure the area is safe for future use.

Attempting to clean up a crime scene without the proper expertise can result in exposure to dangerous substances, improper disposal of biohazardous waste, and lingering odors. Let PuroClean’s trained professionals handle the cleanup to protect your health and ensure legal and environmental compliance.

I had visits from 3 different teams over two weeks (one team returned 3-times) and they were all polite and professional. They were hard workers and very helpful in the heavy lifting after a flooded basement. I know that they were helping many other homes after this flood and were stretched thin. Thank you for the attention to my needs!
