Situations

What happened?

Pick the closest match. If none fits, call anyway and describe it.

What a cleanup company does

Crime scene, trauma and bio hazard cleaning all describe the same work: removing blood, body fluids and anything they have soaked into, then cleaning and disinfecting what is left.

The crew usually seals off the room with plastic sheeting first. Carpet, padding, mattresses and other soft materials that have absorbed fluids are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then treated with a disinfectant.

In California this waste is regulated. The Trauma Scene Waste Management Act says it must leave the home once the removal is done and go to a permitted medical waste facility, not the trash.

Three things worth knowing before you hire

Ask about state registration

Companies that do this work for pay must register with the California Department of Public Health as trauma scene waste management practitioners. CDPH publishes the list.

The state board pays registered companies only

If the death or injury came from a crime in a home or vehicle, the California Victim Compensation Board can help with cleanup, but only when the company is on that CDPH list. CalVCB explains the rule.

Help with the claim is local

In Riverside County the District Attorney's office handles claim approval for CalVCB. Its claims unit is at (951) 955-5460. District Attorney, victim compensation.

Common questions

Can I clean it up myself?

For anything more than a small amount of blood, it is safer not to. Blood and body fluids can carry disease, and soaked materials usually have to be removed and disposed of as medical waste under California rules.

How soon can someone come?

That depends on the company and on when the police and the coroner release the home. Ask on the call.

Do I have to be there?

Not usually. Many families let someone else, such as a friend or the landlord, open the door. Ask the company how they handle access and keys.

Who pays?

It depends on what happened. Victim compensation, insurance, a landlord or the estate may pay part. Who pays for biohazard cleanup goes through each.

When you are ready, call

You do not need to know what kind of cleanup it is. Say what happened and where, and an independent company that works in the Riverside area will talk it through with you. Hiring them is your choice.
