Moving Forward After Tragedy: How Professional Cleaning Crews Can Help
Traumatic events like murder, suicide, accidents, and unattended death leave behind deep emotional scars for families and loved ones. Unfortunately, they can also leave behind difficult and hazardous cleanup. Grieving loved ones are already dealing with enough anguish; the painful task of cleanup should not be added to the list.
That’s where trained experts like The BioClean Team come in. With compassion, empathy, and discretion, professional cleaning crews can safely and effectively handle this task, allowing families to focus on healing and moving forward. Here’s how expert cleanup crews can help.
LIFTING THE TRAUMA OF CLEANUP
After the law enforcement, EMS, and coroner leave the scene of a tragedy like a murder, suicide, or unattended death, loved ones are left with the painful and overwhelming task of cleanup.
Contacting a compassionate and discreet cleaning crew to handle the cleanup lifts the burden of this traumatic task, helping loved ones begin their healing process.
REMOVING HEALTH RISKS
Coming in contact with biohazards like blood and other bodily fluids can pose serious health risks. To ensure everyone’s safety, the area should remain clear of family and loved ones until a professional cleaning crew has arrived.
Following strict protocol and procedures, the cleanup team will safely and properly remove all hazardous materials and decontaminate the area.
They will not only decontaminate the immediate and obvious blood and bodily fluid spill, but will also inspect for secondary contaminants, such as spatter, drip, or tracking. An appropriate disinfectant must be used to kill the potential pathogens. Aside from the health risks, any unfound biohazards will start to emit an odor over time.
Contacting professionally trained technicians who can identify, clean, and decontaminate even the smallest areas provides families with peace of mind that their environment is safe.
REDUCING ADDED STRESS
When there’s an unexpected, traumatic event like a murder, suicide, or unattended death, contacting a discreet and compassionate cleaning crew can help reduce the added stress that families can encounter.
For instance, properly trained technicians will arrive on the scene in discreet vehicles and will provide comprehensive cleaning services, out of sight of curious neighbors and onlookers. If the crime scene is in plain sight, they can set up large containment partitions to be as discreet as the scene allows.
There’s also the financial burden and stress of dealing with insurance providers. In many cases, especially when it’s a crime, accident, or unattended death, homeowners and property insurance policies will cover biohazard cleanup.
Remediation teams will work directly with insurance providers, handling the paperwork, providing detailed documentation, and making sure every step of the process complies with local and federal regulations. It helps reduce stress and financial worries for families.
REGAINING A SENSE OF NORMALCY
Hiring a professional team to handle the painful task of cleanup can help erase the daily reminder of tragedy. It can help survivors move on and regain a sense of normalcy.
In addition, restoring the environment and ensuring it’s safe provides family members with some peace of mind, helping them to move forward and begin the healing process.
FINDING THE RIGHT CLEANING CREW
During this difficult time, families need to find a cleaning crew that possesses the compassion, expertise, and certifications they require. Consider a cleaning crew that provides the following:
- It is a local company with crews that remain calm and focused when faced with traumatic situations, while being compassionate and understanding towards family and friends.
- They are available when you need them with fast 24/7/365 service.
- They work with your homeowners, renters, or car insurance provider to alleviate added stress and financial worries.
- To avoid being seen by neighbors and onlookers, the team will arrive in discreet vehicles. If the scene is in public view, they can set up large containment partitions.
- The team follows the protocol and procedures mandated by OSHA and the California Department of Public Health.
- The California Department of Public Health licenses the company as a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner, and the company adheres to all state and federally mandated cleanup procedures.
