Blood Scene Cleanup in Department Store

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

The manager of the large department store was tired. With just three days before Christmas he had been working fourteen hours per day minimum since the day after Thanksgiving. His feet were killing him and he was worried his store total sales would not reach last years figures. He needed to have three brisk days of business. At 8:30 p.m. he got a call from security that a shoplifting was in progress over in the computer and games department. As he approached the section he saw two of his security guards seek to physically apprehend the suspect. Fortunately they were behind an aisle that could not be observed by other customers at that point in time because customers were dispersed elsewhere.

As he got closer, he saw the perpetrator pull out a knife and stab one of the guards. He ran over and assisted the other guard literally tackling the man wielding the knife and immediately called his assistant manager to get emergency medical help and direct that they come around to the back of the store. He then called 911 and requested the police do the same. By 8:40 they both had arrived and the injured security guard was lifted on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Further the police arrested the shoplifter.

His big problem now was getting that part of the store back into the shape necessary for it to be open to the public by the next morning and to be able to state unequivocally that there is no undue health risk that would result from shopping there. The police officer had recommended he call a blood scene cleaner company or trauma scene cleaner company. The company he called, Advanced Bio-Treatment, also did crime scene cleanups, accident scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups not to mention staph infection scene cleanups so they were well suited for the task.

The person at the company with whom they spoke understood the gravity of the situation and the time constraints under which they had to operate. They sent out a crew that arrived about ten thirty p.m. and cleaned and decontaminated the affected area of the store by 2 a.m. As the manager lay down to get two or three hours of sleep before the two busiest days of the year he was able to sleep well because he had learned his security guard was fine and he knew his computer and games department would be open and immaculate in the morning.

Crime Scene Cleanup at Nightclub Shooting

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

In the alley behind the nightclub a stretch Hummer pulled up. One of the back passenger windows was rolled down. A few words, inaudible to all but the two young guys having the conversation, were exchanged. One of the passengers exited with a briefcase in hand. As he walked towards the nightclub, the man who had been chatting with him from outside the limo sent a text message to someone on his cell phone. Just moments later, two men, hiding behind barriers (a dipsey dumpster and a storage shed) fired a flurry of shots at the man with the briefcase who went down. The Hummer backed up and the windows lowered just enough to allow the barrels of two weapons to emerge. A firefight ensued. Within less than twenty seconds four people were shot dead and a briefcase that had been full of currency was breached and money was fluttering around the parking lot much of it stained red with blood.

In less than a minute the first police unit arrived and within two there were about six police vehicles with no less than nine officers on scene. A detective was dispatched to the location and a crime scene processing team was also requested. Several men were held for questioning. The area was processed and a crime scene cleaning company was called in to clean up the vicinity.

By the time the crime scene cleaners arrived, all the money had been collected and placed in evidence. Still there was blood everywhere not to mention shards of eviscerated flesh. With experience in murder scene cleanings, crime scene cleanings, homicide scene cleanings, suicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, staph infection cleanings and mrsa infection cleanings, they had plenty of exposure to blood cleanup and human tragedies. Rarely though did they see a scene so brutally overwhelmed by carnage. As the crime occurred in a popular upscale party district of the city, it was imperative that the crime scene clean up company work diligently to complete their task so “business as usual” could commence as soon as possible in the area.

As the sun rose over the metropolitan area and this part of town, the homicide scene clean up company scoured the parking lot doing a thorough blood cleanup. While the homicide scene cleaning company finished their job by 8:30 a.m., the police detective knew from the conflicting accounts, his task of figuring what had transpired was going to take much longer.

The Scene of the Crime Scene Cleanup

Friday, July 16th, 2010

To her amazement, her apartment looked cleaner than it had in months. In fact, it had not looked this clean when she moved in or, for that matter, after any of her regular cleaning lady’s weekly trips to her apartment. The reason she noted this was that, while she was off on business, a burglar had broken in to an apartment below hers. When one of the neighbors called the police, the perpetrator fled by climbing up the external fire escape to her apartment where he broke in through her window. The police followed him into her apartment, breaking down the door, and firing three shots at the burglar. Two of the shots hit him causing him to bleed profusely on her immaculate hard wood floors.

After the police arrested the man and collected evidence, they contacted the building management which put in an order to get the door fixed. They also contacted a crime scene cleaner company. This crime scene cleanup company, with its experience in homicide scenes, death scenes, trauma scenes and accident scenes, knew exactly what types of cleaning solutions were necessary to clean blood from the floors, one of the big selling points she was looking at when she rented the place. They also cleaned out all of the debris and glass near the window and removed all of the tissue separated from the burglar when he was shot. Then the crime scene clean up company completely sanitized the entire apartment from the cross contamination caused by police and medical personnel.

When she got back to the apartment she expected to have a weird feeling about the fact that a man had been shot there. But the thoroughness of the job done by the crime scene cleaners made it difficult, if not impossible to feel that way.

Thorough Decontamination Is Important In Blood Cleanup Work

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Proper cleanup of a blood trauma scene involves not merely the removal of all visible evidence of the blood and its droplets. A thorough decontamination program is warranted because of the byproducts of decomposition. Accordingly a professional crime scene clean up company, homicide scene clean up company, suicide scene clean up company, blood scene clean up company or death scene clean up company should be brought in to assess the environmental effects and perform a blood scene clean up accordingly.

These crime scene clean up companies, accident scene clean up companies, blood clean up companies, staph infection clean up companies, mrsa clean up companies, odor removal clean up companies, homicide scene clean up companies and suicide clean up companies or meth lab clean up companies all use the most modern solvents, disinfectants and chemicals all specially designed to decontaminate the type of hazard a blood scene poses.

Reliance on your regular maintenance and cleaning crew to perform an accident scene cleaning, crime scene cleaning, homicide scene cleaning, blood scene cleaning, meth lab cleaning, odor removal cleaning and death scene cleaning may be shortsighted. Enlist the types of professionals that can extinguish all chance of health risk. Rely instead on a professional crime scene clean up company, homicide scene clean up company, suicide scene clean up company, blood scene clean up company or death scene clean up company. It’s the right thing to do and, in the long run, the financially prudent thing to do as well.

Campus Restoration A Priority After School Shooting

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

As we commemorate the anniversary of the horrific events at Virginia Tech we recognize that many actions were required by the University, the local community and the State of Virginia to adequately respond to the tragedy after it occurred (regardless of any well-intended views one may have about the campus police and administration response as the incident was unfolding). The University set up mental health counseling for students, conducted memorials to honor the victims and cancelled classes for a few days to allow students to visit their parents and family while the wounds from the shootings were still fresh. One aspect of this effort that has not been noted is the trauma scene cleanup.

Just as the other responses each seek to mend the psychological trauma to the members of the university community, a professional trauma scene cleanup regime, executed by a crime scene cleanup company, homicide scene cleanup company, suicide scene cleanup company, blood scene cleanup company or death scene cleanup company is intended to act as a vital step in the process of getting past the horror of the tragic events of that morning. Certainly the primary objective of the death scene, suicide scene, homicide scene or crime scene cleaning is the full removal of toxic and hazardous material from the places where the shootings occurred. But that does not deny the contribution that makes to the ability of students to resume activities in those particular classrooms when they returned from the hiatus called by the university.

An essential component of the reaction to any tragic criminal event is the mental health treatment afforded its victims, witnesses and wider community around those individuals. While we generally would consider the work of a professional crime scene cleanup company, homicide scene cleanup company, suicide scene cleanup company, blood scene cleanup company or death scene cleanup company to be one of handling and removing physical substances, from a trauma scene cleanup site, the fact is the completion of their task is a necessary predicate to the community’s emotional recovery from the devastation.

Landlord Faces Suicide Cleanup

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Prior to March 1st John Stephens, a landlord of a multi-unit apartment complex receives a notice from one of his tenants, named Robert, that Robert wishes to exercise his option to terminate the lease at the end of his lease term on March 31. As thirty-day notice is all that is required under the provisions of the lease, Robert satisfies the requisite notice requirement. Expecting him to move out as indicated, Stephens places ads for the upcoming vacancy and interviews several prospective tenants. After a series of interviews and chances to show the apartment, one of the applicants comes in and signs a lease and plans to move in by April the 5th. Stephens contacts Robert and says that he needs to do a walkthrough before the 31st to see if any of the apartment was damaged and then determine how much of the security deposit should be returned to Robert, if any.

When Stephens does not hear back from Robert by the 29th of March, he goes over and knocks on Robert’s door but gets no answer. He returns to his office and calls Robert but no one picks up. He notices Robert’s car is in the parking lot. Finally on the 31st getting nervous that he has insufficient time to get the unit ready for the incoming tenant, he gets the custodian to unlock the door. Before the door is even completely opened, Stephens can tell that an acrid smell permeates the air. When he walks in, he sees blood everywhere and a severely mutilated corpse. Lying beside the corpse is a shotgun. Robert has apparently committed suicide.

Stephens feels sick as does his custodian. After calling the police, he wonders how he is going to get the unit ready for the new tenant coming in on the 5th. That’s when he decides to contact a suicide scene cleaner company. This company which also does accident scene cleanups, crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups is at the unit later that day. They assess the damage, consult with police, begin disposing of loose tissue and scouring the flooring, carpet and drapes to eliminate all the blood and then use additional solvents to sanitize the apartment. Finally they use some sprays and chemicals to remove the odor completely. By the end of the day, Stephens can worry about removing the furniture and other personal property of the deceased. Before the 5th, the apartment is ready for the new tenants. Stephens feels horrible about the incident but is thankful that he had the option of bringing in the suicide scene cleaner company.

Accident Scene Taints Children’s Playgrounds

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

It’s a beautiful morning in the neighborhood that the Johnsons reside. A gorgeous Saturday in April when the dogwoods have bloomed and the azaleas are shimmering with pink color. Not only are the three Johnson children bursting at the seams to get outside and either play baseball or throw a football or ride their bikes but in the back of their parents’ minds is the certainty that the kids will be busy playing all day. The weather forecast is for blue skies and mild temperatures with zero chance of rain.

What is not known to the Johnsons is that on the Friday night before a bad traffic accident had occurred just down the street at a place that their kids always go on their bikes. Still left at the accident scene is the residue of blood and tissue that neither the police nor the EMTs that responded had seen fit to clean. When the kids went down there after breakfast they saw the dried up blood and other remnants of the horrible accident from the preceding night.

Now if you were the Johnsons would you want your kids exposed to this? If the police or the city in which the Johnsons live had just brought in a blood scene cleaning company or an accident scene cleaning company then these kids would not be subject to this nearby hazard. Accident scene cleaning companies frequently include crime scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups. So a city police force can rely on these accident scene cleaning companies to make sure that a gorgeous spring day in the neighborhood can be just that for all the kids; not an extension of the horrible incident that occurred the night previously.

The Experience Is Necessary

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

A family of four is spending a comfortable Sunday afternoon strolling down the sidewalk in their neighborhood walking to a nearby park. A negligent driver, drunk from the several alcoholic beverages he consumed, cruises down the road at speeds in excess of fifteen miles per hour over the stated limit. As it goes past one intersection another car pulls out. In a feeble effort to avoid the other car, the intoxicated driver swerves, goes up on to the sidewalk and hits the entire family and a utility pole. The entire family is killed and the driver is severely injured, bleeding profusely and suffering from many broken bones.

Within minutes the city police arrive at the scene. They immediately call an ambulance for the driver who will be held in custody once at the hospital. They then call an accident scene cleaner company. With expertise in suicide scene cleanups, meth lab cleanups, odor removal cleanups and other death scene cleanups in addition to blood scene cleanups, this company wields the experience necessary to handle the job. In this particular case, both the mother and father were widely known in the neighborhood. Each in their own right was esteemed within their professional circles and within the community. The trauma among those in the area is expected to be significant.

By jumping into quick, but not reckless, action, the accident scene cleaners are able to restore the sight to its previous beauty. By the next morning, several mourners and others who wish to pay their respects by placing flowers and notes of affection about those who lost their lives. Had the accident scene cleaning company not done their job with such esprit, this fitting, if sad, memorial would not have been able to take place.

The Unbearable Stress

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

When a family learns that one of its members has taken of the tragic step  committing suicide the last thing that they want to see is the physical remnants of that horrible act. Suicide scene clean up companies can be brought in to remove the tissue and blood that gets eviscerated and scattered by those forms of suicide that involve a firearm. Subject to police permission, the suicide scene clean up companies can rid the site of these remnants relieving the family of the unwanted reminders of such a painful event.

But these suicide scene clean up companies serve other interests as well. First of all, many of these suicide scene clean up companies also perform blood scene clean ups, murder scene clean ups and other forms of crime scene clean ups. Accordingly, these suicide scene clean up companies frequently have expertise in the area of removing bio hazards so they know how to ensure that any tissue or blood residue can spread and infiltrate an otherwise safe environment.

They use chemicals and solutions and other devices to sanitize the building or area in which the suicide takes place. This allows people to continue to live safely at the location. Of course, unfortunately in many cases, the families of the lost one cannot handle the psychological toll of continuing to live in the same house or apartment where such a tragedy took place but they will be able to sell the house or apartment or have it relet if the sanitary conditions are not in question.

As difficult a time as it must be for family who has suffered such a major loss, the services provided by suicide scene clean up companies can alleviate some of the unbearable stress experienced by the family and solve some of the concrete environmental issues posed by the incident.
