The following suicide cleanup situation has happened in Georgia (GA), Florida (FL), South Carolina (SC) and all over the nation in homes and offices.  A man walked into his office, sat down and drew in a deep breath of air.  He then let out a sigh, gently pulled a gun out and shot himself in the head.  Unfortunately, he peppered his co-workers and anything else that fell within a foot foot radius with blood, body fluid, and brain matter.  The primary contamination site was vast, to say the least, but was spread further by panicked employees and later by first responders and police.  Blood was literally everywhere; the elevator, emergency escapes, stairwells, as well as all railings and doorknobs on that floor.  All together, this commotion had inadvertently spread unseen fluids throughout the building in many unnoticeable areas, making it very difficult to locate all potentially infectious material.

In this situation there was bio-hazardous material that was visible, which makes it easier to spot the main source of contamination.  However, what most people do not realize is that there is greater amount of contamination that is actually unseen.  A small amount of visible blood could have a far larger amount of fluid underneath or absorbed into that material.  Sadly, many local ‘mom-and-pop’ death scene cleaning companies make the mistake of only disinfecting and extracting contamination that is seen; usually overlooking splatter or hard to reach crevices and areas of cross contamination common in suicides.  An inexperienced death cleanup company should be avoided as improper decontamination of a death site is detrimental to the health and safety of all whom come in contact with this space.

The suicide clean up company that was hired in this instance was chosen simply because of its proximity.  Without any additional research into background or qualification, building managers contracted this suicide cleanup company in haste.  This is common because they want the results of suicides and deaths cleaned up quickly.  When the company was done, people were allowed back in.  The area looked and smelled clean, however, this placidness was about to give way to an unfortunate event.  Everything seemed fine, that is, until blood and brain matter once again shot across the room.  Contamination that was on top of the ceiling fans ejected from the rotating blades sprinkling people and re-contaminating the area.  This severe mishap led to the remediation of the entire space at an additional cost by an expert suicide cleanup company.  Plus, more time was wasted on services that were supposedly already performed.  Fortunately, for the office managers, the second suicide cleanup company was thorough.

Not only do you need a suicide cleanup company that is competent but compassionate as well.  There is a lot of anguish from the loss of someone dear, so, other than a quick response time, a trauma cleanup company must be available 24/7 and respond with experienced and compassionate personnel.  Also, choosing a business that has actual company vehicles and invests in tools, equipment, etc. is recommended.  Instead of choosing the closest company, try a responsive and well equipped firm.  The extra hour you spend today choosing a suicide or death cleanup company may save you time and money.

A negligent trauma cleanup company is only a burden.  So if they are the cheapest or the closest, take that opportunity to reflect whether this company will really deliver the trauma scene cleanup results you require.  The more experience company may take a little longer, but price can be negotiated and in the end, safety is the most important factor in choosing a crime and trauma scene clean up company.  As a consumer, look for a company resume and references.  This way you are making sure a cleanup company has the experience to do the job.  Remember hasty decision may cost you in the long run. Most of all don’t be afraid to ask questions. Even if you think the question is stupid, improper, or might not even relate to the clean up, just ask it.  When the worst happens, you need a professional suicide cleanup company that you can depend on.
