Crime Scene Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Old Kensington, Philadelphia, PA

Is a crime scene cleaner worth hiring?

For most owners, yes. Blood and body fluids carry health risks, odor can linger for months, and mistakes can leave hidden contamination. Professionals remove the hazard and give the owner records that insurers accept.

What should I tell my insurance company?

State the facts plainly: what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and what paperwork it needs. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

Can a vehicle be cleaned after a crime?

Yes. Cleaners treat seats, carpet, headliners and vents, remove soaked materials and disinfect the cabin. Vehicles are often processed by law enforcement first, so confirm it has been released.

Is dried blood still dangerous?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.

Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.

What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
