Richmond Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
How do I choose a homicide cleanup company?
Ask what training the crew has, how waste is disposed of, what records you get and how privacy is protected. A good company explains each step in plain words and answers questions before work starts.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
What happens to belongings and keepsakes?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to go. The team tells you what it finds, so you decide what matters.
