Owenwood Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

Who pays for crime scene cleanup in Texas?

Several sources may help. Insurance comes first. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up after crimes on or after July 14, 2016. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays.

How do I choose a crime scene cleanup company?

Crime scene cleanup companies differ, so ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, what records it gives you and how it keeps the work private. Companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste must register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Can I clean a crime scene myself?

It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.

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.

When can crime scene cleanup start?

Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.

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.
