The reality of being in the restoration cleanup industry is that we are often dealing with some of the most difficult situations in people’s lives. In the most extreme of circumstances, we deal with the sanitation of crime scenes. Thankfully, in the shooting that led to our recent job, the victims survived their injuries.
Providing a Compassionate Cleanup
It is not required by state law for law enforcement officials to clean up after a crime scene. The task falls to professional restoration companies, such as PuroClean. Our trained restoration professionals handle jobs like these with proper training and following strict safety procedures.
Our team arrived at the retail store in Arvada, CO, a few hours after the incident happened and just thirty minutes after we received the store’s notification. The police were still on the scene when we got there, and they told us that they had not released the property to be properly cleaned and disinfected yet. Then, an hour later, the store contacted us to let us know that we had authorization from the sheriff’s department to start our crime scene cleaning. In delicate situations like this, compassion is what drives us. We also understand the urgency to get back to pre-loss conditions for a commercial business.
Biohazard jobs, such as crime scene cleanups, require our technicians to be wearing full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). This is due to the potential exposure to bodily fluids and contaminants. Our crew also sets up a full containment of the area, so any substance involved does not affect uninvolved areas. After the scene is cleaned up and sanitized, we install Air Filtration Devices with HEPA and Carbon filters. These tools clean the air of any potential airborne contaminants.
Ultimately, the most important aspect of jobs like these is the health and safety of all those involved. The victims are in our thoughts and prayers and we wish them the quickest and smoothest of recoveries.
