Homicide Cleanup explained
Inside a Pima County Homicide Cleanup Service
Homicide cleanup is a specialized form of crime scene cleanup that removes blood, bodily fluids and other contaminated materials after investigators finish their work and release the property.
Law enforcement and the medical examiner focus on the investigation. They do not clean the property. Once the scene is released, property owners, relatives, landlords or other authorized people arrange the homicide cleaning service.
The cleanup process goes beyond ordinary cleaning services. Cleanup technicians locate contamination in the affected area and surrounding areas, protect unaffected rooms, remove materials that cannot be disinfected and treat cleanable surfaces. The work also includes hazardous waste packaging, waste disposal, odor removal and records for an insurance company when requested.
- Blood or bodily fluids found on walls, contents and flooring
- Hidden contamination under carpet, flooring and baseboards
- Investigation residue left behind once officials release the scene
- Odors affecting absorbent materials, indoor air or HVAC routes

First steps
How to Prepare for Murder Cleanup in Pima County
Before technicians enter for cleanup, focus on staying away from exposure, preserving helpful claim details and respecting the active investigation. Your first steps are:
Call (888) 440-9227- Check that law enforcement officially released the scene. Confirm with the investigating officer or detective that the scene is open to authorized entry and cleaning may start.
- Keep people away from the affected areas. Close doors when possible, keep children and pets out, and avoid walking through blood into surrounding areas.
- Leave contaminated materials in place. Keep furniture and carpet in place, and do not clean surfaces. Moving items can spread contamination and disturb evidence that was not collected.
- Contact the insurance company. Report the loss, ask whether insurance cover applies and record the claim number and the adjuster's document requests.
- Share access and scene details. Explain any police entry limits, identify the rooms that may be affected and name who can approve work for the homicide cleanup company.

Step by step
The Greater Tucson Homicide Cleanup Process
Scene release comes before a controlled remediation process can start. Decisions at every stage depend on contamination travel, applicable waste rules and whether each material is suitable to be saved.
Homicide Scene Assessment
The authorized person identifies known affected areas, and technicians inspect nearby surfaces, floor edges, contents and possible travel paths.
Containment and Protective Gear
The work zone is separated from clean rooms. Cleanup technicians use suitable personal protective equipment and controls that reduce tracking beyond the scene.
Homicide Blood Cleanup
Collection of visible blood and bodily fluids comes first, using surface-specific methods before the area is carefully cleaned and disinfected.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
The smallest practical sections of upholstery, subfloor, carpet, padding or drywall are removed when complete disinfection is not possible.
Homicide Cleaning and Disinfection
Each retained surface receives detailed scene cleaning, then an EPA-registered disinfectant stays wet for its full label contact time.
Murder Scene Odor Removal
With the source removed, remaining materials, adjoining areas and the room air may receive air filtration and targeted odor treatment.
Homicide Waste Disposal Records
Contaminated waste is sealed, labeled and moved according to applicable rules, with disposal records retained when available.
Final Homicide Cleanup Check
Once work is complete, retained personal property is returned as arranged, and removed finishes are documented for restoration services.

Health and safety
Health Risks of DIY Homicide Cleanup in Arizona
Serious health risks may remain in bodily fluids, blood and contaminated material out of sight. Those risks can still be present if the visible spot appears dry or limited.
Concealed Contamination During Murder Scene Cleanup
Seams, wall voids, grout, subfloors and carpet pads may hold fluids. Material concealed behind or under a surface remains after only the visible spot is cleaned.
Managing Hazardous Waste From Homicide Clean Up
Applicable medical waste rules may require regulated disposal, transportation and packaging for used protective equipment and saturated porous materials.
Bloodborne Pathogens During Homicide Cleaning
Blood can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Hepatitis B can live on surfaces for at least seven days, the CDC says, which makes controls necessary even for dry blood.
Can you clean it yourself? With disposable gloves, a small quantity of fresh blood may be cleaned off a hard, non-porous area by keeping an EPA-registered disinfectant on it for the full label contact time. Stay out and seek professional cleanup if blood affected drywall, fabric, wood, carpet or any space whose boundaries are uncertain.

Questions
Stockham Frequently Asked Questions on Homicide Cleanup
Can homeowners insurance cover death cleanup in Arizona?
A homeowners policy might pay for homicide scene cleanup or death cleanup, but coverage varies according to policy language, exclusions, the event and the deductible. Speak with the insurer before cleanup starts. Check which exact records you need before work begins, along with policy terms for affected materials, personal property, restoration and biohazard cleanup.
How is personal property treated during murder clean up?
Unaffected items can remain under protection or be moved away from the contaminated zone to a clean location. Items within the scene are assessed individually. Cleaning may work for hard, non-porous items. Before deciding, the team should speak with you about papers, photos and keepsakes, while absorbent property may have to be removed.
May a homicide cleanup involve sewage or hoarding conditions?
Yes, separate hazards may exist at the same property. Hoarding cleanup services can address heavy contents after evidence restrictions end. A sewage backup may make sewage cleanup necessary, while resulting water damage might also need drying. Each hazard needs its own containment, cleaning process and disposal plan.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
A policy may pay covered costs in full or in part once the deductible applies, but coverage is not identical for every situation. Give claim information to the insurance company and ask whether emergency response work, affected building materials, biohazard cleanup and restoration are covered. Retain all photos, work notes, bills and waste records.
How do professionals clean up a murder scene?
The process begins with cleanup technicians identifying the affected area and establishing containment. Technicians wearing protective gear collect visible material, remove porous items that cannot be disinfected, clean remaining surfaces and apply an EPA-registered disinfectant for its label contact time. They then package hazardous waste and check the completed scope.
In Stockham, how much might a homicide cleanup service cost?
For violent crime scene work, the published homicide cleanup cost is $2,500 to $9,000. Published figures put a smaller scene between $2,000 and $6,000, while the larger range runs from $3,000 to $10,000. Police release status, scene dimensions, depth of contamination, number of rooms and disposal requirements all affect the scope.
