What We Do
What Is Crime Scene Cleanup — And Why Is a Professional Required?
When law enforcement finishes their investigation, they leave the scene as found — the cleanup is the responsibility of the property owner or family. Crime scene cleanup is the professional removal and decontamination of biohazardous materials left behind after a violent crime, trauma, or death.
Blood and bodily fluids from crime scenes contain potentially deadly blood-borne pathogens — including HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C — that can survive on surfaces for hours to days. Standard household cleaning products are not effective against these pathogens. Professional remediation requires OSHA-compliant methods, full PPE, and EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants.
Post-Investigation Cleanup
After law enforcement clears the scene, we remove fingerprint dust, evidence tape residue, and all biohazardous material — restoring your property completely.
Pathogen Decontamination
All blood, tissue, and bodily fluids treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants proven effective against blood-borne pathogens.
Trauma Odor Elimination
Industrial-grade enzymatic and oxidizing deodorization — permanently eliminating odors rather than masking them, restoring air quality completely.
Compassionate, Trauma-Informed
Our team is trained not just technically but to engage with families and survivors with genuine empathy and absolute respect for the situation.

Our Process
Our 6-Step Crime Scene Cleanup Process
Every crime scene cleanup follows our rigorous, fully documented process — ensuring safe, thorough, and respectful remediation from the moment we arrive to the final walkthrough.
01
Initial Contact & Dispatch
You call — a real person answers, 24/7. We listen, gather information about the situation and location, confirm law enforcement has cleared the scene, and dispatch our certified team immediately. No automated systems, no voicemail.
02
Scene Assessment
Our technicians assess the full scope of the scene — identifying all contaminated surfaces, structural penetration by biohazardous materials, affected areas, required PPE, and the specialized equipment and disinfectants needed.
03
Containment & Protection
We establish containment of the trauma scene to prevent cross-contamination. All team members don full PPE, and unaffected areas of the property are protected before remediation begins.
04
Biohazard Removal
All blood, tissue, bodily fluids, and contaminated materials are carefully removed, including materials that have soaked into porous surfaces such as flooring, subflooring, walls, or furniture. All waste is properly contained for compliant disposal.
05
Disinfection & Deodorization
All affected surfaces are treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants. Fingerprint dust, evidence tape, and post-investigation residue is removed. Industrial deodorization equipment permanently eliminates all trauma-related odors.
06
Verification & Documentation
A final inspection confirms the property is completely safe, sanitized, and ready to re-enter. We provide full written documentation — scope of work, itemized invoice, and before/after records — for your insurance claim and peace of mind.

"They came in an unmarked vehicle and wore plain clothes — exactly what we asked for. Our neighbors had no idea what had happened. The cleanup was so thorough that you would never know anything had occurred in that room. They also helped us with the insurance documentation, which was a relief."

Common Questions
Crime Scene Cleanup FAQs — Fort Worth, TX
Answers to the most common questions we receive about crime scene and trauma cleanup in Fort Worth, TX.
Who is responsible for cleaning up a crime scene in Texas?
In Texas, law enforcement investigates and processes the crime scene, but cleanup is not their responsibility. Once police and investigators release the scene, cleanup becomes the responsibility of the property owner, tenant, or family. Professional crime scene cleanup companies like Biohazard Cleanup Fort Worth are certified to safely remediate these scenes. See more FAQs here.
Does insurance cover crime scene cleanup in Texas?
Many homeowner's and renter's insurance policies in Texas include coverage for crime scene and trauma cleanup. Additionally, the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation (CVC) program can provide financial assistance to qualifying victims and families. We provide full itemized documentation to support your insurance claim and can assist with CVC referrals. Call us at +1 (817) 547-0217 and we'll walk you through the options.
How soon after law enforcement clears the scene can cleanup begin?
We can begin cleanup as soon as law enforcement officially releases the scene and authorizes remediation. We recommend calling us as early as possible — even before the scene is released — so we can dispatch our team and begin the moment clearance is granted. We coordinate with you and can often begin the same day the scene is released.
Will your vehicles and uniforms identify you as crime scene cleaners?
Absolutely not, upon your request. We completely understand the need for discretion. We can arrive in unmarked vehicles, wear plain civilian clothing, and take every precaution to ensure that neighbors, building residents, and passersby are not made aware of the nature of the work being performed. Your privacy is our priority, and we take it very seriously.
How long does crime scene cleanup take?
Duration varies significantly based on the type, severity, and extent of the situation. A minor trauma scene may be fully remediated in a few hours. A complex homicide scene or one with extensive structural penetration by biohazardous materials may require one to three days. We provide a timeline estimate during our initial on-site assessment and keep you informed of our progress throughout the process.
Can you clean a crime scene in an apartment or rental property in Fort Worth?
Yes — we clean crime and trauma scenes in all property types, including apartments, condos, rental homes, commercial buildings, hotels, and vehicles. We work frequently with property managers and landlords throughout Fort Worth and DFW. We work efficiently to restore units quickly, with full documentation for insurance and liability purposes, minimizing vacancy downtime wherever possible.
