These calls come at the hardest times: an unattended death, an injury, or a crime scene after police release it. Crews work discreetly, in unmarked vehicles when asked, and handle the scene start to finish.

Fluids travel under flooring and into subfloor and drywall, so what looks small on the surface often needs more removal than expected.

What to do first

1.Wait for police or the medical examiner to release the scene.
2.Keep family and pets out.
3.Don't try to clean it yourself.
4.Call your insurer; many policies cover this.
