Crime Scene Cleanup for Ann Arbor property owners
Police and investigators secure and document a scene — they do not clean it. When the tape comes down, responsibility for biological cleanup falls to the property owner, landlord, or next of kin.

What Ann Arbor & Washtenaw properties bring to this job
Washtenaw County carries an unusually high share of rental and student housing, which drives landlord and property-manager work alongside owner-occupied calls. Covered from the I-94 and US-23 interchange area, which puts most of the county inside a short response window.
Rental turnover drives a steady volume of landlord calls, where documentation matters as much as the remediation — the clearance report is what protects the owner at re-let and on disclosure. Turnover peaks in late summer, when properties sitting empty between tenancies are most often where a problem is first discovered.
Why it needs remediation, not cleaning
Blood and body fluids at a crime scene are regulated as potentially infectious material under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. Hepatitis B can remain viable on a dry surface for up to seven days. Household cleaners do not inactivate these pathogens, and porous materials such as carpet pad, subfloor, and drywall wick fluid far beyond the visible stain.
Every Ann Arbor job ends the same way: verification testing, a written clearance report, and a file you can hand to an adjuster. We treat a Ann Arbor job the way we would treat our own property. Material that absorbed contamination is removed rather than sealed over, and the clearance testing happens before we leave, not as an afterthought.
If this is happening right now: do not enter the area or attempt to clean it. Call us at (619) 480-1689. We answer 24 hours a day and can usually be in Ann Arbor within 30 minutes.
Our process
Identical standard on every job in Ann Arbor, documented from start to clearance.
Secure and assess
We establish containment, map the affected area with moisture and ALS inspection, and photograph everything for your insurance claim.
Contain
Negative air machines with HEPA filtration and physical barriers prevent cross-contamination into unaffected rooms.
Remove
All contaminated porous material is cut out and bagged as regulated medical waste. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned, then treated.
Disinfect
EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants are applied at the labeled dwell time — the step most often skipped by uncertified cleaners.
Verify
ATP surface testing confirms the area is returned to a safe baseline. You receive written documentation.
Restore
We coordinate flooring, drywall, and paint so the space is returned usable, not just sanitized.
Crime Scene Cleanup in Ann Arbor — common questions
Who is responsible for cleaning up a crime scene?
Law enforcement is not responsible for cleaning. In Michigan, responsibility falls to the property owner, the tenant's estate, or the next of kin. Most homeowners and commercial policies cover the remediation cost, and we bill the carrier directly so you are not paying out of pocket while a claim is open.
Does homeowners insurance cover crime scene cleanup?
In most cases yes. Biohazard remediation is typically covered under the dwelling or contents provisions of a standard homeowners policy, often without a deductible applied to the cleanup line. We handle the documentation, photographs, and carrier communication as part of the job.
