Crime Scene Cleanup for Southfield 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.
We have been doing crime scene cleanup across Oakland County for years, and Southfield is inside our core Metro Detroit response area. We cover all 4 Southfield ZIP codes (48033, 48034, 48075, 48076) and the surrounding Oakland County communities. We bill homeowners and commercial insurance directly.
What Metro Detroit properties bring to this job
Oakland County runs from dense inner-ring suburbs to large-lot estate property and lake homes, so scope here varies more widely than anywhere else we work. Crews stage on both sides of the I-696 and I-94 corridors, so we are rarely more than a short run from any address in the tri-county area, including overnight and during rush hour.
Older homes here mean fluid reaches subfloor faster than in newer construction, and multi-family buildings raise the stakes on containment — contamination that spreads to a neighboring unit turns one claim into several. Heavy summer storms regularly surcharge combined sewers across the older neighborhoods, and we see basement backup volume spike within hours of a major rain event.
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.
Whatever the scope in Southfield, the standard does not move: material out, surfaces treated at full dwell time, result verified in writing. The parts that matter are the ones you cannot see afterwards: whether the subfloor came out, whether the disinfectant sat for its full contact time, whether anyone tested the result. We do all three and put them in writing.
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 Southfield within 30 minutes.
Our process
Identical standard on every job in Southfield, 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 Southfield — 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.
