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.
You get the same documentation on a Ypsilanti job as on any other — scope, products and dwell times used, disposal manifests, and verification results. Consistency is the whole point of a documented process. Porous material out, regulated waste manifested, hospital-grade disinfection at labeled dwell time, surface verification, written report — in that order, every time.
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 Ypsilanti within 30 minutes.
Our process
Identical standard on every job in Ypsilanti, 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 Ypsilanti — 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.
