Emergency Crime Scene & Hazardous Waste Cleanup Services in Ohio & West PA

We offer certified emergency crime scene and hazardous waste cleanup services in Ohio and West PA. Some of our key offering include:

1. Biohazard Remediation & Blood Cleanup You can count on our OSHA-compliant services to clean blood and bodily fluids in the crime scene area and sanitize the property with EPA-approved disinfectants. We use enzymatic cleaners and inspect the area after cleaning with ATP testing to verify there’s no blood-borne pathogen (HIV, Hepatitis) left behind to cause infections. In addition, our expert cleaners make sure to adhere to the DOT-regulated waste disposal to help protect the environment and promote public health.
2. Trauma Scene Cleanup (Suicide/Homicide) Our trauma scene cleanup experts address your property with utmost respect and offer discreet services in case of violent deaths. We clean the blood (while adhering to the CDC guidelines), tissues, ballistic residue, and offer structural repair (if required) while respecting the family’s privacy, combining forensic precision with compassionate care.
3. Decomposition & Unattended Death Cleanup Bodies unattended for days or weeks decompose, releasing fluids and gases that contaminate the air, water, and soil. Our experts make sure to remove all the biohazardous materials and neutralize odors using industrial hydroxyl generators and ozone machines to make the site a safe place for future occupancy. And our thorough cleaning services aren’t just limited to surface-level cleaning; we make sure to decontaminate the subflooring and treat insect infestations (if any).
4. Chemical & Tear Gas Our crime scene cleanup experts neutralize hazardous residues from sites exposed to chemical and tear gas, while using EPA guidelines for the disposal of chemical waste. Our services extend to HVAC system decontamination, disposal of porous materials (drywall, insulation), and soil remediation for carcinogens like chloroform.
5. Accident Cleanup (Vehicle/Industrial) While adhering to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and ANSI trauma scene guidelines, we remove biohazards from car crashes or workplace injuries (amputations, crush injuries). Our expert cleaners use enzymatic treatments for blood-soaked upholstery and machinery. Contact us for the precise removal of glass or shrapnel pieces with safety disposal methods.
6. Forensic Remediation & Fingerprint Dust Removal Once the evidence is gathered and the site is cleared, our experts start cleaning the crime scene. We use various methods, including HEPA vacuums and microfiber cloths, to eliminate carbon-based fingerprint powder and address hidden biological residues with luminol testing. Our cleaning services are especially thorough for surfaces and air systems that are likely to spread respiratory illness.
7. Crime Scene Assessment & Waste Management Our hazardous waste cleanup services involve pre-cleanup hazard evaluations using blacklight detection and moisture meters, and they extend to biohazardous waste disposal via DOT-compliant containers and certified medical waste transporters. In addition, we also assist with insurance claims approvals.
8. Meth Lab Cleanup & Decontamination We specialize in remediating toxic residues from illegal production sites involving methamphetamine or fentanyl. Our cleaners, with proper Level A hazmat suits and breathing gear, handle even the carcinogenic substances with extreme care. We remove and neutralize hazardous chemicals and corrosive by-products embedded in walls, flooring, and HVAC systems. Our post-remediation inspections include ensuring the air quality meets OSHA PEL (Permissible Exposure Limits).

Cost of Blood, Suicide, Trauma & Crime Scene Cleaning in Ohio & West PA

The cost of blood, suicide, trauma, and crime scene cleaning in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania depends on several key factors including the type of incident, volume of biohazard present, depth of contamination, and how long the scene remained unattended. Heavily contaminated areas or those involving multiple rooms may require advanced remediation, structural removal, or specialized odor treatments. Certified cleanup teams evaluate these conditions to determine service pricing.

Factor	Description
Type of Incident	Suicide, homicide, accident, or unattended death.
Biohazard Volume	Small (single room) vs. large (multiple rooms/vehicles).
Decontamination Level	Surface cleaning vs. deep sanitization (e.g., HVAC systems, subflooring).
Odor Removal	Mild odors (ozone) vs. severe decomposition (hydroxyl + thermal fogging).
Structural Repairs	Drywall, flooring, or insulation replacement.
Regulatory Compliance	Disposal fees, permits, and medical waste transportation.
Emergency Fees	After-hours or weekend response (common for trauma scenes).

Most companies offer free estimates and prioritize insurance coordination to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Always verify certifications (e.g., IICRC, OSHA) to ensure compliance and safety.

Americon Restoration’s Thorough Crime Scene Cleanup & Decontamination Process

Our crew arrives at your property fast but takes it time to do the job to ensure it’s done right the first time. The safety of our clients and their families is at stake with biohazard cleanup, so we ensure it’s done meticulously. Here’s how the process usually goes:

1. Initial Hazard Assessment & Containment

Upon arrival, the team conducts a thorough evaluation of the biohazard-affected area, documenting cleanup areas and risks such as bloodborne pathogens or chemical residues. Containment barriers are established using floor protection and specialized enclosures to prevent cross-contamination. Safety protocols, including PPE use, are enforced to protect both technicians and occupants during the process.

2. Biohazard Removal & Decontamination

All contaminated materials (e.g., biological waste, fluids) are carefully removed and disposed of in compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations. Antimicrobial treatments and odor-neutralizing agents are applied to sanitize surfaces and eliminate pathogens. Advanced equipment, such as HEPA vacuums and industrial-grade disinfectants, ensures thorough decontamination of the affected area.

3. Final Documentation & Regulatory Compliance

The process is meticulously documented with photographs, detailed notes, and moisture readings (if applicable) to validate compliance with health standards. A comprehensive report is generated for insurance claims, outlining the scope of work, disposal certifications, and safety measures. Post-cleanup monitoring ensures no residual hazards remain, and equipment is retrieved after final verification of a safe environment.

Cleaning Hazardous Waste from Crime Scene Waste Needs Professional Remediation

Crime scene cleanup requires professional expertise due to the release of over 400 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during decomposition, including sulfur-containing compounds like hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl trisulfide, nitrogen-containing compounds like cadaverine and putrescine, and aromatic compounds such as indole. These VOCs evolve through stages: autolysis (cells breaking down immediately after death), putrefaction (foul odors and bloating within hours to days), and active decay (tissue liquefaction and diamine release over days to weeks). Removing such toxic and stubborn contaminants requires expert cleaning techniques and advanced equipment. OSHA mandates training on chemical hazards and PPE use, as improper handling risks respiratory distress or long-term health effects. Professionals adhere to ANSI/IICRC standards, using industrial-grade disinfectants and containment protocols to neutralize biohazards, eliminate odors, and prevent pest infestations, ensuring spaces are safely restored.

5 Tips to Avoid Exposure to Crime Scene Biohazards & Blood Contact

When you discover a crime scene with potential bloodborne pathogents and other biohazards, the first thing you need to do is try to stay calm. Focus on your breathing and remember the following:

1. Do Not Touch or Disturb Anything

Never touch anything in the scene, especially blood, objects (weapons or syringes etc.), bodily fluids or the body itself. Pathogens like hepatitis or HIV can be present even in dried blood. Stay at least 10 feet away from the scene to avoid accidental exposure. Make sure to not to disturb the scene as that can result in destroyed evidence.

2. Secure the Crime Area & Limit Access

You need to close doors and windows and ensure no one adults, children and pets) can enter the scene. This is important because it protects them from getting contaminated and further spreading the pathogens and bacteria to others. Do not clean or remove anything, just leave it as is and block entrance to the scene.

3. Call 911 and Biohazard Removal Professionals Immediately

Call the law enforcement and report what you just witnessed. If a body is present, law enforcement will remove it, but their job is not to clean the crime scene. You will have to contact a certified biohazard and crime scene cleanup company like Americon Restoration. We have OSHA-trained crews to clean the area, eliminate bloodborne pathogens, and remove forensic hazards safely.

4. Take Photos and Videos

You might need to file your homeowners or landlord coverage claim to take care of the crime scene cleanup. Make sure to take timestamped photos and videos of the area but from a safe distance to ensure you do not touch anything or get exposed to potential pathogens and contaminants. Write detailed notes for every picture describing the scene and situation to make your case stronger with the insurer.

5. Avoid Cross-Contamination

Once you come back from the crime scene area, avoid eating, drinking, or touching anything until you take a thorough shower. Avoid using household cleaners (e.g., bleach) on biohazards—improper methods aerosolize pathogens. Crime scenes often contain invisible dangers (needles, sharp metals, airborne pathogens, chemical residues). Non-professionals should not attempt cleanup—even small mistakes can lead to severe health risks. Always wait for certified experts equipped with industrial PPE, hospital-grade disinfectants, and hazardous waste protocols.
