How Crime Scene Cleanup Prevents the Spread of Disease
Protecting Public Health After Traumatic Events
In the aftermath of a traumatic event—whether it’s a violent crime, suicide, unattended death, or accident—there’s more left behind than emotional scars. Blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazards present at the scene can pose serious health risks if not properly addressed. That’s where professional crime scene cleanup comes in. At CrimeTech Services, we provide expert biohazard remediation throughout Colorado Springs and surrounding communities, ensuring that affected areas are thoroughly disinfected and safe for occupancy.
Why Biohazard Cleanup Matters
Crime scenes often contain substances that are invisible to the naked eye but dangerous to public health. Blood and bodily fluids can carry pathogens such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, and other bloodborne illnesses. These can remain viable on surfaces for extended periods—days or even weeks—if not properly cleaned and disinfected.
Attempting to clean these materials with household products like bleach or disinfectant sprays is not only ineffective, it can actually spread contaminants or expose others to harm. Proper crime scene cleanup involves specialized tools, chemicals, and protocols designed to neutralize biohazards at a microbial level.
The Role of Professional Crime Scene Cleaners
At CrimeTech Services, we follow rigorous safety protocols set by OSHA, the EPA, and local health departments. Our team is trained in bloodborne pathogen control, personal protective equipment (PPE), and proper disposal of biohazardous waste. We don’t just clean—we decontaminate and restore.
Using hospital-grade disinfectants, ATP surface testing, and equipment like HEPA air scrubbers and UV lights, we ensure the complete elimination of bacteria, viruses, and harmful microorganisms. This not only protects current property owners and tenants, but also helps prevent broader public exposure.
Protecting Families, First Responders & the Community
Many people affected by a traumatic event assume that the police or emergency medical services will handle cleanup—but that’s not the case. Once the authorities have completed their investigation, it’s up to the property owner to manage the cleanup process.
This is where hiring a professional cleanup team like CrimeTech Services is critical. Our work protects not only the individuals involved but also first responders, maintenance workers, future occupants, and the surrounding community. Proper crime scene cleanup reduces the risk of infectious disease transmission, cross-contamination, and lingering environmental hazards.
