Crime Scene Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Athens-Clarke County unified government (balance), GA
How long does it take to clear a crime scene?
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?
Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.
Will the neighbors know?
Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.
Do crime scene cleaners remove tear gas and fingerprint powder?
Yes. Fingerprint powder and tear gas residue are common after police work. Both need careful methods, because wiping or washing them can spread residue. Crews test the area and clean it with matched products.
What does crime scene cleaning include?
It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked porous materials, disinfection, handling of broken glass and debris, residue removal and odor control. Crews also sort personal property and document the work for insurers.
Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.
