Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
A victim or a claimant, such as a family member or representative, can apply. The crime must be reported to law enforcement, and the application is due within three years unless there is good cause. Call (800) 983-9933.
Insurance comes first. The Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program may pay up to $2,250 for crime scene clean-up for crimes after July 14, 2016. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays.
A person who cleans alone can be reimbursed for supplies. Hiring a company may allow the company's service costs to be reimbursed. Either way, keep every receipt. Only the Texas Attorney General can decide a claim.
It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
