How to Clean up Trauma Scenes – Crime Scene Clean Up

Crime Scene Clean up

January 6th, 2012

In the event of a death or suicide, the authorities will remove the body of the victim, but the remediation of the physical scene itself is actually left up to family members or property owners. So do you know what to do if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation?

Crime scene clean up is quite different from any other restoration job. It requires the right mental capacity to emotionally detach one’s self from the situation and a pretty strong stomach. Trauma scenes, accidental deaths, homicides, suicides, and the like can be quite disturbing.

In addition to that, crime scene clean up also requires certain skills and restoration knowledge similar to other remediation efforts. These skills include:

  • A working knowledge of sterilization and disinfecting techniques
  • Familiarity with state and local government guidelines and regulations
  • Restoration of carpets, walls, and furniture
  • Clean up of biological hazards

While the federal government does not regulate trauma scene clean up on a national level, state and local governments often have their own set of guidelines and requirements for these type of situations involving bodily fluids, and the storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials.

Because of all of this, we recommend using a licensed and trained professional, like ServiceMaster of Baltimore, for all of your crime scene clean up needs. As part of our 24 Hour Response Commercial Services, ServiceMaster specializes in clean up as a result of homicides, suicides, natural deaths, and any incidents involving bodily fluids.

How to Clean Up Crime Scenes

 

Professional Water Damage Restoration Services

January 3rd, 2012

Water damage restoration does not only take a lot of time and effort, but it also requires a large amount of knowledge and specialty equipment. This is why a do-it-yourself water damage restoration is not only a bad idea, but it could actually be detrimental to both you and your home.

Do you know how to tell the difference between Categories 1,2, and 3 water? Only a professional water restoration contractor has the experience and knowledge to accurately decipher one category of water from another.

While Category 1 is fairly clean, coming from sources like broken pipes or an overflowing sink, Category 3 water, which comes from sources such as backed up toilets, broken sewer pipes, or flood water, contains bacteria and fungi that can be harmful to your health. Even clean water, if left to sit for a period of time, will begin to breed bacteria and mold. So it is important to call a water removal company as soon as possible to begin the restoration process.

If you act quickly, you may be able to not only avoid the mold remediation process all together, but you may also be able to save your carpets, rug padding, furniture, and other belongings.

So if you become the unfortunate victim of water damage, call a professional water damage restoration company, like ServiceMaster Clean of Baltimore.

Water Damage Assessment

December 22nd, 2011

A home flood is a devastating and stressful experience for any homeowner, but the restoration process doesn’t have to be. This is as long as you call a qualified water damage restoration expert, like ServiceMaster of Baltimore. They will handle everything and ensure that your home is restored to its former glory.

First, a water damage assessment must be conducted to determine what can and cannot be saved. This should only be done by a trained technician as soon as possible.

Water Damage Assessment Process
1. The damage assessor will first examine the exterior of your home, checking for any visible signs of water damage around your roof, gutters, walls, windows, and siding. The assessor will then note any structural water damage in the inspector’s report.

2. Now it is time to move inside. The interior will be examined from the attic all the way down to the basement. The assessor will note any structural problems or damage caused by water.

3. Then the assessor will move onto personal property to determine the extent of the water damage. It is recommended that you compile a list of all of your damage property as well as take pictures to support your claims.

This entire process will not only help your water damage remediator form a plan of action, but it will also help your insurance adjuster when you file your claim.

If you have any questions or wish to schedule a water damage assessment, please contact ServiceMaster Clean of Baltimore by calling 866-780-1700 or click here today!

Fire and Water Restoration Services:Summary of Services by a Professional Restoration Company

December 16th, 2011

Fire and water damage can happen suddenly for any number of reasons, from a small grease fire or a backed up toilet, to a home fire or flooding. If you find yourself the unfortunate victim of a fire or flood, call a professional restoration company as soon as possible. An experienced fire and water damage restoration expert will be able to not only clean up the mess left by a fire or flood, but he/she will also be able to restore your home to its former glory.

Here is a summary of the professional services you can expect from a fire restoration contractor:

Smoke and Soot Removal: Unless it’s professionally removed, smoke from a fire can linger for a very, very long time. A professional restoration company will also use a deodorizer to remove the powerful odor left by smoke and soot.

Structural Inspections: While it may look hopeless, you may be surprised to learn that a large portion of your building structure can be restored. This will save you lots of money compared to expensive demolition and re-building.

Damage to the Floor: The floor is often the first area to be damaged in a fire. A fire damage restoration contractor will be able to assess the situation and let you know if your floor is salvageable.
Here is a summary of the professional services you can expect from a water restoration contractor:

Removing Moisture: A professional water damage restoration expert will utilize several specialty machines – dehumidifiers, blowers, truck mounted and portable water extraction units, moisture meters, and hygrometers – to remove any standing water as well as any lingering moisture. Even a little residual water can lead to a lot of mildew or mold growth and structural damage/weakness.

Inspection: A water restoration company will be able to examine your home and tell you what materials are restorable and what will need to be replaced.

So if you find yourself wondering what to do after a home fire or flooding, call a professional restoration company with a proven track record of quality work and exceptional customer service, a company like ServiceMaster Clean of Baltimore!
