Whether you are facing a violent incident, an unattended death, a serious accident, or a sewage backup, our team is prepared to respond with a tailored plan. We provide discreet crime scene cleanup Delaware County residents and business owners can rely on during very difficult times.

We work in a wide range of environments, including private homes, apartments, rental units, offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties. Our technicians assess both visible and potential hidden contamination so that affected areas are not overlooked. This careful approach supports long-term safety and helps reduce the chance of lingering odors or recurring issues.

We follow industry-accepted practices for cleaning, disinfection, and handling of hazardous materials. This includes appropriate use of personal protective equipment, controlled removal of affected contents when necessary, and coordination of proper disposal through approved channels. Our team works methodically, section by section, to address surfaces and contents that may have been exposed.

Our services for biohazard and crime scene situations typically include:

• Assessment of affected areas and development of a cleanup plan
• Protection of surrounding spaces to limit the spread of contamination
• Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces impacted by blood or bodily fluids
• Handling and removal of non-salvageable materials that cannot be safely restored
• Odor control measures related to biohazard events or sewage incidents
• Guidance on next steps once the cleaning process is complete

Every situation is different, and we adapt our approach to the specific conditions at your property. Throughout the process, we work to balance thorough technical cleaning with the sensitivity that crime scenes and traumatic events require.

Our Biohazard Cleanup Process

When you reach out to our team, you should not have to guess what will happen next. We want you to understand how we approach each stage of work so you can make informed decisions. Our process for biohazard cleanup Delaware County clients follows a structured path from the first call to final checks.

The process typically begins with an initial phone conversation. We listen to your description of what has happened, ask focused questions to understand the type of contamination present, and discuss immediate safety precautions. When appropriate, we may advise you to contact emergency services or other authorities before we arrive. From there, we schedule a response based on the urgency and accessibility of the site.

Once on site, our technicians conduct a careful assessment of the affected areas. We identify where contamination is visible and where it may have spread to adjoining spaces. We then establish safety zones, use protective coverings as needed, and select appropriate cleaning agents and tools. Before work begins, we explain our plan so you know which areas will be addressed and in what order.

The active cleaning phase involves a series of coordinated steps. Our team removes debris or non-salvageable materials that cannot be safely cleaned, then works through detailed cleaning and disinfection of remaining surfaces. We use methods selected for the type of material and level of contamination, always with the aim of protecting occupants and reducing exposure risks.

Throughout the process, we communicate with you about progress and any findings that may affect the scope of work. When the cleaning is complete, we perform a final review of the treated areas. We walk you through what has been done, answer your questions, and discuss any recommendations for follow-up. Our goal is for you to feel informed and supported from the first contact until we leave the property.

What To Do After An Incident

In the moments after a traumatic event or hazardous spill, it can be difficult to know what to do first. You may feel pulled between concern for people involved, the condition of your property, and the need to keep others safe. Taking a few careful steps can help protect everyone until our team arrives.

Whenever there is an active emergency, your first call should be to the appropriate authorities. Law enforcement, medical responders, or fire services can address immediate danger and help ensure that the scene is secure. Once they have completed their work or given clearance, it is important not to begin deep cleaning on your own, especially when blood, bodily fluids, or sewage are involved.

Helpful steps you can take before professional cleanup begins include:

• Keeping family members, employees, and visitors away from the affected area
• Avoiding contact with visible contaminants, even if you use household gloves
• Not discarding items from the scene unless instructed by authorities
• Closing doors or placing simple barriers to limit access to the space
• Contacting our team to describe the situation and receive guidance by phone

Attempting to clean a trauma or biohazard scene without proper equipment and training can increase health risks and may disturb areas that need to remain undisturbed for official reasons. When you call ServiceMaster by Burch, we help you understand what to do, what to avoid, and how we will move forward once we arrive.
