Crime Scene & Biohazard Cleanup When ordinary cleaning isn't enough, we'll help you understand the next step.

From an unattended death to blood or other biological contamination, the condition of the property determines the cleanup required. Contact A1 to discuss the affected area, what may need attention, and how to arrange an assessment.

We take inquiries for properties across Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Availability is confirmed by location and type of work.

Why the assessment matters

The visible mess may not show the full extent of contamination.

When blood, bodily fluids or decomposition-related contamination reaches absorbent materials, wiping the surface may not address the source. The condition of the underlying materials matters, especially when odors remain or fluids have moved beneath a visible surface.

That's why the right starting point is understanding what happened, which areas were affected, and what materials may need closer evaluation—not quoting a generic price before the scope is known.

Hard and nonporous surfaces

Some surfaces may be candidates for appropriate cleaning and disinfection, depending on their condition.

Porous and absorbent materials

Carpet, furnishings, flooring and subflooring may need different treatment when contamination has penetrated them.

Odors and concealed areas

The source may need to be identified before an odor problem can be responsibly addressed.

What happens when you contact us

From the first conversation to a cleanup plan.

Our first job is to understand the request well enough to discuss an appropriate next step. You should know what information is needed before committing to a project.

STEP 01

Tell us about the property.

Share the location, situation and whether access is authorized. A brief description is enough to begin.

STEP 02

Clarify the affected area.

Discuss materials, visible conditions, possible hidden contamination and any information needed for an estimate.

STEP 03

Review scope and next steps.

Confirm whether the job can be served, what further assessment may be needed, and how scheduling would work.

If law enforcement or another authority is involved, cleanup arrangements should wait until the area has been released and access is authorized.

Who we're here to help

Different responsibilities. One clear starting point.

You may be handling a family loss or managing a property you don't live in. The questions are different, but both situations begin with the scene and the next decision.

Families and authorized representatives

You may need to know who can authorize cleanup, whether the property is ready to enter, and how to avoid taking on a difficult job yourself. Start with the location and the general circumstances.

Owners and property professionals

You may be responsible for a rental, estate property or managed building. Start with access, affected spaces, any deadlines, and what information is available about the condition of the property.

Estimates and insurance

A useful estimate begins with the actual scope of work.

Two cleanup jobs with the same name can require very different work. Rather than promise a price that may change, we start by identifying what information is needed to evaluate your situation.

What may affect the estimate?

  • The size and number of affected areas
  • Types of surfaces and materials involved
  • Whether affected contents or structural materials need attention
  • Property access and scheduling requirements

Insurance coverage depends on the policy and incident. Your insurer determines what it will reimburse.

Questions we can help clarify

Know what to expect before you call.

These are common starting questions. The details of your property and situation determine what is appropriate.

Who cleans a crime scene after police leave?

After investigators release a scene, cleanup is generally arranged by the property owner or another authorized party. Law enforcement's role is different from the cleanup work needed afterward.

Why might an unattended death require specialized cleanup?

Decomposition-related fluids and odors can affect absorbent materials, flooring, furnishings and nearby areas. The visible condition alone may not establish the full extent of the problem.

Can you tell me the price before visiting?

A preliminary discussion can identify what information is needed, but a reliable scope depends on the affected areas, materials and conditions. Contact A1 with the property location and a brief description.

Will insurance cover crime scene or death cleanup?

Some policies may provide coverage, but it varies by insurer, contract and event. Review your policy or speak with your insurer; reimbursement should not be assumed.

Do I need to be at the property to begin?

The first conversation can begin remotely. Whether someone must be present later depends on authorization, site access and the requirements of the particular job.

Which areas do you serve?

A1 accepts cleanup inquiries for Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. Share the city or ZIP code so service availability can be confirmed for that location.

Take the next step

Tell us about the property. We'll discuss what comes next.

Start with the city, the type of incident and what you know about the affected area. You don't need a complete scope of work before contacting us.
