Trauma Scene Cleanup in Henderson, NV
After a death or a serious injury at home, trauma scene cleanup means removing what was affected and disinfecting the room before it gets put back together. Your family shouldn't have to do this. Call us once the home has been released and we'll take it from there.
We work quietly in Henderson and across the Las Vegas Valley. You can ask for an unmarked vehicle, keep the conversation short, and set the schedule around services, travel and whatever else your family is dealing with this week.

What families usually ask us
You don't need to know how any of this works. These are the questions that come up most on the first call.
Do we have to clean this ourselves?
No, and please don't. Family members often feel they should, out of respect or because they don't know who else to call. It isn't safe without protection, and nobody should have to see it up close. Let us do it.
When can you come?
Once the police, the coroner or the medical examiner have released the home. If you aren't sure whether it's been released, ask the investigator on your case before we start. After that, we set a time that works for you.
Do we need to be there?
Not for the work itself. Many families meet us at the door, walk us through anything they want kept, and leave. Others stay nearby. Either is fine. We'll call you before we throw away anything you might want.
Will people know what happened here?
Not from us. Ask for an unmarked vehicle and we'll send one when we can. The crew keeps quiet about the job in front of neighbors and doesn't post photos anywhere.
What about personal belongings in that room?
Anything with meaning, like photos, papers, jewelry or a keepsake, gets set aside before removal starts. If it can be cleaned, we clean it. If it can't be saved, we'll tell you plainly. We won't dispose of personal items without asking first.
Will the room ever feel normal again?
Physically, yes. Once the affected materials are out and the room has been disinfected and rebuilt, it looks like any other room in the house. How it feels takes longer. That's yours to work through at your own pace.
How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?
Biohazard work is priced on site. The size of the affected area, what soaked into porous materials, and how much has to be removed and disposed of set the number.
On a trauma scene, the price mostly depends on how far things reached and how long it was before anyone found it. A spot on tile is a short job. When fluids reached carpet pad, subfloor or the bottom of a wall, more has to come out. Removal and disposal are where the cost comes from.

Insurance or self-pay, you decide

If the home is a rental or part of an estate, the landlord or the estate may be the one who files. We can send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What happens during a trauma cleanup
- 1
A quiet first call
We ask a few practical questions: where the home is, which rooms were affected, and whether it's been released. You don't have to describe what happened in detail.
- 2
Set aside what matters
Before any removal, we go through the space for personal items, documents and valuables and set them aside for you.
- 3
Remove affected materials
The room gets closed off with plastic first. Then anything porous that was affected, such as flooring, a mattress, upholstered furniture or sections of drywall, is removed, sealed and taken away for disposal as biohazard waste.
- 4
Clean and disinfect
The surfaces that stay get cleaned first and then disinfected with an EPA-registered product, left on as long as the label says. We check the places people miss, like under trim and inside floor vents.
- 5
Odor and final check
Once the source is gone, we treat any lingering odor. We walk through the finished room ourselves before we ask you to see it.
- 6
Put the room back
If drywall, flooring or baseboards came out, the same crew rebuilds them. That keeps the number of strangers in your home as small as we can.
Some things can be cleaned. Some things have to go.
Fluids travel farther than you can see. They run under baseboards, soak through carpet into the pad and sometimes into the subfloor or the bottom of the drywall. Those materials get cut out past the affected area, because cleaning the surface leaves the rest behind.
Hard, sealed surfaces are different. Tile, sealed countertops, metal and glass can be cleaned and disinfected. We'll walk you through what's leaving before it goes, so nothing disappears without you knowing.

Trauma scene cleanup questions
What is trauma scene cleanup?
It's the cleanup of a home or building after a death, a suicide, a violent event or a serious injury where blood or other fluids were left behind. It covers removing what can't be saved, disinfecting what can, and making the space safe to use again.
How much does trauma scene cleanup cost?
We price it after we see the space, and there's no charge for the estimate. The cost depends on how far things spread and how much has to be removed, such as carpet and subfloor or sections of wall. You'll know the price before we begin.
Does homeowners insurance cover trauma scene cleanup?
Some homeowner policies cover this kind of cleanup and some don't, and the details vary. Your carrier decides. We can give you photos, a written scope and an itemized estimate to send to them.
Who cleans up after a death at home in Las Vegas?
Police and the coroner don't clean. That falls to the family or the property owner, which is why companies like ours exist. You can call us once the home has been released.
What if the death wasn't discovered for a while?
It happens, and it usually means more gets removed, often flooring and subfloor. The odor can travel through the house, so we check the rooms next to it too. Please don't try to cover the smell with sprays or candles before we get there.
