Questions About Crime Scene Cleaning in Helena Valley Northwest, MT
What should I tell my insurance company?

What is it called when you clean up crime scenes?
It goes by several names, including crime scene cleanup, crime scene cleaning, forensic cleaning, forensic clean up, trauma cleanup and biohazard remediation. The people who do it are crime scene cleaners or forensic cleaners.
Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?
Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.
Is a crime scene cleaner worth hiring?
