Discreet, certified crime scene and biohazard cleanup across Colorado — unmarked vehicles, compassionate technicians, and in most cases $0 out of pocket since we bill your insurance directly.
Most people only face a crime scene or unattended death once in their life, and in Colorado it usually lands on them with no warning. Insurance rules, state and county waste regulations, and coordination with authorities all have to be handled correctly. Here's what that involves.
Insurance Claims and Billing in Colorado: Most Colorado homeowners and renters policies cover sudden, accidental biohazard contamination like blood, bodily fluids, or the aftermath of a death or violent crime. Adjusters still want proof, though: photos, a line-item scope, and a clear record of which materials were contaminated and why they had to go. We put that package together and bill your carrier directly, so in most cases you pay $0 out of pocket. If there's a deductible or an uninsured portion, we'll tell you upfront before any work begins and talk through payment options. One thing to know: when an incident goes unnoticed for days, which happens more often during seasonal temperature swings, the scope tends to grow. That makes careful documentation even more important.
State, County and Federal Biohazard Regulations: In Colorado, biohazard remediation falls under state health and environmental regulations, which sit on top of the federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). That federal rule covers protective equipment, exposure control and how technicians handle infectious material. Regulated medical waste, meaning blood-soaked materials, sharps and tissue, has to be packaged, manifested, transported and disposed of under rules that vary by county. What's acceptable in Denver County may be handled differently in El Paso, Larimer or Weld County. A general cleaning crew or a well-meaning relative can't legally put this material in a dumpster. We track the waste chain for every job and keep records you can hand to an insurer, landlord or attorney.
Working With Law Enforcement, Medical Examiners and Property Managers: Cleanup can't start until the scene is released. In many Colorado jurisdictions, that means the coroner, medical examiner or investigating police department has to sign off first. We confirm the release, coordinate entry, and respect any evidence or investigative needs. With rentals and condos, we also work with landlords, property managers and HOAs on access, shared walls and common areas. That way the unit comes back safe to occupy and ready for whichever contractor handles any rebuild. Our work is strictly decontamination and removal of contaminated materials. Repairs and renovation are a separate trade, and we'll explain where our job ends.
Discretion and Rapid Response Across 14 Cities: Privacy matters everywhere, but it matters most where everybody knows everybody. In a Denver high-rise, a marked biohazard van in the garage starts rumors fast. In Greeley or Longmont, it can be the talk of the street by dinnertime. That's why we use unmarked vehicles and plain-clothed technicians and keep a low profile on every job. We cover Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, so families along the Front Range don't have to wait on a crew coming from out of state.
Every service below is decontamination and safe removal of contaminated materials. We don't do construction or repairs. Each job gets a written scope, claim-ready documentation, and a discreet crew. In most cases we bill your insurance directly, and you'll know exactly what's covered before work starts.
We fully decontaminate homes, apartments and vehicles where someone passed away and wasn't found right away. That includes removing biological material, getting rid of the odor, and disposing of everything regulated properly.
After law enforcement releases a scene, we clean it thoroughly. We remove blood, tissue, fingerprint powder and contaminated belongings from homes, businesses and vehicles.
We quietly and gently clean homes and vehicles after a suicide, so family members never have to deal with the scene themselves.
We clean up blood and bodily fluids after serious injuries, accidents and other traumatic events in homes, workplaces and vehicles.
For smaller incidents like falls, cuts or animal attacks, we remove blood and disinfect what's left behind.
We clean up any biological hazard, whether that's bodily fluids, human or animal waste, or infectious material, in homes, rentals and commercial spaces.
We sort through severe hoarding situations, save valuables, and remove biohazards, refuse and contaminated belongings with dignity and care.
We get rid of the persistent odors left behind by death, decomposition, trauma or waste by finding the source. We don't cover it up.
We collect, package and dispose of sharps, soiled medical supplies and other regulated waste from homes and properties.
No two scenes are the same, but most of the calls we get across Colorado fall into a few categories. Knowing what you're dealing with, and how serious it is, helps you decide how quickly to act and what to ask your insurance company.
An unattended death happens when someone passes away alone and isn't found for days or weeks. As the body breaks down, fluids soak into flooring, subfloor and furniture, and a strong odor sets in. Bacteria and pathogens are also left behind, and household cleaning can't remove them.
After a suicide, there's often blood and bodily fluid spread across several surfaces, sometimes along with tissue. Families shouldn't have to see it, and they definitely shouldn't clean it themselves. Bloodborne pathogens make it a real health hazard on top of the emotional devastation.
Assaults, shootings and homicides can leave blood, tissue and fingerprint powder throughout a home or business. Investigators collect evidence, but cleaning up afterward isn't their job. The property owner is left with a contaminated space.
Severe hoarding often comes with hazards you can't see right away: animal waste, rotting food, used needles, pests, and sometimes human waste. Clearing it out safely takes protective equipment, a sorting plan, and someone who's sensitive to the person whose home it is.
Odor that hangs on after a death, a trauma scene, or a failed DIY cleanup usually means biological material is still in porous materials. Air fresheners and fogging from a general cleaner only cover it up for a while.
Used needles, soiled dressings, home-dialysis supplies and other medical waste are regulated in Colorado. You can't throw them out with household trash, and needlesticks can spread disease.
A fall, a deep cut, a dog bite or a nosebleed that won't stop can leave more blood behind than you'd expect. It soaks into carpet, grout and upholstery, and it can carry bloodborne pathogens even after it dries.
You shouldn't have to figure any of this out by yourself. Here's what happens from your first call until we hand the space back, so nothing catches you off guard.
Same call, usually 10–15 minutes
Usually as soon as the scene is released
Starts at assessment; usually ongoing in the background
Often 1–3 days, depending on scope
Final day of work
Homeowners and renters insurance typically covers crime scene, trauma and unattended death cleanup, but filing the claim yourself in the middle of a crisis is the last thing you need. We bill your insurance carrier directly, provide the photos and line-item documentation adjusters ask for, and handle the back-and-forth. In most cases, that means you pay nothing out of pocket. We can't promise exactly what any one policy will cover. What we can promise is that you'll know about any deductible or uninsured portion before we start, with no surprises afterward.
Our vehicles are unmarked. Our technicians wear plain clothes when they arrive. We don't put signs in your yard or talk about your situation with neighbors. Whether you're in a Denver high-rise where everyone shares an elevator or a smaller community like Greeley or Longmont where word travels fast, we work quietly so your family's privacy stays protected. Property managers appreciate it too, since tenants and neighbors don't need to know what happened in a unit.
We serve Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, Greeley, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. We know how coordination with local law enforcement and medical examiners works across the Front Range, and that county waste rules aren't the same from Denver to El Paso to Larimer. That local knowledge means fewer delays and nothing missed in your documentation.
Crime scene and biohazard cleanup is all we do. We aren't a carpet cleaner, a janitorial company or a restoration contractor adding trauma work as a side line. Our job is decontamination: removing biological material and contaminated items, disinfecting, eliminating odor, and disposing of regulated waste properly. If your property needs repairs afterward, we'll tell you plainly and leave that to the right contractor. We won't upsell you work outside our specialty.
Families making these decisions are often grieving, rushed, and have never priced a service like this before. Some companies take advantage of that. We don't. You get a written scope that explains what we'll remove, why, and what it costs, in language you can understand. If something is small enough that you don't need us, we'll say so. Honest advice is the whole point of the name on our door.
Our work follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) along with Colorado's state health and environmental regulations. Regulated medical waste is packaged, manifested and sent for proper disposal under the rules of the county where the job is. You get records showing the work was done correctly. Those records matter to insurers, landlords, HOAs and estate attorneys.
Grieving families need patience, gentle communication and someone who'll set aside photos and keepsakes. Landlords and property managers need a unit made safe quickly, with clear documentation and minimal disruption to other tenants. We do both. We also work with referrals from victim-services advocates, funeral homes and law enforcement, and we treat every person we meet with dignity.

Most families never see a bill. In most cases homeowners or renters insurance covers this work, and we bill the carrier directly. Still, it helps to know what drives the cost so you can understand your claim and any deductible.
The biggest factor is how far biological material has spread and how deeply it's soaked in. A small blood spill on tile is a short job. When fluids have soaked through carpet, pad and into the subfloor, or spread across several rooms, it takes more labor, more removal of contaminated material, and more waste disposal. That's why an accurate on-site assessment matters more than a phone quote.
With unattended deaths especially, the longer it takes for anyone to find the person, the bigger the scope gets. Fluids migrate, odor sets into porous materials, and pests can show up. Seasonal temperature swings in Colorado affect how quickly an incident gets noticed. A scene found within a day or two usually costs far less to remediate than one found after weeks.
A detached single-family home in Highlands Ranch is usually simpler than a condo or apartment in Denver or Aurora, where contamination or odor may reach shared walls, hallways or neighboring units. Multi-family jobs often involve coordinating with HOAs and property managers, scheduling access, and containing the work more carefully, all of which can add time to the scope.
Blood-soaked materials, sharps and other regulated medical waste have to be packaged, manifested and taken to authorized facilities under county-specific rules. More contaminated material means more containers and higher disposal fees. Hoarding jobs can also add large amounts of non-hazardous refuse that has to be hauled away separately.
Some scenes need extra odor work after decontamination, including enzymatic treatments and professional neutralization, particularly after decomposition. It adds to the scope, but skipping it usually means calling someone back later when the smell returns.
If there's a deductible, an uninsured portion, or a situation insurance typically won't cover (like many hoarding cleanups), we'll go over the exact amount before work starts and offer flexible payment options so cost doesn't stand in the way of getting your home safe.
In most cases, yes. Homeowners and renters policies generally cover sudden, accidental biohazard contamination, including the aftermath of a death, suicide or violent crime. We bill your carrier directly and give your adjuster the photos and itemized scope they need, so most of our customers pay $0 out of pocket. Every policy is different, and we can't guarantee a specific coverage amount. What we will do is check your coverage with you and explain any deductible or uninsured portion before work starts. Victims of crime may also qualify for help through victim-compensation programs.
It depends on the scope. A small blood cleanup might run roughly $800 to $2,500. A suicide or trauma scene typically falls between $3,000 and $8,000. Unattended deaths found after several days often run $5,000 to $15,000 or more, especially in condos where shared spaces are involved. Hoarding cleanouts vary widely. We give you a written scope and price after an on-site assessment, and we offer payment options for deductibles or anything insurance doesn't cover. You'll never be pressured into signing on the spot.
Most residential jobs take one to three days of on-site work. A small blood cleanup can often be done in a few hours. A large unattended death scene or a hoarding cleanout can take longer, especially when we have to coordinate with an HOA or property manager on access to shared areas. We can usually start once the scene has been released and we've completed the assessment. Insurance paperwork happens in the background and doesn't hold up the decontamination work.
Yes. In many Colorado jurisdictions, cleanup can't start until law enforcement, the coroner or the medical examiner has finished and released the property. We'll confirm the release status with you and, when it's appropriate, with the investigating agency. We'll also respect any ongoing evidence needs. If you aren't sure whether a scene has been released, call us anyway. We'll help you figure out who to contact and get everything ready so we can start as soon as it's cleared.
Biohazard remediation in Colorado falls under state health and environmental regulations, which sit on top of the federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). Regulated medical waste, like blood-soaked materials and sharps, also has to follow county-level rules for transport, manifesting and disposal, and those rules differ across the state. That's why household trash or a dumpster isn't an option. We handle the full disposal chain and give you records showing it was done correctly.
Not from us. Our technicians arrive in unmarked vehicles and plain clothes. We don't put up signs, and we keep our equipment and waste containers as out of sight as we can. In condo and apartment buildings, we work with property managers to use service entrances or quieter times when possible. Privacy concerns are often even bigger in smaller communities, and we take them seriously everywhere we work, from downtown Denver to Longmont and Greeley.
We strongly advise against it. Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, and they soak into carpet, pad and other porous materials far deeper than you can see. Regular cleaners usually don't have the protective equipment, training or authorization to dispose of regulated waste. DIY attempts often leave odor behind and can complicate an insurance claim. For a very minor incident, we'll honestly tell you if you don't need us.
Call as soon as the scene is released. Waiting lets contamination and odor spread, which raises costs and makes the job harder. To lower the chance of a long-undiscovered death, set up regular check-ins with relatives who live alone, share a spare key with a trusted neighbor, and ask landlords to do welfare checks when mail piles up or rent goes unpaid. Seasonal temperature swings can delay when anyone notices odor, so regular contact matters year-round.
You shouldn't have to face this alone or worry about the bill. One call gets you a discreet, compassionate team, direct insurance billing, and a clear plan for what happens next.
