Death Odor Cleanup / Cleaning up after Death in Norfolk, Williamsburg, Franklin, VA

When the heat of summer finds it's way thru July and August blood cleaners get calls for unattended deaths. These Cleanups can be very labor intensive; however nothing can prepare you for the odor you will encounter from a death that has gone unnoticed for a long period of time. Looking at the area from a distance tells you very little about the amount of contamination to the surrounding structure. Body fluids and blood race to the lowest areas on the floor spreading bio-hazards throughout carpet, pad, wood and sometimes into the crawl space. Inexperienced blood cleaners just clean the top of surfaces leaving dangerous disease pathogens to multiply and to continue to off gas bad odors. If you are not sure if fluids have moved into the wood floor it is best to pull it up. When Aftercare technicians clean these type of situations it is like cleaning two scenes in one. Our workers clean the room and tear out carpet and pad this is one scene. Then we must cleanup and prepare to cut up wood floors and decontaminate the house structure. It is like cleaning up one scene and doing another cleanup immediately after in the same area. This is a must as we are trusted to remove all contagious waste and make the area safe for all who will enter after us.

Odor removal in any city Hampton Roads, Virginia (757) 535-4367

Everyday aftercare deals with odor elimination problems. This is a very tough issue in the clean up business. Any company that says it can remove any odor problem 100 percent is not telling the truth. I have smelled every stink in the business and they are always a challenge to get rid of. Our cleaners battle smoke from cigarettes, Sewage spills under homes, Animal fecal smells, Human urine odors and Unattended death smells; however no smell is harder to eliminate than cat urine. To truly destroy odor you must find the source and eliminate it. Even if this is done properly their is still a lot of work to be done. Proper cleaners must be used to sanitize and prep the surface that was contaminated. Oil based paints should always be used in odor problem areas. Enzymes should be used for urine issues. Knowing the pattern that the odor followed in a contaminated area will help you to be successful at removing it. Aftercare technicians are trained to stop and think about any area that holds odor, smell all areas, thoroughly follow contamination path and inspect all connecting areas.
The bottom line is odor removal is very tricky and many types of techniques may have to be implemented . Aftercare removes odors in houses, automobiles, attics, crawl spaces and storage units. Need a free estimate call us today. (757) 535-4367 Service in all cities in Hampton Roads, Virginia

Local Crime Scene Clean Up (757) 535-4367

All good things must come to a end. The crime scene cleanup industry has changed. This once under established niche is now over saturated with companies who have very little experience cleaning up blood.I don't mind a little healthy competition however I see greed more than professionalism. I have been cleaning up crime scenes in the Hampton roads , Virginia area for over 15 years and have seen unbelievable things. Aftercare only cleans within a 2 hour arrival time area. This means if I can't arrive to a family within 2 hours we don't serve that city or county. This does not matter to most other companies who advertise in all areas of the united states. How can you offer service for a state if you don't have a location there? Most of the companies that advertise in my area on the Internet operate in other states. This means some of these bio hazard cleaning companies take your call tell you they can clean for you and then start looking for anyone in that area to go and clean for them. This is unprofessional and ineffective. The cost is going to be triple what a local crime scene company would charge. Aftercare has seen first hand that these out of state companies don't care who they send to a families home. Criminals, inexperienced workers, unprofessional staff are the reports that we are getting when Aftercare comes in behind to cleanup what they could not do properly. I received a call from a young lady the other night crying and angry. She asked if I could come out and give her a price on a crime scene at her families home. When I arrived I saw the large area of blood and immediately gave her a price of 1,000 dollars because she explained they had no insurance. She quickly told me we had the job and could we start now. I told her yes but as I looked around the scene I noticed used bio-hazard suits laying on the floor and on the couch bloody gloves thrown about. I asked her had she attempted to do the cleanup herself? She told me no they had called another company( who I will not name) I refuse to give them any publicity. They arrived late 3 hours after they were called. The cleaners explained nothing to her and started cleaning. 30 min after they started the homeowner asked how much they were going to charge? The man in charge told her 17,000 dollars. When she told them she could not afford that they threw there contaminated suits on her floor and pitched there bloody gloves on the way out of her home. This is the new face of the blood cleanup industry. Families should not have to experience this type of unprofessional and unethical business practice. Please look for local phone numbers when choosing a crime scene cleanup company. Call a local funeral home and ask for a reputable cleanup business. Check the Internet for complaints. This industry is full of get rich quick operators who don't care about families. Don't let them take advantage of a bad situation this just adds more grief to you and your family. Aftercare cleans up any type of blood related waste in all of eastern Virginia give us a call and we will help you in any way we possible can. (757) 535-4367

Basement sewage cleanup and disinfection Norfolk, Virginia

Aftercare just completed clean up of a basement flooded with raw sewage. The house was a rental and the heat was not working. When the heating and air company came out to do repair the tech walked down to find the basement flooded with 3 inches of raw sewage. They could not get to the system do to the sewage contamination. This is where we came in. Aftercare used three technicians to clean out the free standing sewage. We started with proper safety equipment Tykem F suits are a must in bad sewage Cleanups. These suits are expensive but worth every penny once you get sewage all over you. Heavy duty boots and gloves are a must to protect workers from sickness. Aftercare uses full face respirators to protect the eyes and lungs. A lot of homeowners don't understand why sewage cleanup is so expensive, safety equipment is a big part of the expense. Full face respirators cost about 135.00 per mask. Some of the suits are workers wear can run between 12.00 to 45.00 a suit. Disposal fees can add up to a large amount. Once or workers were protected we went to work. Shoveling thick raw sewage into 3mil bags can be a nasty job. Within 15min you will be covered in sewage. Removal of all trash and any items contaminated with sewage may require a dumpster. Once all solids are gone aftercare uses vacuums to suck up all liquid sewage water. With a water hose we start washing down all exposed areas. A 3 step bio-wash down is important to eliminate germs and disease. Drying the exposed area with fans and dehumidifiers keeps mold and fungus from growing. The final step aftercare does is a post treatment of micro ban to kill of any germs that remain. Aftercare can clean up your basement if you have contamination problem. Animal waste, Raw sewage, water or urine we have done it all. Free estimate in any HAMPTON ROADS city. (757) 535-4367
