Before you do anything
What Happens After the Police Leave in San Antonio
The police will not clean the scene. Here is who is responsible, and when the work can actually begin.
Law enforcement controls the scene. Cleanup can only begin after SAPD or the Bexar County Sheriff officially releases it, which may take hours or days. We will stand by and arrive within hours of clearance, so you are never waiting alone.
Scene release explained
Police release the property to the owner or next of kin in writing. You do not need to ask SAPD to clean. You need to wait until they release the scene. We can be on standby from the moment you call.
The Medical Examiner does not clean
The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office explicitly states it does not provide cleanup services. Once they are done, responsibility falls to the property owner, not the city.
Do not enter before we arrive
Even after release, the area may contain invisible biohazards such as bloodborne pathogens and tissue fragments. Our crew performs an initial assessment in full PPE before any area is entered by family members.
Full transparency
Our 5-Step Crime Scene Cleanup Process
You should know exactly what we will do inside your property. Here is every stage, start to finish.
1
Initial Assessment
Certified technicians arrive in PPE, assess the full scope of contamination, and contain the affected area. You will be kept informed at every stage.
2
Biohazard Removal
All contaminated materials, including blood, tissue, soft furnishings, flooring, and drywall where necessary, are removed and double-bagged per EPA and DOT regulations.
3
Hospital-Grade Cleaning
EPA-registered germicides are applied to all surfaces. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) testing detects contamination invisible to the naked eye.
4
Odor Elimination
Ozone treatment or thermal fogging removes biological odors at the molecular level, not just at the surface.
5
Final Clearance & Documentation
The scene is certified biohazard-free. We provide full documentation for insurance claims and legal records.
Most contained residential scenes are completed in 4 to 8 hours. Complex scenes may require 1 to 3 days. We will give you a realistic timeframe during your free assessment.
Privacy first

What Does Crime Scene Cleanup Cost in San Antonio?

TEXAS CRIME VICTIMS' COMPENSATION (CVC)
The Texas Attorney General's office reimburses up to $2,250 for qualifying crime scene cleanup costs, for crimes that occurred after July 14, 2016. This is real money back in your pocket. We can help you understand whether your situation qualifies and assist with the paperwork.
Most standard homeowners and renters policies in Texas cover crime scene cleanup under dwelling or other-structures coverage. Homicide, suicide, accidental death, and unattended death are typically covered. We document the scene and bill your insurer directly, so you should not have to chase a claim on one of the worst days of your life.
Every technician is trained to handle blood and bodily fluids without spreading contamination further. They carry the right PPE, follow exposure control plans, and are vaccinated against hepatitis B. This is the standard that separates a professional crew from an unqualified cleaner.
EPA-Registered Disinfectants
We use only disinfectants on the EPA's approved list, proven effective against bloodborne pathogens, MRSA, and other serious biological agents. Your home is genuinely safe after we leave, not just visually clean.
