Work begins once law enforcement or the investigator releases the scene. After that, crews move through containment, removal, disinfection and odor treatment in North Hills, Northclift and the wider Wake County area.
The median home in Raleigh dates to 1997. Newer homes usually have drywall, laminate and engineered flooring, but fluids still reach the padding and subfloor. Older adults make up about 12% of residents in Raleigh, below the North Carolina average, so calls come from a broad mix of situations, including accidents, crime scenes and rental turnovers.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
The finish matters as much as the cleanup. After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers run, odor equipment works on the room, and the crew checks every surface, with ATP testing available to confirm the result.
