Hopefully, trauma sites are not something that you are personally used to experiencing. Depending on the event and space, they might be chaotic, terrifying, confusing, and disorienting. Handling the aftermath of any traumatic scene is daunting, and it's rarely anyone's first or favorite thought. Managing the cleanup of trauma sites can be a heavy responsibility, and even bringing in the proper professionals can be nerve-wracking. If you have no previous experience as a reference, how do you know what to expect?

Professionalism in Experience

When you contact a trauma cleanup service, their estimators and project managers will likely take you through the full process. Most will come in to view the site as soon as possible so they can give you the most accurate breakdown of the full cleanup project. Once they've viewed the site, they'll be able to provide you with accurate quotations and pricing for the scope of work. Worrying about money will likely be one of the last things you want to be doing, so hopefully the quotation and description will set your mind at ease.

The other reason for the on-site assessment is that trauma cleanups take much more than just your regular household cleaning products, so it's important for the cleanup crews to bring all the necessary tools and PPE for the project. Depending on the type of site and trauma being cleaned, different tools or biohazard disposal methods may be required. It's best to make sure everything is on hand for when it's needed.

Discretion and Non-Disclosures

Whether the space being cleaned is your home or any other property you are responsible for, your neighbors are likely wondering what the police and other first responders were doing there. Especially if law enforcement is involved, it may be very important to not have rumors or any information make its way into the media (professional news agencies or social media posts) until their investigations are complete. You can trust in the experience of professional trauma cleanup specialists to not give any statements or information to media and bystanders, as well as to provide and necessary covers to the trauma site for both legal reasons and any victim's privacy.

Clear Communication

You're going through enough right now, but it's important to make sure your questions get answered. You can depend on the crew and project managers of trauma cleanup specialists to keep you updated on the job's progress. Their cleanup may necessitate that the space be vacated by any other family members, staff, law enforcement, or others in order to complete their work, and you need to know when you will be able to access your space again. Your trauma cleanup services contractor will be able to provide timelines along with their updates so that you can plan your next steps.

Trauma cleanup services typically cover anything from hoarder sites to former meth labs. They have the training and expertise to take those spaces and return them to normal function and cleanliness. Trust them to help restore some order to an otherwise chaotic and difficult situation.
