How Homicide Cleanup Works in Poletown East, Detroit, MI

1. Wait for release, then assess

Cleanup starts only after investigators release the property. The crew then walks the space and maps where fluids reached.

2. Setup

Crews place barriers and protective sheeting and bring in the supplies they need for containment.

3. Make it safe again

Hard surfaces get a thorough disinfection, and the room is treated for odor so it no longer carries traces of what happened.

4. Afterward

A final inspection and a clear set of records finish the job, so the owner can move forward.
