Protecting Your Safety and Peace of Mind

Crime scene cleanup is the decontamination and remediation of blood, bodily fluids, and other hazardous materials left behind after a crime. These materials can soak into carpet, furniture, drywall, and subflooring and carry serious health risks. Aftermath provides discreet, compassionate forensic cleaning, so families and property owners do not have to face it alone.

We arrive in unmarked vehicles, keep our work out of view whenever possible, and never discuss your situation with anyone outside your household.

Our Crime Scene Cleanup Process

You can call before the scene is released. We coordinate with local police departments and county sheriff's offices across the state, so work can begin as soon as investigators hand the property back.

We evaluate the scene, gather information, build an action plan, and document everything for your insurance claim.

We remove blood, bodily fluids, and contaminated materials, including carpet, padding, drywall, and furniture when needed, and clean up residue left behind by the investigation.

We disinfect every affected surface with EPA-registered products and use advanced deodorization so no odor remains.

We ATP-test surfaces and walk through the space with you to confirm the work is complete.

We clean crime scenes in houses, apartments, condos, and rental properties, as well as businesses, commercial properties, and vehicles.

Our technicians are GBAC-trained and follow IICRC S540 standards for trauma and crime scene cleanup and OSHA bloodborne pathogen requirements. Aftermath holds a BBB A+ rating and has supported families through difficult moments since 1996.

 

Many homeowners and renters policies cover crime scene cleanup. We provide itemized documentation for your insurance claim and can work with your carrier directly.

Our teams respond throughout California, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Orange County, Oakland, San Jose, Fresno, and the Inland Empire.

What our clients are saying

Christopher and his Assistant Manager Trainee Gabriel took care of my tenants (who was family) apartment swiftly. It was disgusting in there. Will be going back to this company if a situation arises like this in the future. Drive home safe guys and thank you for your hard work.

John I.

From my initial contact with Jeanine to the final walk through with Jason, Tristan, Marquel and Fritz Aftermath services has been tremendously upfront, kind and compassionate after the death of my sister. During such a difficult time I never would have thought that I would walk away with five new friends. I am forever grateful.

Megan M.

FAQ

Our team is available 24/7, 365 days a year. Once you contact us, we assess the situation and coordinate service as quickly as possible.

In many cases, yes. Homeowners and commercial policies often cover biohazard cleanup, and we provide the documentation your carrier needs and may work with them directly so you are not managing the claim alone.

Stay out of the affected area and avoid touching or cleaning anything yourself. Biohazards can carry infectious material, and our team brings the protective equipment needed to handle it safely.

We handle crime scenes, unattended deaths, suicides, hoarding, narcotics contamination, and other biohazard situations in homes, businesses, and vehicles. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, call us and we will tell you.

We use ATP testing to verify that surfaces have been properly disinfected before we hand the space back. You get the results, so nobody has to judge safety by how the room looks.

No. You can call at any point, and we will coordinate with investigators so work begins as soon as the scene is released.

Yes. We arrive in unmarked vehicles, keep our work out of view where possible, and do not discuss your situation with neighbors or anyone outside your household.

Most residential jobs are finished in a single day. Larger scenes, hoarding properties, and severe contamination can take several days, and we give you a time estimate after the on-site assessment.
