Bio Scene Clean Up offers death and body decomposition (unattended death) cleaning in Tampa, Florida and surrounding cities. Bio Scene Technicians are experienced in removal, sanitizing, decontamination and deodorizing sites where deaths have occurred.
Cleaning death scenes can be a difficult task but our technicians maintain the certifications and professional equipment necessary to perform death scene cleanup services in Florida. Death sites that require professional biohazard cleanup are common in Florida, many of which are also unattended death scenes or sites where a death had been undiscovered for several days or weeks.
When a person dies and the heart stops pumping, the cells in the body begin to die from lack of oxygen and the decaying process immediately begins. Death leads to rapid changes in the appearance of a body and the body can become unrecognizable in a very short time if not discovered. After death the body will also release toxins and bacteria that create horrific odors and become airborne pathogens that are harmful to anyone coming into contact with them. These pathogens and bacteria are easily spread and are in most cases not visible to the human eye or an untrained person. Improper cleanup practices can create potential health hazards in death scenes for weeks to even months after the death has occurred.
Because the risks of biohazard contamination are so high and the emotional trauma can be damaging to friends or family members of the deceased you should never attempt death scene cleanup on your own. Hire a professional company like Bio Scene Clean Up. Our team can remediate the areas directly affected by the death scene with our certified biohazard cleaning techniques. Our death scene cleanup services ensure that any health risks associated with blood or biohazards are eliminated. We guarantee all services.

Suicide Cleanup and the Holidays
Holidays are supposed to be a time of great joy and celebration. For many of us they are, but for many people they are anything but joyous. Persons who suffer from depression and mental illness have extreme highs and lows around the holidays. Suicide because of stress and anxiety is something that we don’t want to think of during this time, but we need to learn what to look for and how to help these patients cope.
Bio Scene Clean Up provides Suicide and Death Clean Up services to victims of crime, trauma and tragedy. We understand the stress and bombardments that media places on people during this time of the year. Seeing families and friends gather with smiling faces can be detrimental to someone suffering from severe depression. We work directly with family members and property owners who are faced with the responsibility of these types of traumatic events that require biohazard clean up. We maintain decades of experience in compassionate, discreet and professional services for these situations.
While it’s true suicides tend to drop off right before and during the holidays, there is a 40 percent increase immediately following the holidays. Every year at this time we try to remind our readers about suicide and the devastating effects it can have on those left behind. Sadly, we still receive calls for emergency response suicide and death cleanup.
If you or someone you know is faced with the aftermath of a suicide or death contact us for assistance. We offer emergency response and are available to help if needed. For more information regarding suicide and what you can do to help, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or visit them online at www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org

TV news reporter, cameraman are fatally shot during live broadcast
This is a headline that no one should ever have to see, especially the victim’s family members. This headline has made national news recently and is exactly what happened to TV Reporter Alison Parker and her cameraman Adam Ward form WDBJ7 in Roanoke, Virginia.
Bio Scene Clean Up provides cleanup of biohazards from scenes such violent gun crimes, murders, suicides and other traumatic events. During the course of the investigation, it has been suggested that the victim’s attacker suffered from some form of mental illness. Although the exact reason why this tragedy occurred is not known, we can confirm that may homicide, violent death or suicide cleanup jobs we perform have some link to a mental illness, the medications associated with mental illness or both.
Because of increasing cases of guns associated with violent crimes, many Americans have stepped forward to change the way our country handles laws concerning the purchase and ownership of firearms. Bio Scene Clean Up has responded to hundreds of calls from distraught family members who are faced with the responsibility of cleaning these types of biohazard scenes. Death from guns or any means have a high potential for the transmission of disease and other health compromises to untrained people who are involved in an active crime scene that requires cleanup.
It is never suggested that anyone without proper training and equipment attempt to clean a crime scene or death scene on their own. Trust a certified biohazard remediation company like Bio Scene Clean Up to perform a safe, professional and proper cleanup.
Every State regulates the cleanup, removal and disposal of biohazard waste and enforce strict penalties to anyone involved in an improper cleanup. Biohazards from the human body can remain in a dangerous state for weeks to sometimes months after a traumatic event occurs. If you are faced with the responsibility of remediation of a trauma, crime, death or suicide scene contact our office immediately for assistance. We provide 24/7 emergency response to assist victims of crime and tragedy.

Dangers associated with Violent Crime Cleanup inside a structure
Any tissue or bodily fluid is classified as a biohazard per Federal regulations. Whenever a violent crime occurs within a building, or when a body begins to decompose within its interior, the surrounding building materials become contaminated with a variety of toxic agents. For example, blood stains on the carpet typically soak through the carpet and seep into the flooring beneath. Effective environmental cleaning not only removes the biohazard from the carpet, but also from its supporting under structure. Bio Scene Clean Up is experienced in following all biohazard remediation protocols. We are trained to completely remediate any biohazards associated with the cleanup and remediation of Crime Scenes.
Special equipment, such as protective gear, must be worn by out trained technicians in order to protect them from the hazardous materials they are handling. Diseases such as the Flu, including Type A and H1N1, HIV/AIDS, Type A and B Hepatitis, TB, Cholera, and Salmonella are all diseases that can be transmitted from bodily fluids. These fluids escape into the environment any time a body decomposes, whether a person commits suicide, is murdered, or suffers some type of tragic, accidental death.
Because of these dangers, Bio Scene Clean Up suggests that untrained individuals never attempt to cleanup a crime scene that involves biohazards. If you attempt to clean a biohazard scene and it’s not done properly, you may be held liable for procedures that weren’t followed and any health compromises caused to others as a result. The unknown potential dangers alone are enough to not attempt to do this on your own.
If you find yourself faced with the responsibility of cleanup from death, trauma or a violent crime, trust the professionals at Bio Scene Clean Up to perform these services. We maintain all proper training, permits and have the equipment necessary to completely restore a biohazard scene to a safe environment. Contact us today for more information on how we can protect you.

Choosing the best Biohazard Cleanup Company
When choosing a biohazard cleanup company it’s imperative that you seek companies that are compliant with OSHA, EPA and State Environmental Agencies. Reputable companies like Bio Scene Clean Up maintain all certifications necessary for the cleanup, removal and disposal of biohazard materials from Death, Crime, Suicide and other Traumatic Events.
OSHA compliance simply means that the biohazard cleanup company adheres to the regulations in place to prevent injury and potential liability to all involved. Bio Scene Clean Up technicians are trained to handle cleanup of bloodborne pathogens and other potentially harmful biohazards. We use personal protective equipment and follow these regulations during a cleanup process.
Anytime there is the need for handling and disposal of biohazard, medial and bloodborne pathogen waste, there are certain Federal and State regulations that must be followed. Not all biohazard cleanup companies are licensed to transport or handle these wastes so it’s essential that you understand if the company you choose is able to comply with these regulations. Cleanup companies, as well as property owners can incur hefty fines for improper cleanup, handling and disposal of biohazard wastes.
In any form of biohazard cleanup, the company you choose must be trained in the proper use of equipment and cleaning agents that will help remediate a scene to a safe environment free of any biohazards. Even simple errors like improper dilution of cleaning agents can cause certain biohazards to remain active for days to even weeks after an incident occurs.
If you experience a death, violent crime, suicide or other traumatic incident that requires bioremediation, make certain the company you choose is able to deliver the proper information about their certifications, permits and other credentials that will prove to you they are capable of effectively performing the cleanup you need. Bio Scene Clean Up readily provides all information necessary to help ensure the property owner that our cleanup services will be performed correctly.

Children and Death from being locked in hot cars
Summertime temperatures in every region of our country have risen over the past several years. With global warming and other environmental elements, the temperatures seem to show a steady increase. Double the hot temperatures and an automobile with windows rolled up and you have a fatal scenario for children and even elderly that are left alone in hot cars. If an average outside temperature is 90 degrees in a closed car it can reach in excess of 110 degrees in as little as 30 minutes. Children, elderly and even pets left alone in a closed car in this extreme heat are literally dying from heat strokes.
Bio Scene Clean Up provides cleanup services for death, crime, trauma, suicide and many other biohazard incidents. We receive calls frequently for cleanup of automobiles that contain biohazards from blood and other potentially dangerous bodily fluids after someone had been in an accident, committed suicide or expired in a vehicle.
There are currently huge controversies all across our nation regarding parents and caregivers leaving children in locked cars during extreme heat. Not that it’s acceptable to do it at all (most people’s opinion), but there is too much public media and awareness of this for someone to claim they didn’t know. In most cases it is later determined that the parent or caregiver was suffering from emotional disorders, addictions and other problematic scenarios that attributed to the death of these victims.
Bio Scene Clean Up is experienced in cleanup of aftermath from biohazard scenes like this. Our company is certified and licensed for biohazard handling and disposal. Our teams consist of discreet, compassionate professionals who are experienced in dealing with clients during the cleanup of traumatic events and death scenes. Servicing the entire Tampa Bay and Sarasota areas of Florida, we are able to provide emergency dispatch to meet our client’s needs.

Biohazard Cleanup from Suicide
Numerous factors attribute to the cause of suicides and a large majority would say that it can be attributed to the economic meltdown in our country over the past several years. Bio Scene Clean Up provides suicide cleanup services throughout the entire State of Florida. The health and overall fitness of the baby boomer generation has deteriorated greatly and a large number of these statistics indicate that the victims were medically ill, taking depression medication, suffered general health insufficiency, on disability and overwhelmed with credit card and other types of debt. General consensus is that the victim’s life now “Isn’t what they envisioned” it would be at this age. Most of these people were in young adulthood in the 1960’s and 1970’s and that was an era that people were much more in tune with others and people helped other people. Today, it’s a dog eat dog world motivated by money and the quest to “achieve” and the children and long time friends of the baby boomers are no exception.
The increased suicide rates are ordinarily male, elderly and alone with health and financial issues. Because of social isolation and the feeling of being alone and abandoned, these victims take their life as they don’t see an importance in “fighting the fight” to survive in the world any longer.
Bio Scene Clean Up gets frequent calls to provide death clean up services for families of suicide victims. Many of the scenes we’re called to clean are unattended death scenes where no one knew that the victim had been dead for days, and in certain cases weeks to months. We are certified in these types of cleanup jobs in the entire State of Florida.
Contact our office today to learn more about the services that our company provides and our service areas. We perform biohazard clean up services in both commercial and residential settings with immediate technician dispatch 7 days per week. Our main goal is to help victims of tragedies such as these return their properties to a safe, habitable condition so they can move forward without additional trauma from the scene cleanup.

Death Scene Cleanup and Biohazards
Any time someone dies it can be a difficult and emotional time. It’s even harder if the body was unattended at the time of death as it only adds complication and trauma to the situation. If you happen to be the unfortunate one to discover the death, it’s important to know that you need a professional bio-hazard cleaning service.
Unattended death can be a very hazardous situation. Most often times the scene contains urine, feces, blood and other bodily fluids and all are in a state of decomposition. This poses an extreme risk of exposure to infectious diseases and individuals who are not properly trained can be exposed to infectious diseases. Decomposing body fluids can contain germs, active disease and bacteria for a very long time. Even if an untrained cleaner wasn’t exposed to these elements, the EPA and OSHA have strict regulations on the cleaning and disposal of these types of bio-hazardous materials.
It is also common for the scene of an unattended death to have extreme odors that will remain even after removing the body. These odors cannot be extinguished by ordinary household cleaners. These household cleaners will mask the odor temporarily only for them to return a few hours later. Bio Scene Clean Up utilizes equipment to permanently remove these odors from effected materials. The chemicals we use are designed to neutralize odors at the molecular level so they won’t return. We are also dedicated to ensuring the safety of anyone associated with this type of scene. We cannot stress how important it is to hire a professional biohazard clean up company to perform this work.
Bio Scene Clean Up is fully equipped to handle unattended death clean up scenes. We maintain the equipment and advanced training to properly handle the scene of an unattended death. Our cleaning technicians are professional and have the utmost compassion when dealing with the details of these tasks. We understand what a difficult time it is and work efficiently to clean and restore a home to its original state. Bio Scene Clean Up also offers additional services that can assist you in cleaning debris, clutter and other items from these scenes. Please contact us for more details.

Odor Removal from Death Scene Cleanup
We are frequently called to clean up after an unattended death or suicide and one of the very first questions we’re always asked is, “Can you get rid of this odor completely?” The answer is yes however, several factors will determine the amount of time and work necessary to remediate these odors and return the scene to a clean, sanitary environment.
What we’ll need to know:
1. Were did the death occur, and what elements are directly connected to the death scene? For instance, did the person die in a bed, on a carpeted floor, in a bathtub or a car? Death clean up requires decontamination of furniture, flooring, fabrics and virtually any porous surfaces related to the scene. In certain cases, it may also be necessary to remove and replace walls, ceilings, sub-flooring and possibly insulation.
2. How long has it been since the death occurred? If the death was an accident, suicide or an elderly person and not discovered immediately, the cleanup process is more entailed as most likely decomposition has started. We would need to follow specific cleaning processes using chemicals, antimicrobial cleaners and ozone or neutralizing agents. Ozone is commonly used in death cleanup because of it’s quick reaction to carbon based molecules associated with death odors. It’s a highly useful tool but not a guarantee that it will completely get rid of the odor.
At Bio Scene Clean Up, we take every measure to safe and effectively remediate these scenes with as minimal disruption as possible. Our cleanup technicians are trained to provide our clients with the emotional support needed during these types of tasks. The unattended death of a friend or loved one is never something that anyone is prepared to handle. The emotions and questions that are brought on by this tragic event can make it difficult to determine what to do next.
Our goal is to offer clients the assurance that our work will completely restore the scene to a pre-incident condition and we are dedicated to the protection and safety of our clients. Hiring the proper cleanup company is difficult, after we analyze the scene, we provide a full plan of action and work directly with our clients through each step of the process. Contact us today for more information about the services we offer.

Myths and Facts About Suicide or Depression
Depression in Americans today is more common than Cancer, AIDS or Diabetes combined. It’s estimated that nearly 400,000+ people attempt suicide in the United States each year.Suicides peak during the major holidays
There are certain times of the year that suicides spike and are more common, but during the holidays isn’t that time. Statistics show that suicides in December are usually at their lowest and seem to peak in the spring months. Bio Scene Clean Up provides suicide cleanup services in the Tampa Bay and Sarasota, FL areas. We also find that we receive fewer suicide cleanup calls during the winter months in Florida.Suicide rates are higher with altitude
It’s been discovered that the greater the altitude of someone’s home, the higher the suicide rate seems to be. This is particularly true in cities with high rise living. These suicide rates ranked higher than those of increased gun ownership or of a lower population density.Teens are the highest risk of suicide
This is actually just the opposite. Elderly people are more likely to commit suicide than any other age group.

Luminol cleaning in automobiles
Every year thousands of crimes are committed that involve vehicles. CSI personnel commonly use a chemical know as “Luminol” in the process of discovering blood in vehicles. Other substances such as
fingerprint dust are also used and are extremely difficult to remove.
Bio Scene Clean Up provides cleanup and restoration of vehicles that
contain luminol, fingerprint dust, blood and other biohazard pathogens
that may be associated with crimes and trauma. If you are responsible for cleaning or restoration of a vehicle containing these chemicals, it’s important that you hire a professional company like Bio Scene Clean Up to perform the restoration. Any biohazards that may be found in the car can be spread through the use of these chemicals. Even trace elements of blood, if not properly removed and sanitized can cause potential dangers to your health for weeks after the cleanup is performed.
In addition to health risks associated with blood and other biohazards in vehicles, if they are not properly removed, you can have problems with horrific odors, bugs and other harmful bacteria that can be extremely difficult to completely remove if the initial cleaning was done improperly.
Bio Scene Clean Up maintains all necessary equipment to completely clean, sanitize and remove all odors from vehicles. Whether the vehicle was subject to a crime, death, suicide or other traumatic incident, it’s important that you know the health risks associated with these scenes and leave the cleanup to trained professionals.
Many times after CSI or emergency personnel have completed their duties, the vehicle is released to whomever is responsible. At the time the vehicle is released instructions or warnings are most likely not given on the proper handling of cleanup or transporting the vehicle. Because of this, not only is there a potential for health risks with the personal responsible, but may cause liabilities to them if the health of others is affected due further contamination because of improper handling.
If you are responsible for a vehicles that has been involved in an accident, trauma, crime or death call us immediately for professional, licensed cleanup.

Who do you call when death cleanup is necessary?
There are many different causes of death with natural death, of course, being the most desirable form. Bio Scene Clean Up provides death cleanup services for Natural and Unattended Death, Violent deaths related to crimes and trauma and even vehicle accident deaths.
In every death scene we clean there is always a presence of blood. Blood is a complex fluid of the human body which can turn bio-hazardous the moment it is exposed to the external environment. In natural circumstances of death due to sickness under medical supervision, it is not a tough situation to handle. Other deaths from violent crime or trauma scenes can contain widespread blood spills making the biohazard scene more difficult to clean.
Bio Scene Clean Up technicians maintain the proper experience and certifications necessary to clean and remediate death, crime, trauma and many other biohazard scenes. It is never suggested that untrained individuals attempt to clean up death and decomposing death scenes as the risks for health compromises are too great. Property owners may also be liable for any health issues that could arise from improper cleanup of a biohazard scene.
When a person dies the body immediately begins the decomposition process. When the human body begins decomposition it releases dangerous biohazards, gasses and other airborne pathogens that are extremely dangerous if proper protocol for cleanup is not followed. It a death scene has been unattended for a period of time the presence of bugs and organisms will be found which can also carry the biohazards to other areas of the death site. Our technicians use special equipment and industrial chemicals only available to biohazard cleanup companies to help remediate and disinfect the site. This helps ensure the odors are completely gone and do not return and the site is 100% sanitary and free from any biohazards.
Death is something that we are all aware of, but we usually don’t think about the aftermath when someone dies. Who is responsible for clean up? Who do you call to help? Bio Scene Clean Up offers quick response times and is locally owned and operated to service the entire Tampa Bay and Sarasota, Florida areas.

Biohazard Cleanup form Prison Worker Suicides
Bio Scene Clean UP receives many calls for aftermath cleanup from suicide scenes. When people hear suicides they usually think of depressed, emotionally challenged individuals alone at home or in some remote areas. This is true in many cases, however suicide victims can be someone with emotional disorders, professionals in high stress industries, someone with financial problems or even children with relation to crimes, drugs, gangs or even bullying.
Recently the awareness of personnel in America’s prison systems has noticed an increase in the amount of staff suicides. Primarily the thought is that there is a direct relation between the dismal environment that workers endure and the feeling of hopelessness that is associated with prisoners, especially ones that have been sentenced to life without parole. These workers typically work long hours and in most cases are confined to one specific area and never see the outside world once they report for duty.
These workers deal with violent fights, suicides, murders and many other scenarios inside prison facilities so it’s understandable that it can take an emotional toll on workers. Bio Scene Clean Up provides biohazard cleanup services for police jail cells, prisons and other secure facilities where biohazards such as blood, urine, feces and other bodily fluids are present. We are skilled in handling and removal of biohazards in a discreet, safe manner and restoring these scenes to a safe sanitized environment.
