Moments in Family History Require Crime Scene Cleanup in Phoenix

Trust SERVPRO for Empathetic Crime Scene Cleanup
Violent crime is increasing in many areas of the Nation, and statistics are beginning to point toward more and more families having someone close to them be a victim of senseless, brutal criminal activity. When a person is murdered, or just simply dies alone, the immediate area can be left in a highly contaminated state.
Surviving family members in Phoenix need professionals who can empathize with their pain while providing the necessary services inherent to crime scene cleanup procedures. Without both of these factors, families can suffer for longer, more intense periods than families who find professionals who help them cope with the complex and harsh realities of the immediate situation.
We train our technicians to be more than the average professional restoring homes and businesses. They understand that it is vital always to give those left behind by the death, particularly a violent and unexpected one, of a loved member of their family, the compassion they need and deserve. To do otherwise would create an additional injury for the grieving family members. Moreover, we are also members of this community.
Minimizing the amount of confusion that cleaning up after the police and coroner's staff have left can often be aided by having one specific person on our team designated to both inform the family of any new developments and answer any of their questions. The death (if there was such an unfortunate occurrence), the scene, strangers in and out of the home, the neighbors, distant relatives, the ongoing questions, and the emotional toll, all contribute to the stress. Cleaning the scene should be the last thing you and your family need to worry about in situations like this.
The IICRC has recently published internationally accepted standards, protocols, and procedures that provide protections for affected families and technicians for use in cleaning up locations where criminal activity occurred. Moreover, other highly sensitive situations exist. While this is a newly published document, the contents were largely known to those companies, such as SERVPRO, with experience in handling materials that were potentially hazardous to the environment or human health.
At SERVPRO of East Phoenix, we understand that losing a family member to any cause can be devastating. When that death is part of a heinous crime, the trauma and senselessness are much greater than what many realize. We can help your family by ensuring any crime scene cleanup is carried out professionally by compassionate and qualified technicians. Whenever your family needs help with a traumatic experience such as this, call us at (602) 507-6163. We are always available to answer the phone and take your call.
