Sonterra Murder Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
Who cleans up after a homicide?
Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.
Does the Texas program pay if I clean it myself?
A person who cleans alone can be reimbursed for supplies. Hiring a company may allow the company's service costs to be reimbursed. Either way, keep every receipt. Only the Texas Attorney General can decide a claim.
When can homicide cleanup begin?
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. In Texas, a justice of the peace or a medical examiner, depending on the county, looks into certain deaths. Ask the police when the property can be entered.
Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.
