Q: How do we choose the right company to help?

A:  Be aware of FAKES. That are just out to make a "quick buck" off of you and could care less about you as a person. Look at how they DISPOSE of the waste are they themselves "just throwing it in the trash" or do they have the proper means of packaging, storage and disposal to a certified disposal facility?  Do there CERTIFICATION have NOTHING to do with Bio Recovery are they insured as a Crime Cleaning Company or just a Janitorial "house cleaner" service? Are they using that same equipment that was used to clean a bloody scene to come clean your carpets? "IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME" You need to slow down for a second just to make sure you are getting the best people you can for these type of situations.  This could turn into a very serious problem if it is not cleaned, disinfected and disposed of properly.

There are morals, respect, and ethics involved Chesapeake Crime Cleaners puts people first always.
