What Phoenix Crime Scene Cleanup Looks Like Under Arizona Law
Phoenix Police investigated 139 homicides in 2024, a roughly 28% decrease from 191 in 2023, and through the first three quarters of 2025 the trend continued downward to 84 cases over that period. Those numbers represent investigations completed by law enforcement. The property cleanup that follows is a separate process, and it is governed by Arizona regulations covering bloodborne pathogens and biohazardous medical waste. Those rules determine what is removed from the property, what is preserved, how the waste stream is tracked, and which licensed facility receives it.
The Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner on Jefferson Street controls the timeline at the front of any scene involving a death. From the moment the property is released, the cleanup is the owner's responsibility, and the response window matters because biological material continues to set deeper into building materials over time. Remnant responds across Phoenix around the clock for that reason.
Our Phoenix Crime Scene Cleanup Process
Scene Assessment
Our team walks the property and tests surfaces to locate every area affected by blood or fluids.
Containment Setup
Plastic barriers and air filters seal off the work area, keeping contamination from spreading further.
Removal of Affected Materials
Any carpet, drywall, or insulation that has absorbed biological matter is cut out and safely bagged.
Surface Cleaning and Disinfection
Hard surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade disinfectants approved for bloodborne pathogens.
Odor Removal
Ozone or hydroxyl machines clear smells from the air, fabric, and wood throughout the space
Final Inspection
A retest confirms the area is fully decontaminated, with written documentation provided to the owner
How Our Crews Handle Crime Scene Remediation in Phoenix
Entry begins with full protective equipment and a sealed perimeter. Plastic sheeting isolates the affected zone from the rest of the property, and air filtration is established before anything inside containment is disturbed. In multi-unit Phoenix buildings, the containment also accounts for shared ventilation so nothing crosses into adjacent units during the work.
Porous materials that absorbed contamination, including carpet pad, drywall, upholstery, and subflooring, are removed, double-bagged to Arizona medical waste specifications, and transported under documented chain of custody to a permitted facility. Hard surfaces are treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant validated against HIV, hepatitis B and C, and MRSA, with the full contact window observed on every application. ATP testing produces the closeout result, and the written clearance documentation goes to the property owner for whatever insurance, legal, or property record purpose comes next.
