The Aftermath of a Crime Scene for a Colorado Springs Property Owner
Colorado Springs recorded 51 homicides in 2024 according to the El Paso County Coroner's Office, a small increase from 50 the year before, with 71% involving firearms. That is the context our crews respond into. The work has its own timeline once the property has been released back to the owner or family.
The El Paso County Coroner's Office handles cases involving a death, and the cleanup begins when the property is back in the owner's hands. The response window directly affects what the final scope looks like, particularly given the climate factors specific to the Front Range. Biological material in a closed Colorado Springs property dries quickly in the dry mountain air, but it also bonds harder to the materials it has dried into, which means a slower response usually leads to a more involved cleanup, not a simpler one. Our crews respond around the clock across Colorado Springs and the surrounding El Paso County area.
Our Colorado Springs 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
The Crime Scene Cleanup Process in a Colorado Springs Property
The crew works in full PPE behind a sealed perimeter. Plastic sheeting separates the affected zone from the rest of the property, and HEPA filtration is operating before anything inside containment is disturbed. In multi-unit Colorado Springs buildings, the containment design also handles shared ventilation between units, so adjacent properties stay outside the cleanup scope.
Porous materials that absorbed contamination, carpet pad, drywall, upholstery, subflooring, get removed, packaged for medical waste transport, and routed under documented chain of custody to a permitted disposal facility. The hard surfaces get treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant validated against HIV, hepatitis B and C, and MRSA, with the manufacturer-specified contact window observed in full on every application. ATP testing produces the cellular-level closeout result, and the written clearance documentation goes to the property owner for whatever insurance, legal, or property record purpose comes next.

Cleanup Success Rate
"Had a situation in one of our rentals off Division. Called them on a Sunday night, they were there Monday morning. Quote was honest, didn't try to upsell me on anything. Got the unit turned around faster than I expected and the paperwork for our insurance was already done."
Still Have Questions?
How long does a crime scene cleanup take in Colorado Springs?
Most residential scenes are completed within 4 to 8 hours, though larger properties or cases involving extensive structural damage may take a full day or longer. We provide a clear timeline before any work begins.
Does homeowners insurance cover crime scene cleanup?
In most cases, yes. Standard Colorado homeowners and rental property policies often cover biohazard remediation under personal property or dwelling coverage. Our team works directly with your insurer and handles claim documentation on your behalf.
Will my neighbors know what happened?
No. Our trucks and uniforms carry no biohazard branding or company markings that signal the nature of the work. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles to protect your privacy throughout the entire process.
How quickly can your team arrive after a call?
Colorado Springs-area calls receive a response within one to two hours, day or night. Faster arrival means less damage to building materials and a lower overall cost for the property owner.
