Surface-Only Cleaning
Standard cleaning only treats visible surfaces, leaving hidden pathogens and odors trapped deep within.

Molecular Decontamination
We eliminate biohazards at the molecular level, using advanced ATP testing to guarantee 100% decontamination.
Our crew mobilizes throughout Missoula and nearby areas including University District, Southside, Northside, Orchard Homes, and Target Range, with discreet service when it matters most.
When Law Enforcement Finishes in Missoula, the Cleanup Becomes the Owner's
Missoula Police investigators and the Missoula County Sheriff's Office (carrying the county's coroner role) hand the property back to the owner or family once their work is complete. The cleanup begins on the owner's clock from there, and the speed of that response shapes how far the eventual scope reaches.
Property type changes the math. Older Lower Rattlesnake and University District homes have construction materials that hold biological residue in ways modern materials do not, which usually calls for a longer treatment phase. Apartment buildings along Brooks Street and Russell have shared ventilation that lets contamination move beyond the affected unit if containment is not established quickly. The dry Missoula air accelerates surface drying, which in turn sets tougher bonds between residue and substrate. We respond around the clock across Missoula and the surrounding Missoula County area.
Our Missoula 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
Inside a Missoula Crime Scene Cleanup From Arrival to Closeout
The crew enters the work area only after the perimeter is fully sealed and every crew member is in full protective gear. Plastic sheeting partitions the affected zone from the rest of the property, and air filtration is operating before anyone touches a surface inside containment. For multi-unit buildings near the University of Montana campus and along Brooks Street, the air management also takes into account shared ventilation paths, which keeps adjacent properties outside the scope of the job.
Porous materials carrying contamination, carpet pad, drywall, upholstery, subflooring, come out and travel under documented chain of custody to a permitted disposal facility, sealed for medical waste transport. Hard surfaces then get treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant validated against HIV, hepatitis B and C, and MRSA, with the manufacturer's specified contact window playing out in full each time. In older Missoula properties where the dry continental climate has hardened biological material into original substrates, the treatment sequence accounts for the deeper bonding. Closing confirmation comes from cellular-level biological testing, and the written clearance file is handed back to the property owner at job's end.

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 Missoula?
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 Montana 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?
Missoula-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.
