The Situation Long Beach Owners Face After a Crime Scene
Long Beach saw 38 homicides in 2024, the city's highest annual total in three years and a steep jump from 26 the year before, with the South Division around downtown and the East Division carrying most of the increase. That is the context our crews respond into regularly, and the work has its own timeline once the property has been released.
How quickly the response gets started shapes the final scope. Biological material continues to soak deeper into porous building materials with time, and Long Beach's coastal climate can compound that with mold growth in compromised materials. The Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner on Mission Road handles the front end on cases involving a death; from release forward, the cleanup is the owner's responsibility, and our crews are available around the clock for that reason.
Our Long Beach 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 Long Beach
We start with a sealed perimeter and the crew in full PPE. Plastic sheeting separates the affected zone from the rest of the property, and HEPA air filtration runs at the perimeter before anything inside containment gets touched. For Long Beach's multi-unit buildings, the containment design takes shared ventilation between units into account, so the work does not pull adjacent properties into the cleanup.
Porous materials that absorbed contamination get cut out and removed. Carpet pad, drywall, upholstery, subflooring. All of it goes out packaged for medical waste transport, with chain-of-custody documentation following the material to a permitted disposal facility. Hard surfaces are then treated with EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant validated against HIV, hepatitis B and C, and MRSA. Contact times run in full on every application. Where the coastal climate has driven mold growth in the affected materials, antifungal chemistry is built into the protocol before closeout. ATP testing produces the final result, and the clearance file goes to the owner for whatever record-keeping use 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 Long Beach?
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 California 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?
Long Beach-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.
