Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Outer Sunset, San Francisco, CA
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Is there emotional support available?

Can homicide cleaners work in a rental or apartment?

Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
