What Is Homicide Cleanup?
Homicide cleanup is the removal of blood, body fluids, and damaged materials after a violent death. Police, detectives, and the King County Medical Examiner collect evidence, but they do not clean. Once the scene is released, the property owner is responsible for restoring it.
These scenes are often larger than they look. Blood can travel across rooms, into vents, and under floors. Investigators may also leave fingerprint powder and chemical residue behind. We remove all of it. Seattle families have trusted Bio Management Northwest since 2007.

Why Families Should Not Clean a Homicide Scene
- Blood can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, which is why the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard requires trained workers and protective gear
- Blood soaks into carpet padding, subfloors, and drywall where you can't see it
- Fingerprint powder and investigation chemicals need special removal
- All contaminated materials must be disposed of as regulated biohazard waste
You've already lost so much. Let our team carry the weight of the cleanup.

Our Homicide Cleanup Process
Assess the scene
We find every area affected, including hidden spots under floors and inside walls.
Contain the area
We seal off the space so nothing spreads. Our crew wears full protective gear.
Remove biohazards and damaged materials
We remove blood, fluids, and anything that can't be saved. Waste is handled following biohazard cleanup rules.
Clean and disinfect
We use hospital-grade disinfectants and remove fingerprint powder and residue.
Remove odors and do a final check
Our odor removal process clears the air, and we confirm the space is safe.
If walls or floors need to be rebuilt, our home restoration team can handle repairs.
How Much Does Homicide Cleanup Cost in Seattle?
The price depends on the size of the scene, how far blood spread, and what materials need to be removed. Many jobs take one day. Larger scenes can take longer.
Homeowners and renters insurance often covers homicide cleanup. We bill your insurer directly. If insurance does not apply, we give fair, upfront pricing. See our pricing and insurance support page for details.
Common Questions About Homicide Cleanup
When can cleanup start?
As soon as police release the scene. We can be on site within 30 to 90 minutes after that.
Who pays for homicide cleanup?
Usually your property insurance. Washington's Crime Victims Compensation Program does not cover cleanup, but it may help with funeral costs, counseling, and lost wages.
Do I need to be there?
No. You can stay with family or friends while we work. We'll keep you updated by phone.
Will you save personal belongings?
Yes, whenever we can. Photos, papers, and keepsakes are cleaned and returned to you if they can be saved.
Where can I find support as a family?
The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has victim advocates for homicide cases who can explain your rights and help with compensation forms. If grief feels like too much, call or text the 988 Lifeline any time.
We also provide crime scene cleanup, suicide cleanup in Seattle, and blood cleanup. Read our customer reviews.
