Certified crime scene cleanup with compassionate, discreet 24/7 response across South Florida.
Crime Scene Services
Crime Scene Cleanup is not a standard janitorial job. In Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties, heat and humidity push odors and microbial growth quickly when contamination is left in place.
Professional crime scene and trauma scene cleanup with OSHA compliant protocols, discreet response, and full documentation for insurance and law enforcement coordination.
IPS HazMat (International Protective Services) has handled biohazard losses for law enforcement, hotels, railways, and municipalities for nearly 50 years. We dispatch from 3964 NE 5th Ave, Oakland Park with crews sized to your scene.
When to call for crime scene cleanup
- Police or BSO has released the scene and you need the space cleaned before anyone returns
- A business, church, school, or transit facility had a violent or medical emergency in a public area
- Blood or tissue reached carpeting, grout, HVAC vents, or multiple rooms
- You need a vendor familiar with chain-of-custody when evidence collection is complete
Why hire a professional crew
Blood and many bodily fluids can carry hepatitis, HIV, and other bloodborne pathogens. OSHA treats them as regulated waste when cleanup goes beyond a simple surface wipe.
Household cleaners are not built for porous materials. Drywall, subfloor, and HVAC systems often need selective removal, not just spraying and wiping.
Documentation matters. Photos, waste manifests, and clearance notes help with insurance adjusters, landlords, and municipal clients.
What happens when you call IPS HazMat
- Phone assessment and dispatch. We ask about the scene so the crew arrives with the right PPE and equipment

- Removal of contaminated porous materials when they cannot be disinfected in place

- Odor treatment and air scrubbing when needed
- Final walk-through, photos, and disposal records for your files
Insurance and documentation
Many crime scene cleanup jobs fall under property or commercial liability policies, but coverage depends on the policy and the incident. We can provide itemized documentation, photos, and disposal records your adjuster or risk manager can review. Call before you start demolition so we can scope the loss correctly.
IPS HazMat follows OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030, EPA guidance, and IICRC S500/S520/S900 where the loss type applies. Technicians are background-checked. Regulated waste moves under generator #7888 and transporter WT-24-0104.

Common questions about crime scene cleanup
- Can I clean a crime scene myself?
- Florida property owners sometimes try and then discover fluid soaked through baseboards or under tile. If the loss crossed into porous materials, professional removal and disinfection is the safer route.
- Do you coordinate with Miami-Dade or Broward investigators?
- We arrive after official release. We do not interfere with open investigations, and we can schedule around detective or insurance photographer visits when needed.
- How long does crime scene cleanup take?
- A single room with hard surfaces might be done in a day. Multi-room losses with flooring removal can run longer. We give you a written scope after the walk-through.
- Is crime scene cleanup covered by insurance?
- Many homeowner and commercial policies include biohazard remediation after a covered loss. We provide documentation; your adjuster confirms coverage.
