Suicide Cleanup - Usually I charge a flat fee for around $900, except for shotgun suicide cleanup or suicide cleanup with decomposition.

See below for short narratives about suicide cleanup:

My name is Eddie Evans and my suicide cleanup business runs in Orange County and the rest of California. My cleaning experience includes military trauma cleanup, crime scene cleanup, and decomposition cleanup, and many other types of blood cleanup situations.

My training includes upholstery cleaning, carpet cleaning, Persian rug cleaning, floor inspection, concrete restoration, mold testing and restoration, water damage and restoration, and more. I have multiple academic degrees.

I have lived in Orange County for over 30 years. I do business in Orange County as crime scene cleanup. I have been married for over 40 years.

Calling for a Suicide Cleanup

Call me and call other suicide cleanup companies at any time of day or night, any day of the year. Find out why you will choose Biosafe.

I clean alone and this makes the big difference between me and the other guys. Families in need of crime scene cleanup with a full day to spare will save money with my service.

Because I have no employees to pay, because I have no workmen's compensation to pay, and because I have no medical insurance for employees to pay, my overhead remains low.

My biohazardous waste disposal fees remain low and I pay a monthly fee. I use Stericyle because they offer good service and reasonable fees. Even so, any time that I encounter biohazardous waste, I first apply disinfecting solutions to it. I make every effort not to carry biohazardous waste onto public streets, so I spend a lot of time diluting, altering, and sealing biohazardous waste.

I use over-the-counter chemicals so that you know exactly what I use and how it works. Sometimes I do use "professional" chemicals, and if I do, you will first give permission to use these chemicals.

So chemical supplies come from the same stores that you shop in, with the one exception noted above.

Sometimes my wife works on the less stressful end of suicide cleanup. As a co-owner of all of crime scene cleanup companies, she shares and does not receive a salary.

Discretion and Privacy

I keep three vehicles for suicide cleanup, and none of them have biohazard cleanup markings on them. If I must carry biohazardous waste, then I do affix a symbol to the back of a white F-150, but only when I've left the suicide scene street.

So my expenses usually beat my competitors' expenses when it comes to a low overhead. My prices beat the competitions' prices in almost all cases.

I offer the same services as my competition when it comes to suicide cleanup, and I try to add value for the grieving family's convenience. I can do this because I work alone, because I have the power to take more time, to personalize my service, and to clean the way only the owner of a business cleans.

How much will I pay?

Usually I charge around $900 except for shotgun suicide cleanup. I must charge much more for some suicides by shotgun because of the extraordinary biological damage encountered. I also charge as much as $1,800 for some suicide cleanups following decomposition on wood floors, poorly grouted bathrooms with vinyl floors, and other easily damaged structures.

I do not generally repair damaged structures once I remove the material; however, I can do so when clients or insurance companies wish it so.

Prices for a Suicide Cleanup

My suicide cleanup prices reflect my costs and a fair price for my services. My skills, abilities, and knowledge come with my service, and for these I justify my profits, too. Experience has its cost and supporting Biosafe costs during slow as well as busy times.

When my prices exceed $1,000 my clients know beforehand while on the telephone.

How do I know what to charge?

I have cleaned hundreds of death scenes, including homicide cleanup, decomposition cleanup, and other biohazard cleanup tasks. At some point an experienced practitioner learns just about what to expect from different types of death scenes under different circumstances. Exceptions arise where wood floors have a poor maintenance history, natural stone and vinyl floors have poor grouting near walls, bathtubs and toilets have poor grouting, and blood flow along floor vent openings.

True, sometimes I find some additional challenges, but these become part of my business. At most I lose a day, or I must run out and buy some tool I've never added to my tool box. Rarely do I lose money, although I have. I learn. At these times I learn something new, and learning something new becomes no different for me than paying tuition to a college.

I know to expect the unexpected when quoting prices on the telephone for suicide cleanup. When walking onto a suicide cleanup job site, I know too that I'll probably make a fair profit for my work.

What to Expect

Expect that I will arrive on time, unless caught in traffic. Expect suicide cleanup to take anywhere from two hours to twelve hours. I clean three times. Areas heavily soiled and stained beyond cleaing approaches receiving a sealing coat of either Zinnsser primer or replaced. I can replace pieces of drywall, although larger areas may require the help of a contractor.

If a contractor must complete work, then insurance coverage may help. I cannot cover the cost of a contractor's work.

What you can do.

Turn the lights on. Open windows a few inches, if not all the way. If a heavy odor may cause neighbors discomfort, you may want to keep the windows closed. Try tossing sheets, blankets, or towels over the soiled area. Perhaps this will reduce the odor in the room.

Do not allow animals in. Keep doors closed. Place towels at the bottom of the door. Keep flies and other insects out. Summer days in XXXX will cause decomposition to occur quickly. Suicide cleanup should occur quickly, within a day. If not within 74 hours, flies and maggots become another issue.

Should you clean up this suicide?

If you feel some sort of duty to the deceased, and some surivors of a family member's suicide do feel such a duty, then good luck. If you care, call me and I will help with what I know.

If you do not have money for a suicide cleanup, call and I will help with what I know. Keep in mind that sometimes suicide cleanup entails some horrific sights and odors. Suicide cleanup may leave the cleaners with horrific memories for many years, a friend once advised me. He and his brother were forced into a suicide cleanup following their mother's suicide in the family's garage.

My pledge to Orange County's grieving families.
