Crime Scene Cleanup in Gallatin

After investigators in Gallatin release a scene, families and businesses are often left with blood, fingerprint powder and damage from forced entry. We clean what law enforcement leaves behind, never evidence, and we explain the work before beginning.

Once law enforcement releases a property, we remove blood, fingerprint powder, chemical residue and debris left by the incident and the investigation. Victims and families get a clear explanation of the work and help understanding what compensation programs may apply.

How this works in Gallatin

A crime scene in Gallatin may be a house in a subdivision off Vietnam Veterans Boulevard, a storefront on the historic square, or a room inside a distribution facility. Wherever it is, local police or the investigating agency must release it before we touch anything. After release, what remains is usually blood, fingerprint powder, and broken glass or splintered door frames from entry. We clean the biological material and powder residue; boarding up and door repair go to a carpenter or glazier you choose.

For a homicide, sexual assault or aggravated assault at the victim's own home or a relative's home, the family may qualify for up to $3,000 in cleanup costs from Tennessee's Criminal Injuries Compensation program, which pays only after insurance and other sources. The crime generally must be reported within 15 days. We provide an itemized description of the cleaning for a claim. Our page on fingerprint powder removal explains why that dark dust spreads when someone wipes it dry.

For a step-by-step explanation of the process, safety precautions and what we hand to other specialists, see our main crime scene cleanup page.

Frequently asked questions

Can a shop on Gallatin's downtown square reopen soon after a break-in that left blood behind?

Often the affected area can be isolated, cleaned and disinfected so the rest of the shop reopens sooner, but timing depends on the scene and on release by investigators. We will tell you on the phone what we expect to remove and how long the area may stay closed. Glass, locks and door repairs are handled by your own contractors.
