Crime Scene Cleanup in Lewisburg
Being the county seat, Lewisburg has three agencies that might hold a scene: local police, the Marshall County sheriff and the medical examiner. Whichever one it is, their release starts the clock for us, and from there we deal with blood, print powder and the wreckage of a forced door or window.
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.
Local considerations in Lewisburg
- Tennessee Criminal Injuries Compensation may reimburse eligible victims or relatives up to $3,000 for cleaning a residence; it pays only after other sources.
- Downtown businesses can be cleaned after hours.
- We do not begin until the release is official.
Planning crime scene cleanup in Lewisburg
A Lewisburg scene may sit inside city limits or out along US 431 and SR 50 in unincorporated Marshall County, and that changes which agency controls the release. Local police handle the first; the sheriff's office generally handles the second. Either way, investigators finish their work, collect what they need and tell the owner the property is released. Only then do we begin. Evidence, firearms and anything the investigation needs stay with law enforcement, and we do not take part in that process.
What remains afterward is often more than blood. Fingerprint powder settles on door frames and counters, and forced entry can leave splintered jambs and broken glass. We handle fingerprint powder removal along with the biohazard work, and we can clean up after a burglary or vandalism where there is broken glass or bodily fluid involved. If the scene was a victim's home or a relative's home after a homicide, sexual assault or aggravated assault, the family may be eligible for Tennessee Criminal Injuries Compensation for cleanup costs, which pays only after other sources such as insurance.
