Crime Scene Cleanup in Spencer
If a crime happens in a Spencer home, family members should not be the ones cleaning up. After law enforcement, and the medical examiner where a death occurred, release the scene, we remove blood, powder and damaged items.
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 Spencer
- Tennessee's Criminal Injuries Compensation program may reimburse eligible victims or relatives up to $3,000 toward cleanup of their residence

What to know in Spencer
In a town the size of Spencer, a crime scene may be investigated by town officers, the county sheriff or state investigators, depending on the case and location. Whichever agency it is, it releases the property, and if someone died, the Van Buren County medical examiner must release it too. After that, we clean blood, fingerprint powder and debris left from entry. We never touch evidence. Doors, glass and locks are repaired by a local contractor the owner chooses.
Tennessee's victim compensation fund may cover up to $3,000 in cleaning when a family's own residence, or a relative's, was where a qualifying violent crime occurred, as long as insurance and other sources have paid first and the claim meets its deadlines. A victim advocate can help with the application. We explain the scope of the work plainly. Our assault cleanup page describes how we approach scenes where someone was hurt but survived, which are often smaller in scope.
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.
