Using a Specialized company

Meth remediation, crime, trauma and bio-hazardous scenes are all we do. Be cautious of carpet cleaning or janitorial companies that claim they can remediate your situation - most do not come close to meeting the requirements needed to remediate bio-hazardous scenes, let alone have the proper training, experience or insurance.  Traumatic Cleanup & Restoration has an extensive “ongoing” training and certification program that far exceeds Federal, State, Local, OSHA, NIOSH, EPA and DOT guidelines. We also carry the highest levels of insurance, for the specialty the type of work we perform, to protect your property or business and most importantly your family.

TCR provides free estimates for our services. We strongly recommend that you check any company’s references to insure you are dealing with a reputable company .
