There are few things in life that involve greater emotion or a greater sense of loss than the sudden death of a loved one due to suicide.

 

In the hours and days after such a tragic event, everyone who knew the victim might well be in a state of shock, and find it hard to even function, much less get through a normal day.

 

At a time like that, you certainly don’t want to be bothered with the physical details surrounding the site of the suicide, and the potential for biological hazards which might be present. At Steri-Clean Illinois, we totally understand the perspective, having witnessed it often since 1995, when we began our biological cleanup business. Because we know what you’re going through, we do everything in our power to shield you from the messy part of the event, and we carry out the site remediation while involving you as little as possible.

 

We bring a highly professional approach to every suicide cleanup situation we become involved in, with non-judgmental attitudes and our compassionate and discreet service that keeps the situation contained to immediate family only. We will be very glad to provide you with a free estimate when you contact us, and at the same time, we can inform you about how quickly we can be on the scene, to get the site remediation underway.

Why Fast Cleanup is Essential:

There are several reasons why cleanup of a suicide site should be carried out are the very earliest opportunity, and why you should contact Steri-Clean Illinois for the fastest, most effective service:

 

   • Remove signs of the event – if the suicide attempt occurred within your home or office building, or somewhere on the premises, there are likely to be considered signs left in the aftermath which can be extremely troubling to family members, or to anyone who knew the deceased person. The faster that these unpleasant reminders can be removed, the less trauma it will cause to everyone involved.
   • Biological Hazard – in addition to the often disturbing appearance of the site, there is a good possibility that biological hazards may be involved, and these will need to be eradicated before they spread to others within the environment and beyond. As one good example, some diseases can be present in human blood which have the capability of living outside the body for days or weeks at a time. If not prevented from doing so, they can easily spread to anyone who happens to be near the infected site.
​   • Responsibility rests with relatives – when the police or other authorities investigate the scene where suicide or attempted suicide has occurred, they are not obligated to do any kind of cleanup of the site at all. Their responsibility ends with removing the body of the victim and then collecting any evidence which may have been part of the scene. After they have accomplished these tasks, they will be gone, and the rest is up to the family.
