Blood Cleanup Services
Blood-borne germs and blood will not always cooperate. Sometimes it will not be as easy as enclosing a space and beginning cleaning. At any time biological fluids are present on a surface it can have a major negative impact on health and cause disease. Contaminated locations must be thoroughly removed and cleaned if you do not want to contribute to unsafe and unhealthy ecosystems. This calls for qualified experts.
A standard to safeguard employees from the risk of blood or other potentially infectious materials was published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1991. The Hepatitis B virus, HIV, and many other diseases are examples of infectious pathogens.
About 5.6 million workers in the healthcare sector and related vocations are protected by this standard. Remediation of biohazards is covered by the OSHA standard.
You must hire a qualified company to come in and remove the blood or bodily fluids. Our blood cleaners are in high demand because not many people are willing or capable of performing this work. After an accident or other traumatic occurrence, we specialize in providing your home or place of business with safe, dependable blood and body fluid cleanup services. We repair the damaged area, clean and sanitize it, and then make it habitable once more.
Disinfect and Cleanup Hoarder Houses
Hurricane Ian was the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane. Ian caused catastrophic damage in parts of Southwest Florida, mostly from flooding due to extreme storm surge and rainfall. In particular, the cities of Fort Myers Beach and Naples were impacted strongly. Sanibel suffered major flooding as well and its causeway collapsed, with the bridge to Fort Myers being leveled.

contact usFrequently Asked Questions About Crime Scene Cleanup in Fort Myers
Who pays for crime scene cleanup?
In many cases, homeowners or property insurance covers crime scene cleanup costs. Some states also have victim compensation programs that may help. If insurance does not cover the full cost, CAT 3 Recovery works with property owners to find a manageable solution.
How long does crime scene cleanup take?
The timeline depends on the type of incident, the size of the affected area, and the materials involved. A small contained scene may take a few hours. Complex scenes requiring structural remediation can take several days. CAT 3 Recovery provides an honest estimate during the initial assessment.
Is crime scene cleanup regulated in Florida?
Yes. Crime scene and biohazard cleanup in Florida must follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards, EPA waste disposal regulations, and Florida Department of Health guidelines. CAT 3 Recovery maintains all required certifications and follows ANSI/IICRC S540 standards.
Can I clean a crime scene myself?
It is strongly discouraged. Crime scenes contain bloodborne pathogens and biological hazards that pose serious health risks without proper training, equipment, and disinfectants. Improper cleanup can also create legal liability. Professional crime scene cleanup ensures the area is fully decontaminated and safe.
What happens to contaminated materials during crime scene cleanup?
All contaminated materials including flooring, drywall, personal items, and biological waste are carefully removed, placed in approved biohazard containers, and transported to a licensed medical waste disposal facility. CAT 3 Recovery handles all disposal in full compliance with state and federal regulations.
Is crime scene cleanup confidential?
Absolutely. CAT 3 Recovery uses unmarked vehicles and maintains strict confidentiality for all clients. We understand the sensitivity of these situations and take every precaution to protect your privacy during the cleanup process.
Do I need to be present during crime scene cleanup?
No. In fact, most families and property owners prefer not to be present. CAT 3 Recovery can coordinate access, communicate progress by phone, and notify you when the property is safe and ready for re-entry.
Is water damage covered by my insurance?
Sudden and accidental losses such as burst pipes, AC overflows and water heater failures usually are. Flood from rising water needs a separate flood policy. We document either way so your claim is as strong as possible.
What should I do before you arrive?
Shut off the water source if you can find it, kill power to wet rooms at the breaker, and move furniture off wet floors. Do not run fans on sewage or floodwater. Text us photos and we will walk you through the rest.
Do you serve all of Fort Myers?
Yes. Our shop is on Rickenbacker Parkway near RSW, and we cover every Fort Myers ZIP code from 33901 downtown to 33913 in Gateway, plus North Fort Myers, San Carlos Park and Iona. Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres and Estero are inside 45 minutes most of the day.

The inspection and estimate are free. On covered losses we bill your carrier directly. If you are paying out of pocket, you will have a written price before we start.
Decomposed Body Odor Cleanup & Removal Services
When someone dies, the decomposition process begins immediately, therefore every second counts. Dealing with the aftereffects of the decomposition process is a horrible experience for a loved one, especially for a family member who is grieving. In many cases, it is also required to remove a portion of the property, depending on how long it has been since. Removing furniture, flooring, drywall, and other elements of the house that have been impacted by the decomposition process is a common part of a decomposition cleanup. We are here to complete the full task on your behalf, giving you the assurance that the property is being managed efficiently, morally, rapidly, and discreetly.
We thoroughly clean impacted surfaces using EPA-approved cleaning supplies after removing all readily visible blood and potentially dangerous materials. You can expect deep cleaning, deodorizing and disinfection.
Cleanup teams are occasionally entrusted with removing objects that have decomposed. This can be difficult because the stench of decay can be overpowering and unpleasant. Decomposed material might also be challenging to remove without inflicting additional harm. As a result, it is critical that cleanup teams have the right training and tools in order to remove degraded materials in a safe and efficient manner. Decomposition cleaning can be carried out effectively and swiftly with the correct equipment and strategy, reducing the foul smell and bringing order to the afflicted area.
An odor in the house might be brought on by a variety of factors. Trauma brought on by a neglected death, a criminal scene, a hoarding situation, or even by pets. Particularly if the source is a biological item that is degrading, pungent and overpowering aromas might turn hazardous. Even a tiny amount of bacteria can proliferate and result in major bodily harm to the house if left unchecked. In addition to being unpleasant, airborne germs may produce lasting scents that may have an effect on future tenants’ safety and well-being.
Death odors present are addressed by a particular sort of odor removal called death odor removal. Death odors, in contrast to other odors, are frequently quite potent and persistent, making it challenging to eliminate those using conventional techniques.
You can expect all kinds of crime scene cleanup services from our end. Call us now for immediate assistance and get back to living as normally as possible.
