FAQs
Philadelphia Trauma Cleanup Services
How much does crime scene cleanup cost?
Crime scene and trauma cleanup costs vary significantly based on each unique situation. We recommend scheduling an onsite inspection where our technicians can assess the scene and provide a complimentary written evaluation with our recommended treatment plan. Without physically viewing the location, it's not possible to accurately determine the severity of the situation or provide precise pricing. No qualified professional can give you a reliable estimate over the phone without an in-person assessment.Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cleanup services?
Each situation is different and requires individual evaluation. While we can't guarantee insurance coverage, homeowner's insurance policies typically cover our services in most cases. Coverage depends on your specific policy terms and deductibles. PTCS collaborates with experienced public adjusters who can guide you through the entire claims process and help ensure you receive the maximum coverage available to you.Do you offer financial assistance?
Philadelphia Trauma Cleanup Services provides multiple payment options for our clients. After evaluating your situation, we can estimate your out-of-pocket costs and provide a detailed written assessment of our recommended work. For those affected by violent crimes, several third-party funding sources may help. Crime victim compensation programs, administered by state governments, offer financial assistance to victims and their families. Benefits, eligibility requirements, and application processes vary by state.
