Does homeowners insurance cover crime scene cleanups?

Crime scene cleanup teams restore your home back to normal after a violent incident occurs on your property. They handle blood cleanup and deal with other biohazards so you can focus on recovering. One incorrect assumption people often have is that the police will arrange for and pay for crime scene clean-up, but hiring cleaners in Orlando is the responsibility of the homeowner. Since the police don’t cover the cost of cleanup, will your insurance?

Most insurance policies offer coverage for crime scene cleanup services. In your policy, this kind of cleanup is usually referred to as biohazard coverage. This kind of coverage usually not only pays for cleanup after a crime but also after an unattended death or suicide. If an incident occurs on your property, contact your insurance company to determine your level of coverage. The crime scene cleaning company may also be able to help with insurance filings and can provide an estimate of the cleaning costs before beginning work.
