Tear gas cleanup

Tear gas is fired out of a shotgun and the canister itself is shaped like a small torpedo. When the canister hits inside the structure it ruptures, releasing a fine oily mist that penetrates all areas of a room. Usually several canisters are fired into a home making it virtually impossible for a suspect to hide. Unfortunately, the entire house is uninhabitable after such an event. Tear gas usually leaves pink or other color paint on walls and other surfaces where the canisters have ruptured. Many canisters will penetrate into a wall. When this occurs, the drywall must be removed and all pieces of the device must be removed. Crime scene clean up companies utilizes special equipment and tear gas neutralizers to remove tear gas residue and odor. A company hired for tear gas removal must be properly trained.

Crime scene clean up, death cleanup, suicide clean up


The crime scene clean up company you hire should be a company that has the experience and know how to complete the job from beginning to end.  In the biohazard restoration business many people will start a job and not finish it due to complications they come across such as extreme odors the crews are not trained or equipped to handle, trauma or suicide cleanup where the blood and gore or other matter creates an atmosphere they can't handle, or the scene has cause so much corruption they are not sure where to begin.  It is better to work with technicians that have the needed licensing and understand the crime scene cleanup industry in way that makes sure the job is done right the first time no matter what they come across.
