 How long does the average job take? The average crime scene takes about four to six hours, depending on the situation. A couple of things that can make the job take longer are buildings with no elevators or shared elevators that are very busy, a decomposition in a bathroom where the tile, vanity, and toilet have to be removed. Those things are super time consuming and will add to the cost as well. The average cost of crime scene is $4,000 to $6,000. The advantage is it's covered by homeowner's insurance.
