 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling DeCon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. We are here at an unattended death here in St. Pete, Florida. This one, you can definitely tell that he was here for a while. He pretty much melted right here, so this is going to be our concentration. This right here is his skin that it fell off, melted off of him onto the mattress. General Manager of Spalling DeCon Tampa here, Steve Wolf. We are here at an unattended death here in St. Pete, Florida. We are just going to be handling the master bedroom. Retirement community, they are going to redo the entire floor anyways. So we are just handling the bio portion today. It's going to be a little bit sticky and muggy out today. The window has been open in the master bedroom since they found the body. So it's going to be an intense one, but I think we're going to get this done fairly quickly. Follow me. This right here is his skin that it fell off, melted off of him onto the mattress. So when they were taking the body, you'll see skin here. You'll see a concentration of blood right here. Here's a little bit, here's some more skin from him. Right here, this hair looks like it's off of his body. This one, you can definitely tell that he was here for a while and he melted. What happens is he blows with gas and then his skin starts to melt off of his bones. That's what we're having here. This is something that we can kind of help determine how long he sat here before he was discovered. So our main task today is to remove the mattress and then they claim the floor. What the condo association has asked us to do is just focus on the bio and then do a surface cleaning on the floor. So instead of removing the floor all the way to the seam, which is what we do in a typical situation, they just want us to focus on the bio area. So after we focus on disposing of the biohazardous waste that is on the mattress, we're going to pick up, we're going to indicate the floor here where we believe that there is bio matter here. If you look right here, there's a big concentration of what we believe is blood here. He pretty much melted right here. So this is going to be our concentration. Once we figure out what it is, we will carve that out and we are going to treat the subfloor underneath it to the extent that we have to chase the biohazard fluid as far as it goes. But we're going to treat that floor and then we will seal it with a Pills paint on top of it. All right, stay tuned for more. You know I slipped my head. I didn't go to the hospital. What you just saw there was Mario was indicating the mattress because he wants to see if all of this is bio. Sometimes we'll have point where it's bio and it's regular body soil from sweat and oils that are in the mattress that discolorates. This looks like this mattress has been used for a long time. This light yellow discoloration is just from long-term wear and tear on the mattress. This right here, where he's indicating, so he sprayed this whole area and we just have small traces of what is actually bio. We use our indicator to let us know what is considered biohazard. We actually have a new technician with us today. So it is his job to learn how to cut a mattress today. So watch and learn with them. I've put out going that way, I've put out this way. But since we've got here and a little right here, just take the whole thing from this side, just come all the way across. Bio waste is the portion we're cutting out. The rest is just regular, disposed trash. Yep, you want to cut? Are you going to do it? Nah, he got it. I don't know, I'm just saying he already started. Are you good? It's over. So now that we have the main source on the top of the bio removed after I cut it out, then we're going to spray it and indicate again if more bio got trapped up underneath. Can you spray this spot again? Yep. Right there. So we have bio right here. We sprayed this whole area and it didn't really indicate. But we still had a question. So Mario re-indicated this spot and this definitely shows us that there's bio. So we're going to pull this same square, we're going to pull all this cushioning out. So what you do, just pull it. Okay. Now as we do this, we've got to go layer by layer to figure out how deep we've got to go. Like I said, these are metal springs. So that box cutter is not going to work. We're going to have to get snips or dikes to cut them and get us our frame if we indicate. Alright guys, so we just indicated the springs. It did not get through to the springs. So now that we've indicated this mattress, we've cut out what we've seen as bio. Now we're going to dispose of the carcass of the mattress. What is left? This goes down as regular trash. Alright guys, so now the mattress and the box spring have been removed. As you see, we have a blank canvas here, which is the floor in which we are going to indicate to see if there's any bio left on this floor before we do our surface claim. Everywhere. This entire room gets sprayed. That's definitely blood. Yeah, indicated over here by the side of the bed where it was. So the blood probably dripped off the bed off the side of the sheet, probably too late down. Alright, so here we're the side of the bed where it was. We have a big indication right here. This is the only area that indicated. We're going to have to... Everything else in here is just regular waste. So this is the area that we're focused on. We're going to have to remove this and cut up part of the floor so that we can see if they have seeped through the ground. It indicated that blood. Give them the entire surface. We didn't get everything because there's stuff on the floor that needs to be rehydrated so that we can separate it from the floor. This right here is dried to the floor. So without adding some sort of chemical or liquid to it, it won't come up. Without scraping or scarring the floor. We don't want to do that. So what we're going to do is we're going to rehydrate this so that we can get it off the floor. The cracks as much as possible. That's where you see this right here. This is indicating. See this? The white type thing. That still shows indication. We've already done one layer of cleaning and it's still indicating in the cracks. So blood, water, all that stuff, it runs to the seams. This is where it concentrated. So on a lot of the other portions, like over this one, this one is not indicating. But there was a lot of hair and other stuff that was over this. That's probably why it's not here. Not so much right here. I have some indication right here. That really means we've got to go underneath it. Okay. Now fold it and put it in a bio bag. Now pull up the rest of your square using that. So Steve, what are you spraying on the concrete right there? This is just simple green. So we do a surface clean on this area. I just put the simple green on there. I'm going to scrub it. I'm going to vacuum it up again to make it dry. And then we're going to seal it. Steve, can you tell me why we're taping up the square like that? I don't want to damage the floor. I know they're taking it up anyways in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't matter. But we want to provide the most professional service we can. We're trying to tape it down because we paint the way to do it. So another thing that you guys might wonder why is why don't we get a perfect square not like the shape of the bio? We do a perfect square in every situation. We did a square or a rectangle because last thing, a loved one wants to see when they come in here, is us painting the outline of a body. Those days where you guys see the crime scene and the outline of a body. We don't do that. We are here to help make people's house a home Lincoln. So we're going to paint this area a square so they don't know exactly where the bio was. So we have both killed as a spray paint can. It's a sealer. Mario released that mention like the spray can because it feels that it's easier. But as you see, he's having a little bit of trouble because this can isn't all the way full. The LBT as I said, we made it where their maintenance people can come in here for you guys that are watching in YouTube land. Turning it is what apartments condos talk about when they change from one tenant to another tenant. They're turning the apartment. So that's what we're doing is making sure that the maintenance people come in here, restore this apartment so that they can turn it on to the next tenant. Tune in next time.
