How Crime Scene Cleanup Works in the Texas Hill Country
Autopsies handled in Austin
The Travis County Medical Examiner's Office lists Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Kendall and Kerr among the counties it serves for a fee. Families in those counties can wait on paperwork and release while the home sits closed in Texas heat. Ask the investigating officer when the scene is released, then call us.
Texas medical waste rules
TCEQ's 30 TAC Chapter 326 reaches anyone who stores, collects, handles, transports or processes medical waste, and anyone who arranges for others to do it by contract. TCEQ guidance RG-001 lists bulk blood and body fluids, sharps and pathological waste as regulated, and treats 100 mL or more in a container as bulk. We package and route that material through licensed channels, never household trash.
Heat carries odor and fluids further
Blood and other fluids move through carpet and pad into slab-level subfloor, baseboards and the bottom of drywall. Closed windows and a running air conditioner push odor through the whole house. We follow the contamination until clean material is reached, then treat the air and the ductwork if needed.
How We Handle Crime Scene Cleanup in Boerne
- You call (830) 644-6886. We talk privately, ask whether the scene has been released and set an arrival time that suits you.
- Technicians arrive in protective gear, in an unmarked vehicle on request, and close off the affected rooms.
- Fluids and soaked materials come out first. Anything that meets the TCEQ definition of regulated medical waste is packaged separately for lawful disposal.
- Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, then checked before we move on.
- We neutralize odor, keep records for your adjuster or property manager, and talk through rebuilding what was removed.

When to Call, and What to Do Before We Arrive
- A person was found after days alone in a closed house
- Blood or fluids remain after an injury or assault
- Law enforcement or the examiner has released the property
- A cluttered home holds waste, droppings or pests
- Needles or drug residue turned up in a rental
- A death odor lingers after the remains are gone
Keep everyone, pets included, out of the room and leave the windows as they are until we advise. Do not scrub, vacuum or pour bleach on stains. When the investigating agency confirms the scene is released, call (830) 644-6886 and we take it from there.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
Scope follows how much fluid there was, how long it sat and which layers it reached. A spot on tile can take an afternoon. Fluid that reached pad, subfloor or drywall means those layers are cut out and replaced.
Many jobs finish in a day or two. Long-undiscovered deaths and heavily cluttered homes take longer because of the odor work, the volume of material and the time families need to sort belongings.
Landlords and property managers receive a written before-and-after record with tenant details kept private. Personal items are set aside for the family, and we ask before discarding anything.
What We Clean and Restore
- Carpet, pad and subfloor
- Walls, trim and baseboards
- Mattresses and upholstered furniture
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Vehicles
- Rental homes and apartments
- Shops, offices and public areas
- Keepsakes and papers returned to the family
