What does apartment blood cleanup cover?
Apartment blood cleanup is the professional removal of blood and bodily fluids from a rental unit after an injury, death or crime. It includes cleaning and disinfecting affected surfaces, removing carpet, pad or drywall that cannot be saved, checking shared walls and floors, and providing records a landlord or manager can keep on file.
Your responsibility does not end at the door
In a rental, the people affected go beyond the person who lived there. A family may be grieving and need time to collect belongings. Neighbors share walls, floors and ventilation. Your maintenance team may be willing to help, but blood cleanup is not part of their training or their job.
We give you a clear plan and a single point of contact. We work with the family to set aside personal items before anything is removed, keep our work quiet in hallways and common areas, and provide the photos and itemized records you need for your owner, your insurer or your files.
Situations property managers call us about
- A tenant was injured in their unit and blood was left behind
- A resident died and was not found right away
- Police released a unit after an assault or shooting
- Blood in a stairwell, breezeway, elevator or laundry room
- A unit turned over with staining that looks like blood
- Fluid seeped from one unit into the ceiling or floor of another
Why a standard turnover clean is not enough
Paint and new carpet can hide a problem without solving it.
Shared building systems
Fluids can travel through subflooring and along joists toward neighboring units, which can bring complaints later.
Staff safety
Asking maintenance staff to clean blood without training and protective gear exposes them to bloodborne pathogens.
Returning odor
Blood left under flooring or behind baseboards can bring odor back after a new tenant moves in.
Records you may need
Without professional documentation, it is harder to support an insurance claim or show the unit was properly restored.

Rental property blood cleanup in Nashville and nearby counties
Nashville's rental market runs from older duplexes in East Nashville to large complexes in Antioch, Smyrna and La Vergne. Whatever the size of the property, a serious incident in a unit puts the owner in a hard spot between the family, the neighbors and the next lease.
Landlord and commercial property policies often cover this kind of cleanup. We provide the photos and itemized report your adjuster will want, and we can speak with them directly if that helps.
Our vans are unmarked and our crew arrives in plain clothes, so other residents are not alarmed. We never discuss the job with neighbors, and we keep our work in common areas as brief as possible.

Landlord and property manager questions
Practical answers for people responsible for rental property. More on our questions page.
Talk with us nowWho is responsible for cleaning a unit after a tenant dies?
In most cases the property owner is responsible for restoring the unit. The family usually handles belongings. We can coordinate with both.
Does landlord insurance cover blood cleanup?
Landlord and commercial policies often do. We provide documentation for your adjuster and can talk with them directly.
Can the family get belongings out first?
Yes. We can work with the family to set aside or clean personal items before anything is removed from the unit.
Will other residents notice?
We arrive in unmarked vans and plain clothes and keep our time in shared spaces short. We never discuss the job with residents.
Can my maintenance team do this instead?
We do not recommend it. Blood cleanup requires bloodborne pathogen training, full protective gear and regulated waste disposal.
Do we need an account or contract with you?
No. You call when you need us, and you are billed per incident.
