Compassionate Services You Can Trust
Crime Scene Cleanup
Crime scenes are places where you need to stay clear of so you don’t disrupt investigative procedures. You also want to protect yourself from exposure to harmful chemicals like tear gas or pepper spray, which are sometimes used by law enforcement to take charge of a situation. It’s also important to avoid any bodily fluids that are left on site.
Trauma Cleanup
Following a trauma incident can be extremely difficult for anyone who’s involved. Whether your property is the site of a homicide, suicide, unattended death, or an accident, we’ll be there to help clean everything up from start to finish.
Bodily Fluids Cleanup
Any death or injury scene can quickly become a danger due to the biological fluids, bacteria, and mold spores. There’s also the risk of coming in contact with blood-borne pathogens, such as HIV and Hepatitis. The best choice for your safety and peace of mind is to leave these scenes to the professionals who will utilize PPE and approved cleaning procedures.
Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations are a delicate matter, and care must be taken throughout the process. Biological hazards are often present, as well as other hazards that can present a serious health risk to those performing cleanup. We offer compassionate, empathetic service and take extra precautions to protect the health of our employees and others in the impacted property.

- Professional odor removal is the permanent elimination of odors caused by smoke, mold, sewage, biohazard, or other sources. Unlike air fresheners or masking sprays, professional odor removal addresses the source of the odor and eliminates it at the molecular level. Ozone treatment works by generating ozone — a molecule with three oxygen atoms — that reacts with and breaks down odor causing compounds on contact. Ozone penetrates into walls, furniture, carpet, and HVAC systems where odors hide. Hydroxyl generators are an alternative that works similarly but is safe to use while occupants are present. Restoration 1 of Horry County uses both ozone and hydroxyl treatment as part of our comprehensive odor elimination process for smoke, mold, sewage, and biohazard situations.
