A request can cover a house, apartment, business, or vehicle in Flint and those nearby communities. Matching does not mean a truck is stationed in Flint.

In Genesee County, death investigations are handled through the medical examiner system. Families are usually contacted by that office or by police when a Flint property can be entered. We are not the medical examiner and are not law enforcement. A referral starts only after the scene is released.

Until that release, do not enter to clean, do not throw belongings away, and do not post images of the scene. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988.

Heat and humidity speed odor in a closed Flint home. Cold slows what you can see.

Flint housing includes older wood houses, brick downtown blocks, and mid-century homes. We do not give legal advice about who is responsible. After a scene is released, the person who controls the property usually requests the referral. That is often the owner or the manager for a rental, and a family member when the household still controls the home. A tenant should not be expected to wipe blood or decomposition residue. Neither one is a reason for the family to do the cleanup.

A former lab in Flint is a different referral from blood cleanup. The partner follows health-department direction and can provide a clearance or completion report from the cleanup company.

An independent partner that accepts a Flint referral typically contains the area, removes porous materials it is prepared to take, disinfects what can stay, and arranges disposal through its own channels. Odor work comes after the source is gone. That company does the work and sends its own invoice. We are not paid by the customer. There is no local office in Genesee County.
