A respectful scope, with very little said in public

Families in Ashburn and Loudoun County should not have to manage a traumatic property condition alone, and they should not have to read a graphic description to ask for help. This page stays general on purpose. Trauma cleanup means making a released property safe to enter again by removing materials that cannot be cleaned, cleaning what can stay, treating odor, and leaving a simple record of the work. Prime Solutions LLC does not share project details without permission from the responsible party. Neighbors do not need a description of the loss.

How trauma cleanup relates to biohazard cleanup

Biohazard cleanup is the broader service. It includes trauma scenes and also sewage backups, hoarding conditions that involve biological material, and other contamination that regular housekeeping should not take on. Trauma cleanup is the page to use when the reason for the call is a traumatic event or an unattended death and the main need is discretion. The technical care can overlap, including protective equipment and controlled removal of affected materials. The conversation and the schedule are handled differently, around the family, a property manager, or an estate representative.

The property has to be released first

Cleanup does not start while law enforcement, the medical examiner, or another authority still controls the scene. Prime Solutions LLC will not ask a family to enter a property that has not been released, and crews do not begin removal before that clearance. After release, the responsible person can say who may be on site, which rooms are included, and how they prefer to communicate. If keys, alarm codes, or building staff are involved, those details stay in the job file.

What the work typically includes

Step 1 is a private intake: address, who is authorized to approve work, and whether the scene is released. Step 2 is an on-site review focused on which materials are affected, not on retelling events. Step 3 is containment of the work area so the rest of the home is protected. Step 4 is removal and bagging of porous items that cannot be cleaned, following disposal rules that apply to that material. Step 5 is cleaning and disinfection of hard surfaces that can remain. Step 6 is odor treatment and a final walkthrough with the authorized person. Step 7 is a completion note. Independent questions about health symptoms belong with a physician, not with a cleanup crew.

Industry reference, without a certification claim

ANSI/IICRC S540 is the industry reference for trauma and crime-scene cleanup. Prime Solutions LLC uses standards as the description of how this kind of work should be controlled and documented. That is not a statement that a named credential is on file. The certifications page explains the difference between a published standard and a personal or company certification. Affected materials are handled so they are not mixed into ordinary household trash when regulations say otherwise.

What insurance typically covers

There is no single answer. Some policies review trauma or unattended-death cleanup under the cause of the event and the property coverages that apply. Others limit or exclude it. Crime-related events, estates, and landlord policies can each be different. Sewage backup, which is a separate biohazard situation, may require the optional sewer or drain coverage Virginia insurers must offer. Prime Solutions LLC can provide a factual description of the areas cleaned and the materials removed if the authorized person wants that for a claim. The company does not sell insurance, does not act as a public adjuster, and does not promise that a carrier will pay.

When to call, and how the call is handled

Call (703) 832-2773 when a property in Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, Purcellville, Reston, or nearby Northern Virginia needs cleanup after authorities have finished, or when you need to plan that work for the moment of release. You do not need to describe graphic details. Say that the call is about trauma cleanup, give the city, and say whether the property is released. The office is at 42785 Generation Dr, Ste 516, Ashburn, VA 20147. If the situation is sewage or another non-trauma contamination, the biohazard cleanup hub is the better page, and the same phone number reaches the team.

When to call

Call when a home or other property needs to be cleaned after a traumatic event and the authorities have released it, or when you want a plan ready for that release. Call if odor or affected materials remain and you do not want household cleaners or family members to handle them. Stay out of the area until you have guidance. If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services first.

Frequently Asked: Trauma Cleanup

What is trauma cleanup?

It is discreet professional cleanup after a traumatic event or an unattended death, once the property is released. The work removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans what can stay, treats odor, and documents the result for the authorized person.

Do I have to describe what happened?

No. Intake can stay limited to the address, access, whether authorities have released the property, and who may approve the work. You will not be asked to go through graphic details.

Will the crew enter before police or the medical examiner are done?

No. Work starts after the responsible authority releases the property. Planning can happen before that time so the family is not left waiting without a contact.

Is trauma cleanup the same as biohazard cleanup?

Trauma cleanup is the sensitive-event service. Biohazard cleanup also covers sewage, some hoarding conditions, and other contamination. Both rely on controlled handling. Use the biohazard page when the loss is not a trauma scene.

Does insurance pay for trauma cleanup in Virginia?

It depends on the policy and the event. Some claims are reviewed and some are not. Prime Solutions LLC can supply a work record if you authorize it. Only the carrier can confirm coverage. This is not a promise of payment.

Which areas do you serve?

The team is based in Ashburn and serves Leesburg, Sterling, Purcellville, Reston, Herndon, Fairfax, and other Northern Virginia communities on the city pages. Call (703) 832-2773 and the address will be confirmed.

Trauma Cleanup: the facts that matter

Trauma Cleanup is a standards-based restoration discipline — the work is planned, performed, and verified against industry reference documents (ANSI/IICRC S500 for water, S520 for mold, S540 for biohazard), and documented with photos, moisture readings, and dated scope notes. Prime Solutions LLC (Virginia DPOR License #2705191673, valid through February 2027) performs this work across Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and nearby Maryland.

Mold growth can begin within 24 to 48 hours of a water event (EPA guidance) — mitigation should never wait for a claim decision.
Typical residential structural drying runs 3 to 5 days, verified with daily moisture readings.
Standing water starts damaging drywall, trim, and flooring within the first 24 hours.
Clean water left untreated can degrade to a more contaminated category within 48 to 72 hours under industry classification guidance.

DIY cleanup vs professional restoration

Question	DIY	Professional
Is the moisture really gone?	Surface feels dry; wall cavities unknown	Moisture meters and thermal imaging confirm hidden saturation
Will insurance accept the file?	Phone photos, no readings or dated scope	Timestamped photos, readings, scope notes, equipment logs
Contamination handling	Household cleaners on category 2–3 water or mold	Containment, HEPA filtration, documented disposal per S500/S520/S540
When DIY is reasonable	Small clean-water spill caught immediately on hard surfaces	Anything that soaked drywall, flooring, or sat overnight

What happens after you call — 4 steps

Step 1: Intake at +1 (703) 832-2773 — damage type, address, discovery time, photos if safe to take.
Step 2: On-site assessment — every affected room documented with photos and moisture readings before work begins.
Step 3: Mitigation matched to the loss — extraction and drying, cleanup, or containment — tracked daily.
Step 4: Closeout — final readings against the dry standard and the full documentation file handed over for insurance review.
