When a traumatic event occurs—whether it’s an unattended death, suicide, medical emergency, or serious injury—the aftermath can feel overwhelming. These situations require far more than cleaning. They require compassion, discretion, and specialized training to restore safety to a space that has been deeply impacted.

At Rush Relief Restoration, we provide professional biohazard and trauma cleanup throughout Redding, Anderson, Red Bluff, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, Palo Cedro, and surrounding Northern California communities. Our goal is simple: to bring calm, safety, and dignity back into a space when people need it most.

Why Trauma Cleanup Requires a Professional Team

Trauma scenes often involve dangerous contaminants such as blood, bodily fluids, and other biohazards. These materials can carry pathogens that pose serious health risks—and standard cleaning products aren’t enough to properly disinfect or remove them.

Professional cleanup isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Biohazard cleanup is heavily regulated, and our team follows all OSHA, EPA, and state guidelines to ensure your home or property is restored to the highest safety standards.

A Compassionate, Quiet Approach

We know that trauma affects more than the physical environment—it affects the people connected to it. Our team enters each situation with:

  • Zero judgment

  • Respect for privacy

  • Soft communication and clear explanations

  • Support for families navigating grief, shock, or uncertainty

We work discreetly, arriving in unmarked vehicles when requested, and communicate with insurance carriers to reduce stress during an already painful time.

Working With Insurance

Most trauma and biohazard cleanup services are covered under homeowners, rental, or commercial property insurance. We assist by:

  • Taking detailed photos and documentation

  • Communicating directly with adjusters

  • Providing clear scope of work and itemized estimates

  • Helping families understand their coverage and next steps

Our goal is to remove as much burden from you as possible.

Making a Space Safe Again

Trauma cleanup isn’t just about removing what’s visible. It’s about ensuring the entire property is free from pathogens, odors, and emotional triggers that can remain long after the event.

We use industry-standard remediation techniques to ensure:

  • Full disinfection

  • Odor neutralization (not masking)

  • Removal of contaminated materials

  • Deep cleaning of all affected surfaces and belongings

When we leave, the space will be safe, sanitized, and ready for use again.

You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone

If you’re facing a trauma or biohazard situation, please know you don’t need to handle it yourself. These moments are painful, and cleaning them alone can be both dangerous and emotionally damaging.

Rush Relief Restoration is here to walk beside you—quietly, respectfully, and with the expertise needed to make the space whole again.
