Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
It depends on the cause and the property. Insurance is the first place to look. Without it, the owner, the estate or the family usually pays, and in a rental the lease and local law decide. Some cleanup teams offer payment plans.
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
