Is there that kind of money in crime scene cleanup???
Yes. They have to have all kinds of certifications, meet EPA regs, etc. and its mostly insurance paid. Its a lot more involved than "mopping up blood." Think suicides when no one discovered the body for a few weeks, in the summertime, for example.

I don't doubt the validity of his business, but the show was bogus. They didn't buy that house in Lakeshore Estates. They didn't even put an offer in on it.

Sounds like a great example of how one of the easiest ways to wealth is finding an untapped niche and figuring out a way to fill it.
I agree. I did not know that line of work was so lucrative. The guy employs his entire extended family and has 2.5 mil cash to purchase a home with.

Wait, a "reality" show is bogus? Say it ain't so!

True, but you'd expect a real estate show to be somewhat true I guess.

The show indicated that they purchased the house on Lake Pontchartrain.

Why would the cleanup crew do the carpentry work? Clean up, sure. But wouldn't the insurance company want a contractor if they're paying for the repairs?

I know a guy here in OKC that does this. He makes a mint cleaning up houses that were used to cook meth in. He went into detail the amount of work it took to clean these up and make them safe to live in again.
He is flush with cash.
He is flush with cash.

They usually have qualified people that can do all that type of shite. One stop shop.

Yup. I talked to the guy that lives 2 houses down at haloween. He said the same people still live there and its still for sale. No offer ever made. Their kids still carpool for school.

I've talked to people who have worked doing this before. There's a special enzyme they use that basically kills the bacteria and whatever else is floating around. From what this guy told me, the chemical does the majority of the work. Carpet is ripped up and thrown away. The chemical is relatively inexpensive and readily available, but the name of it is closely guarded for fear that the general population will find out how easy the job is and kill profitability.

I will be got damned! You are right. This is definitely the house. I will never watch that piece of crap show again. They actually showed the people taking possession of the house and swimming in the pool with the entire family at the end. That is a sickening misrepresentation.

It's good money but be prepared to be knee deep in shite occasionally. I have been to a few houses where the city sewage backed up in houses at the bottom of a hill. The first couple of houses uphill from the blockage had oil well gushers ceiling high from all the plumbing fixtures except the oil was shite from every house in the hood.

Just handled another where the police used a flash bang then went into the house and shot the kid.
Lovely!

Perhaps the kid was armed and was holding hostages. You know what happens when you assume

You have to have all sorts of GL insurance and tons of hazmat certifications for this business. Plus disposal can cost a lot of money. It's not cheap to get into by any means but once you are in it is very lucrative.

a family friend's husband used to work in the military in that field. He had to quit after cleaning and salvaging a flight that had 20+ kids on it. I can't even imagine
