A Day in the Life: Trauma Cleanup with Compassion, from Our Team to Communities Across the Province

Mobile trauma cleaning unit responding to a rural BC location for professional biohazard remediation.

At Coquitlam Trauma Cleaning, as a proud member of the BC Trauma Cleaning Group, we’re a company with a big mission: to help people through some of the hardest moments of their lives with compassion, professionalism, and care. Suicide cleanup is one of the most sensitive services we provide, and we travel across British Columbia to support families and property owners when they need us most.

Today, we want to take you through what a real day can look like in this line of work—not for attention, but to shed light on the respectful, behind-the-scenes service we quietly provide across the province.

Morning: A Call from Surrey, BC

Our day often starts early. Just after 7 a.m., a call comes in from Surrey, where a grieving family needs suicide cleanup services after the coroner has left. The caller is overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, and relieved to hear that we’re available—despite being several hours away.

We pack our vehicle with all the necessary tools: PPE, medical-grade disinfectants, specialized cleaning agents, odor neutralizers, and everything we need to handle biohazard remediation safely and respectfully. By late morning, we’re on-site, walking the family through what we’ll do and answering every question with patience and clarity.

This isn’t just about cleaning. It’s about showing up with empathy and allowing the healing process to begin.

Midday: Hitting the Highway Toward Kelowna

After finishing in Surrey, we hit the road again—this time heading toward Kelowna for a scheduled job the next day. We often group our service calls by geography when possible, but trauma cleanup can’t always wait, and we never turn someone away because they’re in a smaller or more remote location.

We’ve responded to calls in Kamloops, Prince George, Cranbrook, Nanaimo, and even Golden, BC. While some larger companies may have offices posted in each region, we’re proud to say that our team serves the entire province—and we do it with heart.

Evening: Back Home, Ready for the Next Call

After a long day and hundreds of kilometers on the road, we head back to head office—reorganizing our gear, logging our safety protocols, and preparing for the next call, wherever it may come from. Sometimes it’s Victoria or Langley. Other times, it’s a small town with no local trauma cleaning service at all. That’s where we come in.

We believe everyone in British Columbia deserves professional, respectful suicide cleanup—no matter how far off the highway they live. We travel because it matters.

Why Suicide Cleanup Should Be Left to Professionals

When a suicide occurs, families are often left not only with grief but also with the difficult and dangerous task of cleaning the scene. Bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, and trauma debris require specialized training and equipment to handle safely. Our team is trained and experienced in biohazard cleanup, trauma scene remediation, and odor control.

But technical expertise is only part of it. What matters just as much is how we show up—with sensitivity, discretion, and zero judgment.
