Good to know
“Crime scene cleanup” doesn't always mean a crime
Crime scene cleanup is an industry term. Over the years it has come to cover any hazardous cleaning after a death, injury or accident, and many of the jobs we do don’t involve a crime at all. Even after a natural death, police are often first on the scene, and that’s one of several reasons the name stuck.
Know this: if blood or bodily fluids were left anywhere at your home or business, we can help. We clean it, disinfect it and deodorize it with state-of-the-art odor removal, so the space is safe and livable again.
- Natural and unattended deaths
- Accidents, falls and injuries
- Blood and bodily fluids, cleaned and disinfected
- Odors removed with state-of-the-art deodorizing
- Crime scenes, once police release them
Fast response.
Plenty of cleanup companies take a message and schedule you for tomorrow. We don't. Our techs dispatch from our Racine industrial park location and are usually at your home in 15 to 20 minutes, ready to secure the area and begin.
- Dispatched the moment you call
- Usually with you in 15-20 minutes around Racine
- Precision equipment on the truck, no second trip
- Nothing starts until you approve the scope
Our services
Every kind of cleanup, one trusted team
From the first call to the rebuild, it’s our own trained technicians, our equipment and our plan, approved by you before we start.
Crime scene cleanup
Once police release the scene, we remove every trace of what happened and return the room to you clean, safe and documented.
Death cleanup
Unattended and natural deaths at home. We remove what's affected, decontaminate every layer and clear the odor for good.
Suicide cleanup
Quiet, private and gentle. We take care of the room so nobody in your family has to see it.
Homicide cleanup
Violent crime scenes cleaned with care, including the evidence-related mess left behind after police finish.
Blood cleanup
Blood and bodily fluids after injuries, falls, accidents and medical emergencies, in homes, cars and workplaces.
Biohazard cleanup
Sharps, bodily fluids, drug residue and waste removed and disposed of under Wisconsin and Illinois rules.
Tear gas cleanup
Tear gas, pepper spray and OC residue lifted from walls, fabrics and air ducts after a police action.
Fingerprint powder cleanup
Black, gray and magnetic print powder removed from doors, walls and furniture without spreading it.
Hoarding cleanout
Judgment-free cleanouts and ongoing help, with hidden biohazards handled safely and keepsakes saved.
Rebuild after cleanup
When flooring, drywall or subfloor has to come out, we put the room back together. One company, start to finish.
Business & property cleanup
Rentals, offices, stores, hotels and job sites. Scoped in writing, done after hours when needed.
Not sure what you need?
Tell us what happened. We’ll evaluate it and tell you honestly what’s needed, and what isn’t.
No surprises
Scope first, approval first
Communication is key. Before any work begins, you know exactly what we’ll do and why.
- We evaluate the whole area with precision equipment, not guesswork
- You get the scope of work in writing and approve it before we start
- If we find more (fluids under flooring, a second room), we stop and tell you first
- Photos and notes for your insurer at every stage
- One company from cleanup through rebuild, so nothing falls between contractors

How we got started
We started by helping someone for free
VerdaCrest started with one phone call. Someone needed a biohazard cleanup, couldn’t find anyone affordable, and had nowhere to turn. We did the job for free. Afterward we kept hearing the same thing: people needed this, and the way the industry worked wasn’t built around them. So we built a new way to do crime scene cleanup, where the customer’s needs come first.
That’s still how we work: we listen first, show you the plan, and only start when you say go. It’s why people around Racine keep talking about VerdaCrest.
Your needs come first. Everything else follows.
Reviews
What our customers say
Families, property managers and homeowners from Racine to Kenosha and Milwaukee County, in their own words.
We were completely overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. The cleanup team explained everything before starting and treated our family with respect. They made a very difficult situation easier to manage.
They never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable asking questions. The crew took the time to explain what needed to be done and why. That meant a lot to our family.
What stood out most was how discreet they were. They were respectful of our privacy and focused on getting the work done professionally.
They were calm, organized, and respectful from beginning to end. During an already stressful time, having someone explain the next steps clearly made a big difference.
We needed specialized cleanup at one of the properties we manage. Communication was professional, the scope of work was explained clearly, and the team respected the property throughout.
I appreciated that they didn't ask unnecessary personal questions. They listened to what we needed, explained their work, and treated the situation with dignity.
