No crime involved? You still call a crime scene cleanup team
The words sound alarming, but crime scene cleanup is simply what our industry calls hazardous cleaning after a death, an accident or an injury. Most of the time there’s no crime. Police are often the first to arrive, even for a natural death, and that’s a big part of why the term caught on.
Know this: if blood or bodily fluids were left anywhere at your home or business in Franklin, 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

Our services
Death cleanup in Franklin
A death at home is hard enough without a cleanup on top of it. We take that off your hands in Franklin, working room by room, setting belongings aside and asking before anything is thrown away.
We’ve cleaned after deaths in subdivisions, senior communities and business parks across Milwaukee County. Every time, we save what can be saved, explain what can’t, and leave the room safe to walk into.
How we handle it
Our death cleanup follows the same order every time, because skipping a step is how odor comes back. Inspect and document. Contain the room. Remove porous materials that absorbed fluids, like carpet, pad, mattresses and sections of drywall. Clean and disinfect hard surfaces and the structure underneath. Treat lingering odor at the source, not with a fragrance. Seal what needs sealing. Then walk the room with you, or send photos if you’d rather not come in.
Around neighborhoods along 27th Street, many of our death cleanup calls come from adult children handling a parent’s home. We work at your pace.
- Odor treated at the source
- Belongings set aside and cleaned when possible
- Compliant infectious waste disposal
- Photos and documentation for insurance
- Inspection of flooring, subfloor and walls
Crime scene & homicide cleanup
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Franklin
Crime scenes here get a careful first look before anything else. Blood travels farther than people expect, and we find it before we write the scope.
Once the Franklin Police Department releases a scene, we remove blood, spatter, fingerprint powder and anything investigators cut out or left behind. Homicide scenes and assaults get the same careful, documented process.
How we handle it
Homicide and assault scenes need a careful, methodical process, and the IICRC trauma and crime scene standard lays one out: inspect, document, contain, remove, clean, disinfect and confirm the result. That’s how our techs work. We also keep the family’s privacy in mind the whole time. We arrive without fanfare, keep doors closed and keep what we’re doing between us and you. Paperwork for your insurer and victim compensation comes with the job.
Once the Franklin Police Department releases the property, Devonte’s team can usually start right away, and we coordinate timing so you only have to make one call.
- Licensed disposal of infectious waste
- Documentation for insurance and victim compensation
- Damaged doors and windows added to the rebuild

Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Franklin
Biohazards don’t wait. In Franklin we handle blood, bodily fluids, needles and other waste in subdivisions, senior communities and business parks, following bloodborne pathogen rules from start to finish.
Biohazards in subdivisions, senior communities and business parks can hide in seams, grout and padding. We find them with the right tools, clean them properly and dispose of them under state rules.
How we handle it
Drug use and sharps are a common reason landlords call us. Needles can turn up in mattresses, couch cushions, drop ceilings and bathroom cabinets, and they’re dangerous for anyone who handles them without training. We sweep the unit for sharps first, then clean and disinfect every surface that may have been contaminated, and dispose of everything under infectious waste rules.
Devonte’s team brings sharps containers and proper waste packaging to every Franklin job, so nothing is left behind.
- Same-day service when possible
- Blood traced into pad, grout and seams
- Sharps removed into proper containers
- Hospital-grade cleaning and disinfection
- Homes, cars, rentals and workplaces

From our techs
Tips for Franklin residents
Practical advice from the techs who answer Franklin calls.
Senior communities: call early
Staff can call us directly. We’ll coordinate with you and the family.
Tear gas drifts
If tear gas was used next door, it may have come in through windows or vents. Have it checked.
Families: one company
Ask if the cleanup company can also rebuild. It saves you managing two crews.
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Franklin
If the Franklin Police Department used tear gas or pepper spray in a home, the residue can keep irritating eyes and lungs for weeks. We clean every surface, the fabrics and the ducts.
After a police action in Franklin, tear gas and pepper spray residue can make a home unlivable, and fingerprint powder can coat every door. We remove both without spreading them, including from ductwork and fabrics.
How we handle it
Tear gas leaves a fine powder residue that settles on every surface and works its way into carpet, upholstery, clothing, bedding and the HVAC system. Disturb it the wrong way and it becomes airborne again, which is why sweeping or wiping makes it worse. We start by HEPA-vacuuming every surface, then clean with products made for the job, launder or replace fabrics and clean the ductwork and replace filters so the furnace doesn’t keep blowing it around.
If police used tear gas in your home, call before you start airing it out. We’ll tell you what to leave alone.
- HEPA vacuuming of every surface
- Tear gas and pepper spray residue removed
- Fingerprint powder lifted without smearing
- Ductwork cleaned and filters replaced
- Fabrics laundered or replaced
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in Franklin
In subdivisions, senior communities and business parks, a hoarding cleanout can uncover water damage, pests or worse. We handle what we find safely and tell you about it before anything changes in the scope.
A hoarded home in Franklin often hides biohazards, mold or pests. We work room by room at a pace the person can handle, and we offer ongoing assistance after the main cleanout.
How we handle it
Hoarded homes often hide hazards that aren’t visible until the clutter comes out: animal or human waste, sharps, mold, rotted flooring and blocked exits. Our techs wear protective gear, handle biohazards under the same rules as any other biohazard job and tell you about anything new before the scope changes. When the cleanout is done, we clean and disinfect so the home is safe to live in again.
Devonte’s team works with families around neighborhoods along 27th Street at a pace that respects the person living there.
- Room-by-room sorting with the family
- Found-items box for papers and keepsakes
- Biohazards, sharps and pests handled safely
- Trash and damaged items hauled away
- Deep cleaning and disinfection
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in Franklin
We finish what we start in Franklin. After the cleaning, we install new flooring, patch and paint walls, and replace damaged doors or trim so the space is whole again.
Cleanup is only half the job. We finish it in Franklin with the rebuild, so the room is whole again and your insurer sees one clear estimate.
How we handle it
Insurers want to see what came out and why. We photograph every stage, from the damage to the removal to the finished repair, and give the adjuster an itemized estimate. That keeps the claim moving and keeps you from paying for anything up front. If you’d like to upgrade a finish while the room is open, we’ll price that separately so it never muddies the claim.
For Franklin landlords and sellers, we work to your schedule so the unit can be rented or listed again.
- Trim and doors replaced
- Structure sealed before new materials go in
- Finishes matched as closely as possible
- Itemized estimate for your insurer
- Photos at every stage

Local police
We work with Franklin police, not around them
We work and meet with local police in every town we serve, and Franklin is no exception. Our Franklin lead, Devonte, keeps an open line with the Franklin Police Department, so officers know who we are, how we work and that we’re ready when a family needs us.
That relationship matters on your worst day. We never enter a scene until police have released it, we follow any instructions they leave about evidence or access, and if an investigator needs to come back, we work around them.
These links go to official government websites and open in a new tab. We have no paid relationship with any agency.

Paying for cleanup in Franklin

Funeral homes
Working around the funeral in Franklin
Families in Franklin often ask us to have the home ready before the visitation, when relatives start coming by. Others would rather wait until after the service. Either way works. We plan the cleanup around the funeral, not the other way around.
If you’d like, we’ll talk directly with your funeral director about timing, including getting clothing or keepsakes out of the home first so nothing holds up the arrangements.
