Good to know
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 Waukesha, 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

Reviews
What customers near Waukesha say
From families and property owners in nearby towns, in their own words. We never share names or addresses.
Very professional from the first phone call. They answered our questions, explained the cleanup process, and paid attention to details we wouldn't have known to ask about.
Honestly didn't know companies like this existed until we needed one. Everyone we spoke with was helpful, and the technicians were extremely professional.
Our services
Death cleanup in Waukesha
The Waukesha County Medical Examiner handles the first steps after a death at home. From there it’s our job: a careful evaluation, a written scope you approve, removal of what’s contaminated and odor removal that lasts.
The Waukesha County Medical Examiner will tell you when the home is released. From then on, you can hand the room to us: removal, decontamination, odor treatment and, if needed, the rebuild.
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 the Sunset Drive corridor, many of our death cleanup calls come from adult children handling a parent’s home. We work at your pace.
- Removal of carpet, pad and drywall that can't be saved
- Cleaning and disinfection of the structure underneath
- Odor treated at the source
- Belongings set aside and cleaned when possible
- Compliant infectious waste disposal

Crime scene & homicide cleanup
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Waukesha
Crime scenes in Waukesha get a careful first look before anything else. Blood travels farther than people expect, and we find it before we write the scope.
From break-ins to violent crimes, we’ve seen what’s left behind in older homes, apartments and subdivisions. We clean it fully and document it for your insurer and for victim compensation.
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 Waukesha Police Department releases the property, Joshua’s team can usually start right away, and we coordinate timing so you only have to make one call.

Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Waukesha
We clean up tear gas, pepper spray and fingerprint powder here after investigations and police operations, surface by surface, so it doesn’t come back when the furnace runs.
After a police action in Waukesha, 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.
- Electronics and glass cleaned carefully
- Each room tested before you move back in
- Forced doors and windows repaired
- HEPA vacuuming of every surface
- Tear gas and pepper spray residue removed

Tips for Waukesha residents
Practical advice from the techs who answer Waukesha calls.
Don't try store-bought cleaners
Household cleaners can hide blood instead of removing it. Leave it for professionals.
Older buildings, older pipes
In older buildings, fluids can travel along pipes and walls. Have nearby units checked.
Check under the flooring
Blood can seep under laminate and vinyl. Ask us to check before calling it done.
Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Waukesha
From a kitchen fall to an injury on a job site, blood cleanup in Waukesha needs the right protection and disposal. We bring both, plus documentation for insurance or workers’ comp.
Biohazards in older homes, apartments and subdivisions 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.
Joshua’s team brings sharps containers and proper waste packaging to every Waukesha job, so nothing is left behind.
- Written record for safety files
- Same-day service when possible
- Blood traced into pad, grout and seams
- Sharps removed into proper containers
- Hospital-grade cleaning and disinfection
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in Waukesha
When cleanup here means taking out carpet, pad or drywall, our rebuild is already in the plan you approved. No second company, no second claim.
Cleanup is only half the job. We finish it in Waukesha 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 Waukesha landlords and sellers, we work to your schedule so the unit can be rented or listed again.
- Final walkthrough with you
- Subfloor and flooring replaced
- Drywall hung, finished and painted
- Trim and doors replaced
- Structure sealed before new materials go in
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in Waukesha
We’ve helped families in Waukesha County clear homes after years of buildup. We save the photos, papers and treasures and keep the person’s dignity front and center.
A hoarded home in Waukesha 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.
Joshua’s team works with families around the Sunset Drive corridor at a pace that respects the person living there.
- A plan agreed with the homeowner first
- Room-by-room sorting with the family
- Found-items box for papers and keepsakes
- Biohazards, sharps and pests handled safely

Local police
We work with Waukesha police, not around them
We work and meet with local police in every town we serve, and Waukesha is no exception. Our Waukesha lead, Joshua, keeps an open line with the Waukesha 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 it
Paying for cleanup in Waukesha
In Waukesha, as everywhere we work, there’s no money up front. We’ll document the job for your insurer, help with Wisconsin crime victim compensation when it applies, and put anything else in writing before we start.
Funeral homes
Working around the funeral in Waukesha
Families in Waukesha 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.
