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

What counts
What counts as a biohazard
In cleanup terms, a biohazard is anything biological that can make people sick: blood and bodily fluids, used needles and other sharps, human and animal waste, and materials contaminated by them. They turn up after medical emergencies, deaths, injuries, drug use, hoarding, sewage problems in occupied spaces and squatters or tenants who left a unit in bad shape.
Each of those needs a slightly different approach, but the principles are the same: protect people, contain the area, remove and package contaminated materials, clean and disinfect what remains and dispose of the waste properly. Wisconsin has specific rules for infectious waste, and we follow them.
Landlords
Biohazards in rental properties
Landlords and property managers are some of our most frequent callers. A unit left with needles, waste or bodily fluids can’t be shown or rented until it’s safe, and staff shouldn’t be asked to handle it. We give you a written scope, clear sharps first, clean and disinfect the unit and document its condition with photos.
Those photos and records help with security deposits, insurance claims and any dispute later on. If the unit needs flooring, drywall or paint afterward, we can rebuild it under the same scope, so you’re dealing with one company from start to finish.
Waste
Where the waste goes
Biohazard waste leaves the property with us. Sharps go into puncture-proof containers. Contaminated materials are bagged and boxed in packaging made for infectious waste and taken for licensed treatment and disposal. Nothing goes in your dumpster or down your drain.
For businesses, we can provide a written record of what was removed and how it was disposed of. That’s useful for safety files, workers’ comp claims and any questions from insurers.

Reviews
What biohazard cleanup customers say
In their own words, from people we’ve helped across southeast Wisconsin. 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.
The technician answered every question I had and never made me feel like I was bothering him. You could tell he understood the importance of doing this work correctly.
From the office staff to the people who came out, everyone was courteous and helpful. They explained what they were doing and treated our home with care.
