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 in Caledonia, 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

Caledonia is big and varied: lakefront homes on the bluffs, wooded lots along the Root River, Franksville, and farm property to the west. Long driveways, private wells and septic systems are common out here, and we account for all of it when we scope a job.
We work in Franksville, the Lake Michigan bluffs and the Root River corridor, and every neighborhood around them. Calls here are handled by Devonte, who leads our Racine team (and Franklin). From our Racine base, most addresses get a tech at the door in 15 to 20 minutes.

Answering the call
What Caledonia callers needed, and how we answered
The kinds of situations families and businesses in Caledonia call us about, and how our team handles them. We never share details of a real family’s job.
A family on a rural lot has a death in a detached garage and wants it handled privately.
We park near the garage, out of view from the road, and work to finish in one visit.
A homeowner on well and septic worries about what cleaning will do to the system.
We explain exactly how we contain and haul away waste, so nothing biohazardous goes down the drain.
A family finds a hoarded home after a parent moves to assisted living, with papers they need buried in it.
We clear it room by room, set aside every bank statement, title and photo, and check with the family before anything leaves.
Reviews
What Caledonia customers say
In their own words, from people we’ve helped. We never share names or addresses.
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.
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.
Our services
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Caledonia
Once the Caledonia 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.
Crime scenes in Caledonia get a careful first look before anything else. Blood travels farther than people expect, and we find it before we write the scope.
How we handle it
Victims and families often don’t know they can get help paying for this. In Wisconsin, the Crime Victim Compensation program lists coverage for securing and cleaning a crime scene, and Illinois has its own program through the Attorney General. Your homeowners or renters policy may also apply. We document the job in the way those programs and insurers ask for, and we wait on payment while claims are processed.
In lakefront homes, wooded lots and rural properties, contamination often reaches the next room or the next unit. We check shared spaces in Caledonia as standard.
- Hallways, stairs and nearby units checked
- Bloodborne pathogen safety on every step
- Licensed disposal of infectious waste
- Documentation for insurance and victim compensation
- Damaged doors and windows added to the rebuild
Suicide cleanup
Suicide cleanup in Caledonia
After a suicide here, we take care of the room, the vehicle or the garage with compassion. We’ll explain the plan gently and keep everything private.
For families in Caledonia, the hardest part is often the waiting. We come quickly once the scene is released, and we handle the room so you can focus on each other.
How we handle it
Landlords and property managers call us after a tenant’s suicide, too. We clean and restore the unit, check the shared walls, floors and ventilation for anything that reached a neighboring space, and give you documentation for the insurer and your records. We also understand that the tenant’s family may be involved in the property, and we treat them with the same respect we’d want for our own.
If the Racine County Medical Examiner in Sturtevant is still involved, we can help you understand the timing so you don’t have to chase phone calls.
- Vehicles and garages included
- Deodorizing and disinfection
- Insurance documentation filed for you
- Local grief resources if you want them
- Quiet arrival, no explanations needed
Death cleanup
Death cleanup in Caledonia
The Racine County Medical Examiner in Sturtevant 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.
A death at home is hard enough without a cleanup on top of it. We take that off your hands in Caledonia, working room by room, setting belongings aside and asking before anything is thrown away.
How we handle it
Families usually ask two things: can anything be saved, and will the smell come back. Often more can be saved than people expect. Hard furniture, keepsakes, photos and papers can usually be cleaned. Soft materials that absorbed fluids usually can’t. As for odor, it only comes back when the source is left behind, which is why we follow contamination into the subfloor and wall cavities and remove it there. When we leave, the room is clean, disinfected and ready for repairs or a rebuild.
In Caledonia, we see this most in lakefront homes, wooded lots and rural properties. Devonte and the team know how these homes are built, which matters when fluids have reached the floor below.
- Belongings set aside and cleaned when possible
- Compliant infectious waste disposal
- Photos and documentation for insurance
- Inspection of flooring, subfloor and walls
- Containment so odor stays in the room
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in Caledonia
Hoarding situations here often start with a worried family member. We meet you there, walk through together and make a plan the person can live with.
Whether it’s a parent’s home or a rental, our hoarding cleanout in Caledonia is careful and kind: sorting with the family, removing waste safely and cleaning so the home is livable again.
How we handle it
We go at a pace the person can handle. Some cleanouts happen in a few days; some go better in stages over a few weeks. Either way, no one is shamed, and nothing is thrown out behind their back. We also offer ongoing assistance after the main cleanout, with scheduled visits that help keep the home safe and livable, which is often the difference between a one-time fix and a lasting one.
In Caledonia, we can schedule cleanouts in stages and come back for ongoing assistance visits.
- Ongoing assistance visits
- Floor and wall repairs if needed
- A plan agreed with the homeowner first
- Room-by-room sorting with the family
- Found-items box for papers and keepsakes

From our techs
Tips for Caledonia residents
Practical advice from the techs who answer Caledonia calls.
Don't use the drains
On a well and septic system, never wash biohazards down the drain. Leave it for us to contain and haul away.
Outbuildings count too
Garages and sheds can be covered under your homeowners policy. Mention them to your insurer.
Make a 'save' pile list
Before a cleanout, write down what you’re looking for: wills, titles, photos. We’ll set them aside.
Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Caledonia
Needles, bodily fluids and drug residue turn up in rentals, cars and outbuildings around Caledonia. We remove them safely and haul every bit of the waste away.
Falls, injuries, medical emergencies and accidents in Caledonia can leave blood where you can’t see it: in grout, carpet pad, upholstery and car seats. We find it, clean it and dispose of it the compliant way.
How we handle it
Blood is harder to remove than it looks. It wicks into carpet pad, grout lines, upholstery and the seams of vinyl and laminate, and a surface that looks clean can still be contaminated underneath. We find it, remove what can’t be restored, then clean and disinfect with hospital-grade products. All of it is handled under bloodborne pathogen safety rules, packaged as infectious waste and hauled away for licensed disposal.
In Caledonia, blood and biohazard calls come from homes, cars and workplaces alike. Businesses near Franksville often need us after hours.
- 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
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Caledonia
After a police operation here, we can clean both the gas residue and the print powder in one visit, and fix broken doors or windows as part of the rebuild.
Tear gas residue settles into carpet, curtains and air ducts, and fingerprint powder smears if you wipe it. Our techs clean both properly in Caledonia so you can move back in.
How we handle it
Fingerprint powder is fine carbon or metallic dust, and it smears into a gray film if you wipe it with a damp rag. Investigators may also use chemical processes that leave a residue on glass and other surfaces. We remove powder with dry methods first, then clean surface by surface: doors, frames, glass, counters, cabinets and electronics. Painted trim and grout get extra care so they don’t stain.
We clean fingerprint powder for homes and businesses in Caledonia after break-ins, often before opening time.
- 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
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in Caledonia
If flooring, subfloor or drywall has to come out, we rebuild it. In Caledonia you deal with one company, one scope and one insurance claim, from the first call to the finished room.
In lakefront homes, wooded lots and rural properties, removing a section of subfloor or drywall is common after a serious cleanup. We put it back, match it as closely as we can, and walk the finished room with you.
How we handle it
For landlords and sellers, the rebuild is what turns a cleanup into a unit that can be rented or listed again. We work to a schedule, keep you updated and finish with a walkthrough. For families, it’s what lets a room be used again. Either way, you won’t be left with bare studs and a phone number for someone else.
In lakefront homes, wooded lots and rural properties, we match flooring and trim as closely as we can so the repaired room fits the rest of the house.
- Drywall hung, finished and painted
- Trim and doors replaced
- Structure sealed before new materials go in
- Finishes matched as closely as possible
- Itemized estimate for your insurer
