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 Somers, 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

Our services
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Somers
When the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office hands the property back in Somers, you’ll get a written plan from us within the hour, covering blood, debris, powder and any evidence cut-outs.
Police investigate; they don’t clean. After the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office finishes in Somers, our team handles crime scene and homicide cleanup, and the fingerprint powder and debris that come with it.
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 farm homes, student rentals and new development, contamination often reaches the next room or the next unit. We check shared spaces in Somers as standard.
- Damaged doors and windows added to the rebuild
- Blood and bodily fluid removal
- Evidence cut-outs and debris cleared
- Fingerprint powder removal
- Hallways, stairs and nearby units checked
Suicide cleanup
Suicide cleanup in Somers
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 Somers, 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 Kenosha County Medical Examiner is still involved, we can help you understand the timing so you don’t have to chase phone calls.
- Quiet arrival, no explanations needed
- Blood and fluid removal from every surface
- Walls, ceilings and fixtures checked
- Personal items set aside for the family
- Vehicles and garages included
Death cleanup
Death cleanup in Somers
When someone passes at home in Somers and isn’t found right away, fluids and odor spread into flooring, subfloor and walls. After the Kenosha County Medical Examiner releases the home, we trace how far it went, remove what has to go, and treat the odor at its source.
Unattended deaths in farm homes, student rentals and new development need more than surface cleaning. Once the Kenosha County Medical Examiner has released the property, we evaluate every layer, protect keepsakes and photos, and decontaminate the room so the family can come back in.
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 Somers, we see this most in farm homes, student rentals and new development. Marshall and the team know how these homes are built, which matters when fluids have reached the floor below.
- Containment so odor stays in the room
- 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
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in Somers
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 Somers 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 Somers, we can schedule cleanouts in stages and come back for ongoing assistance visits.
- Found-items box for papers and keepsakes
- Biohazards, sharps and pests handled safely
- Trash and damaged items hauled away

Landlords: photos before and after

Ask what the release means
The medical examiner’s release means you can go back in, not that it’s safe. Let us check first.
Student rentals: check common areas
Look at shared kitchens and bathrooms too, not just the bedroom.
Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Somers
Needles, bodily fluids and drug residue turn up in rentals, cars and outbuildings around Somers. We remove them safely and haul every bit of the waste away.
Falls, injuries, medical emergencies and accidents in Somers 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 Somers, blood and biohazard calls come from homes, cars and workplaces alike. Businesses near the UW-Parkside area often need us after hours.
- Homes, cars, rentals and workplaces
- After-hours work for businesses
- Infectious waste packed and hauled away
- Written record for safety files
- Same-day service when possible
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Somers
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 Somers 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 Somers after break-ins, often before opening time.
- Fabrics laundered or replaced
- Electronics and glass cleaned carefully
- Each room tested before you move back in
- Forced doors and windows repaired
- HEPA vacuuming of every surface
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in Somers
If flooring, subfloor or drywall has to come out, we rebuild it. In Somers you deal with one company, one scope and one insurance claim, from the first call to the finished room.
In farm homes, student rentals and new development, 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 farm homes, student rentals and new development, we match flooring and trim as closely as we can so the repaired room fits the rest of the house.
- Itemized estimate for your insurer
- Photos at every stage
- Final walkthrough with you
- Subfloor and flooring replaced
- Drywall hung, finished and painted

How we work with law enforcement in Somers
Every town we cover, we make a point of meeting the police who work there. In Somers that’s the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Marshall and our crew talk with deputies and supervisors so they know our process before we’re ever called to a scene.
When a deputy hands a family our number, they know we’ll wait for the release, treat the home with respect and keep them posted if anything we find affects their case.
