Biohazard & Trauma Cleanup in Madison & Dane County
Biohazard cleanup is the work nobody wants to think about until they have to. We respond with discretion, compassion, and full OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens compliance to trauma scenes, unattended deaths, sewage backups, hoarding remediations, and infectious disease decontaminations across Madison and Dane County.
Our response vehicles are unmarked. Our technicians are trained and PPE-equipped before entering any scene. We coordinate directly with families, property managers, law enforcement, and coroners as needed - and we never leave a scene until decontamination is complete and documented.
This is not work for general restoration crews or cleaning companies. Biohazard remediation requires specific OSHA training, EPA-registered disinfectants, regulated medical waste handling, and adherence to Wisconsin DHS and DNR disposal requirements.
- Trauma & crime-scene cleanup
- Unattended death decontamination
- Sewage backup cleanup
- Infectious disease disinfection
- Hoarding cleanup and remediation
Common Causes
What causes biohazard & trauma cleanup in Madison homes
Unattended deaths
Decomposition produces fluids and pathogens that penetrate flooring, subfloor, and HVAC. Most insurance policies cover biohazard remediation in this category.
Trauma & accident scenes
After law enforcement releases the scene, families need a discreet team to fully restore the affected area.
Suicide cleanup
We respond with the discretion, sensitivity, and thoroughness families deserve during the worst moment of their lives.
Sewage backups
Category 3 black water containing sewage requires biohazard-level cleanup, not standard water mitigation.
Infectious disease decontamination
Including post-COVID, MRSA, C. diff, hepatitis, and other communicable disease environments.
Hoarding situations
Combined biohazard, structural, and pest issues requiring a phased compassionate approach.
Warning Signs
How to tell you have a problem
- Any scene involving blood, bodily fluids, or human remains
- Sewage in a structure
- Confirmed infectious disease exposure
- Hoarding conditions creating health or structural risk
- Strong organic odor without obvious source
What To Do Right Now
Before our crew arrives
- 1
Do not enter or clean
Bloodborne pathogens, decomposition byproducts, and biohazardous waste require PPE and proper handling. Self-cleanup is dangerous and may be illegal under OSHA.
- 2
Limit access
Close off the area and restrict access to anyone without PPE training.
- 3
Call us first if you can
We can guide you through the next steps - including coordination with law enforcement, coroners, or property managers - before you make decisions you can't undo.
How It Works
Our Process
- 1
Compassionate response
Discreet, unmarked vehicles and respectful technicians.
- 2
Assess & contain

- 3
Decontaminate
Hospital-grade disinfection and biohazard waste disposal.
- 4
Restore
Repair or replace affected materials so the space is safe again.
Professional Equipment
The equipment we bring on every job
Consumer-grade tools won't reach professional dry standard or meet industry remediation requirements. Our crews arrive fully equipped from a Madison-based fleet - no waiting on rented gear from out of town.
- Hospital-grade EPA-registered disinfectants (botanical and quaternary)
- ATP testing for verification of decontamination
- Regulated medical waste containers and disposal documentation
- Full PPE including respirators and Tyvek
- HEPA filtration and ozone deodorization
- Specialty enzymes for organic-residue remediation
Standards & Certifications
Held to documented industry standards
Biohazard work follows OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), Wisconsin DNR medical waste regulations, and IICRC S540 for trauma and crime scene cleanup. All technicians complete annual bloodborne pathogens training.
Local & Independent
Why Madison homeowners choose a local restoration team
These calls are urgent and personal. You shouldn't be coordinating remediation with a national call center while you're grieving or in shock. We're local, we answer the phone, and we can be on-site within hours.
We work routinely with Dane County coroners, Madison Police Department, Madison Fire Department, and local property managers and landlords.
Insurance & Pricing
Direct insurance billing - and what to expect on cost
Many homeowner policies cover biohazard remediation under specific perils - particularly unattended deaths, vandalism, and certain accidental losses. Coverage varies; we help you confirm before work begins.
Wisconsin Crime Victim Compensation may cover remediation following certain violent crimes. We help families navigate that paperwork.
Typical project ranges
Biohazard cleanup is highly scope-dependent. Small isolated incidents typically run $1,500-$4,000. Larger or more involved scenes can reach $10,000+. Insurance covers most qualifying losses.
