Our services
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Mount Horeb
After a crime in Mount Horeb, police finish their work and leave. The blood, the broken glass and the fingerprint powder stay behind. That’s where we come in.
We check hallways, stairwells, door frames and neighboring units. In shared buildings, one scene can easily touch three spaces.
How we handle it
Our crime scene work follows the IICRC S540 standard for trauma and crime scene cleanup: assess, document, contain, remove, clean, disinfect and verify. Techs wear full protective gear, and everything contaminated is bagged, boxed and taken to a licensed facility.
In older village homes and country properties, contamination often reaches the next room or the next unit. We check shared spaces in Mount Horeb every time.
- Damaged doors and drywall added to the rebuild
- Blood and tissue removal
- Evidence cut-outs and debris cleared
- Fingerprint powder lifted
- Hallways, stairs and nearby units checked
Suicide cleanup
Suicide cleanup in Mount Horeb
Suicide cleanup in Mount Horeb is done gently, privately and completely. You don’t have to be there, you don’t have to explain anything to the neighbors and you don’t have to call the insurer yourself.
Many insurance policies cover suicide cleanup. We handle the claim directly so you never have to describe what happened to an adjuster.
How we handle it
A firearm death leaves contamination in places most people never think to look: the ceiling, the tops of door frames, light fixtures, vents and the back of furniture. We check them all and clean them properly.
If the Dane County Medical Examiner is still involved, we can help you understand the timing so you don’t have to chase phone calls.
- Quiet, low-key arrival
- Blood and fluid removal from every surface
- Ceilings, fixtures and vents checked
- Personal items set aside for the family
- Cars and garages included
Unattended death cleanup
Unattended death cleanup in Mount Horeb
Nobody in Mount Horeb should have to scrub a floor after losing someone. Our techs remove what was affected, decontaminate the structure underneath and end the odor, while you take care of everything else.
We set aside photos, papers, jewelry and anything else that might matter, and we ask before any personal item is thrown away.
How we handle it
Older homes and apartment buildings each bring their own problems. In an old house, fluids can reach plank subfloor and the joists. In an apartment, they can reach the unit below. We check both before we write the plan.
In Mount Horeb, we see this most in older village homes and country properties. Gabby knows how these homes are built, which matters once fluids have reached the floor below.
- Containment to protect the rest of the house
- Removal of carpet, pad and drywall that can't be saved
- Subfloor cleaned, disinfected and sealed
- Odor treated at the source
- Belongings set aside and cleaned when possible
Death odor removal
Death odor removal in Mount Horeb
Families in Mount Horeb often call us because the odor stayed after someone else cleaned. That usually means the source is still there, and we go find it.
Ozone and hydroxyl machines help, but only after the source is gone. Covering odor with fragrance is the reason it comes back.
How we handle it
When the job is done, we do a final check of every room. If any odor remains, we keep working until it’s gone.
Gabby has cleared odor from homes all around downtown on Main Street. If someone else already tried, we’ll find what they missed.
- Thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment
- Ducts and returns cleaned
- Filters replaced
- Soft goods cleaned or removed
- Final room-by-room check

Sharps, animal waste, spoiled food and mold are handled as biohazards, with protective gear and proper disposal.
How we handle it
Every cleanout starts with a plan agreed with the person who lives there, when that’s possible, and with the family. We decide together what stays, what goes and what gets a closer look.
In Mount Horeb, we can schedule cleanouts in stages and come back for follow-up visits.

OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen rules aren’t optional for us. Protective gear, safe handling and proper disposal are part of every job.
How we handle it
For workplaces, we section off only the affected area, clean around shifts and leave a written record for the safety file. For homes, we work room by room and tell you exactly what we did.

Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Mount Horeb

Electronics, glass and finished wood need gentle cleaning. We take care with them and tell you if anything can’t be saved.
How we handle it
Soft goods like clothing, bedding and curtains are laundered or replaced. Electronics are wiped carefully. Food in open containers is thrown out.

We match finishes as closely as we can, so the repaired room fits the rest of the house.
How we handle it
We photograph each stage of the rebuild and walk the finished room with you before we call it done.

- Photos at every stage
- Final walkthrough with you
- Structure sealed before new materials
- Subfloor and flooring replaced
- Drywall hung, finished and painted
Under the floor
Why Mount Horeb floors need more than scrubbing
Blood and fluids from a death or a serious injury move down through carpet and pad into the subfloor, and in older Mount Horeb homes with plank floors, into the ceiling of the room below. Scrubbing reaches only the top layer, which is why the smell comes back on the first warm day.
We come now in Mount Horeb.
A lot of cleanup companies take a message and call you back tomorrow. We don't. The tech who covers in Mount Horeb lives nearby and starts driving while you're still on the phone, with the equipment already on the truck.
- A real person answers, any hour
- The closest local tech heads out right away
- Equipment on the truck, no second trip
- Nothing starts until you approve the plan

MadTown Biohazard Crime Scene Cleanup, at 608-974-1788. Gabby covers Mount Horeb for us, and the whole crew comes in on big jobs. We answer any hour, and nothing is due up front.
A biohazard cleanup company does, not the police, the Dane County Medical Examiner or the funeral home. In Mount Horeb, families call MadTown Biohazard at 608-974-1788 once the Dane County Medical Examiner releases the home.
A trained biohazard crew. In Mount Horeb that’s MadTown Biohazard at 608-974-1788. We find the blood and fluid that’s easy to miss, disinfect everything and keep the whole job private.
No. The Mount Horeb Police Department and the Dane County Medical Examiner investigate and release the home, but they don’t clean it. That’s left to the family or property owner, and it’s the work a biohazard cleanup company like ours does.
No, that isn’t part of a funeral home’s work. They take care of your loved one. We take care of the home, and we can work around your funeral plans in Mount Horeb.
Call 911. The Mount Horeb Police Department and the Dane County Medical Examiner will come, and nothing should be moved or cleaned until they release the home. After that, close off the room, turn off the furnace or AC fan to it if you can, and call us at 608-974-1788.
Yes. We pick up any hour at 608-974-1788, and the tech who covers Mount Horeb, Gabby, heads out once the property is released.
Usually insurance. Homeowners, renters, landlord and business policies often cover cleanup after a death, crime or accident, and we bill the insurer directly. If a crime was involved, Wisconsin crime victim compensation can help too. Nothing is due up front.
There’s no flat price, because no two scenes are alike. We walk through, write up the scope and price, and you approve it before any work starts. Insurance often covers most or all of it. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.
It isn’t a good idea. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and C, and fluid usually soaks deeper than you can see. A small spot on tile is one thing. Carpet, a mattress or a subfloor is a job for a trained crew.
We do. Air fresheners and carpet shampoo won’t fix death odor in a Mount Horeb home. The source has to come out first, then the area is sealed and the air treated.
Call 911 first, then MadTown Biohazard at 608-974-1788 once the Dane County Medical Examiner releases the unit. We clean the unit, check the units beside and below, set belongings aside for the estate and document everything for your insurer.
