A trained biohazard crew. In Wisconsin Dells 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 Wisconsin Dells Police Department and the Columbia 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.

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 Wisconsin Dells home. The source has to come out first, then the area is sealed and the air treated.
