| The Rock County Medical Examiner | Takes care of the person who died, investigates and tells the family when the home is released. | Doesn't clean, remove stains or remove odor. |

Our services
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Evansville
Crime scene cleanup in Evansville means more than wiping what you can see. We follow the contamination into seams, baseboards and the next room, and we document every step for your insurer.
If investigators may need to come back, tell us. We work around them, and we can photograph and set aside anything they ask us to keep.
How we handle it
Investigators sometimes cut out carpet or drywall, spray chemicals or leave print powder everywhere. We clean all of it and add any damaged doors, windows or drywall to the rebuild so you aren’t left with holes.
Once the Evansville Police Department releases the property, Joe can usually start right away, and we handle the timing so you only make one call.
- Evidence cut-outs and debris cleared
- Fingerprint powder lifted
- Hallways, stairs and nearby units checked
- OSHA bloodborne pathogen safety
- Licensed infectious waste disposal
Unattended death cleanup
Unattended death cleanup in Evansville
Nobody in Evansville 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.
If you live out of town, you don’t have to come back for this. We walk the home on a video call, send the written scope and send photos when it’s done.
How we handle it
Every death cleanup gets a written scope before we start. It lists what comes out, what gets cleaned and what it costs. You approve it, and if we find fluids reached somewhere new, like the ceiling below or the next room, we stop and call you before we do anything about it.
Around farms toward Brooklyn, many death cleanup calls come from adult children handling a parent’s home. We work at your pace.
- 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
- Licensed biohazard waste disposal
Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Evansville
A household cleaner and a mop can’t reach what soaked in. For blood and biohazard cleanup in Evansville, we take out what has to go and disinfect what stays.
Sharps go into rigid containers, soiled materials into labeled biohazard bags, and the waste goes to a licensed facility. You get the paperwork.
How we handle it
Blood and bodily fluids are handled as regulated waste under OSHA’s bloodborne pathogen rule and Wisconsin infectious waste rules. That means protective gear, safe handling, sealed packaging and a licensed disposal facility.
Joe brings sharps containers and proper waste packaging to every Evansville job, so nothing is left behind.
- Homes, cars, rentals and workplaces
- After-hours work for businesses
- Waste manifested to a licensed facility
- Written record for safety files
- Same-day service when possible
Suicide cleanup
Suicide cleanup in Evansville
There’s no right way to handle a suicide in the family. There is a right way to clean up after one, and in Evansville that’s our job, not yours.
If you’d like, we’ll share local survivor support groups and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which is open to anyone who is grieving.
How we handle it
We keep everything private. No signs, no talk with neighbors and no details shared with anyone but the person who hired us.
Joe handles suicide cleanup in Evansville with the same quiet care every time, whether it’s a home near farms toward Brooklyn or a car in a garage.
- Cars and garages included
- Disinfection and deodorizing
- Insurance claim filed for you
- Local grief resources if you want them

Tips for Evansville families and property owners
Practical advice from the techs who answer Evansville calls.
Protect Victorian finishes
Tell us about original floors and plaster. We work around them.
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in Evansville
Hoarding cleanouts in Evansville start with a conversation, not a dumpster. We agree on what stays, what goes and how fast, with the person and the family.
If you live out of town, we send photo updates as each room is cleared, so you know exactly where things stand.
How we handle it
Biohazards are common in hoarded homes: animal waste, spoiled food, sharps and sometimes a death that went unnoticed. We handle all of it with protective gear and proper disposal.
Joe works with families around farms toward Brooklyn at a pace that respects the person living there.
- Deep cleaning and disinfection
- Photo updates if you're out of town
- Follow-up visits available
- Plan agreed with the family first
- Room-by-room sorting
Death odor removal
Death odor removal in Evansville
If a smell in Evansville is coming from a death, an animal or a long-closed room, sprays and candles won’t touch it. We find the source and remove it.
Forced-air systems spread odor through the whole house. We check the returns and ducts, and we replace filters as part of the job.
How we handle it
We use professional deodorization: thermal fogging for porous surfaces, hydroxyl generators that can run while people are nearby, and ozone only in empty spaces where it’s safe. Each has its place, and we pick the right one for the job.
In Victorian homes and farmhouses, odor often travels through floor vents and wall cavities. We check them on every Evansville job.
- Final room-by-room check
- We come back if odor remains
- Source found and removed
- Subfloor and framing sealed
- Thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in Evansville
Cleanup is half the job. In Evansville, we rebuild what we removed, match it to the rest of the house as closely as we can and walk the finished room with you.
The rebuild is scheduled into the plan you already approved, so there’s no second company and no second claim.
How we handle it
Our rebuild is part of the same plan you approved for cleanup. We seal the structure, then replace subfloor, flooring, drywall, trim and paint, and match finishes as closely as we can.
In Victorian homes and farmhouses, we match flooring and trim as closely as we can, so the repaired room fits the rest of the house.
- Final walkthrough with you
- Structure sealed before new materials
- Subfloor and flooring replaced
- Drywall hung, finished and painted
- Trim and doors replaced
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Evansville
Tear gas settles everywhere air moves. In Evansville homes, we clean every surface, the soft goods and the furnace system so it doesn’t come back when the heat runs.
Insurance often covers tear gas cleanup after a police action. We document the damage and handle the claim paperwork.
How we handle it
We check rooms before you move back in. If anyone still feels irritation, we come back and clean again.
Forced-air systems spread tear gas fast, so we clean the ducts in every Evansville home where it was used.
- 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
We come now in Evansville.

- 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

Local police
We work with Evansville police, not around them
Police secure the scene and investigate. They don’t clean, and they won’t push one company over another. What they need is a cleanup crew that waits for the release and follows their instructions. In Evansville, that’s how Joe and our crew work with the Evansville Police Department.
We never enter a scene until it has been released, we leave alone any area investigators ask us to, and if a detective needs to come back, we work around them.
These links go to official government websites and open in a new tab. We have no paid relationship with any agency.

Paying for it
Paying for cleanup in Evansville: will insurance cover it?
Paying for cleanup in Evansville is something we sort out with you, after we’ve helped. Most of the time a homeowners, renters, landlord or business policy covers it.
Insurance often pays for this.
- Usually paid by your homeowners policy. Sudden events like a death, crime or injury are often covered.
- Nothing is due up front. We bill the insurer directly where the policy allows.
A general guide, not a coverage decision. Your policy decides, and we check it with you before we start.
Funeral homes
Working around the funeral in Evansville
Families in Evansville often want the home ready before the visitation, when relatives start stopping by. Others would rather wait until after the service. Both work. We plan the cleanup around the funeral, not the other way around.
If you’d like, we’ll talk with your funeral director about timing, including getting clothing, photos or keepsakes out of the home first so nothing holds up the arrangements.

FAQ
Who to call in Evansville, and other questions
Straight answers to what Evansville families ask us, and what people ask search engines and AI assistants about cleanup in Evansville. Call 608-974-1788 any time.
MadTown Biohazard Crime Scene Cleanup, at 608-974-1788. Joe covers Evansville 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 Rock County Medical Examiner or the funeral home. In Evansville, families call MadTown Biohazard at 608-974-1788 once the Rock County Medical Examiner releases the home.
A trained biohazard crew. In Evansville 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 Evansville Police Department and the Rock 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 Evansville.
Call 911. The Evansville Police Department and the Rock 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 Evansville, Joe, 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 Evansville 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 Rock 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.
We do, at the person’s pace. Safety comes first: a working kitchen, a clear way out and no hidden biohazards. Rock County’s aging and disability resource center can help the family too.
MadTown Biohazard cleans cars, trucks and squad cars in Evansville, at your home, a tow yard or a body shop. Seats, carpet and vents get cleaned and disinfected, with photos for the auto insurer.
Not from us. We work discreetly, keep the door closed and never share photos or details of a job in Evansville.
Yes. If flooring, subfloor or drywall has to come out, we rebuild it under the same plan, so you deal with one company from the first call to the finished room.
Right after police or the Rock County Medical Examiner release the property, any hour. We’ll tell you who is coming and when before you hang up.
Help is still available. We walk you through Wisconsin crime victim compensation when a crime was involved, and we give you the scope and price in writing before any work begins.
Yes. We wait for the Evansville Police Department to release the scene, follow any instructions officers leave and keep a line open if investigators need to come back.
Yes, and it’s a common request. We’ll have the home cleaned before family gathers, or come after the service if that’s easier.
Yes. We can talk through the plan, the insurance and the paperwork in Spanish. Sí. Ofrecemos ayuda en español. Llámenos al 608-974-1788.
