Our services
Unattended death cleanup in New Glarus
A natural death is still a hazardous cleanup when time has passed. In New Glarus, we come in after the Green County Coroner releases the home and return the room to a safe, clean, odor-free space.
Fluids move down. They soak carpet and pad, slip through seams in vinyl and hardwood and settle into the subfloor. That’s why the stain you see is never the whole job.
How we handle it
We work in a set order because skipping a step is how odor comes back. First a walkthrough with moisture meters and a careful look under flooring and behind trim. Then containment, so the rest of the house stays clean. Then removal of carpet, pad, mattress, drywall and subfloor that absorbed fluids. The structure underneath is cleaned, disinfected and sealed. Last, we deodorize, test the surfaces and walk the room with you or send photos.
Around the Sugar River trail, many death cleanup calls come from adult children handling a parent’s home. We work at your pace.
- Odor treated at the source
- Belongings set aside and cleaned when possible
- Licensed biohazard waste disposal
- Photos and paperwork for insurance
- Walkthrough with moisture meters
Crime scene & homicide cleanup
Crime scene & homicide cleanup in New Glarus
After a crime in New Glarus, police finish their work and leave. The blood, the broken glass and the fingerprint powder stay behind. That’s where we come in.
Blood and tissue are infectious waste under Wisconsin rules. They leave the property with us, packaged and manifested, never in a household trash can.
How we handle it
We start with the obvious areas and then widen the search: the walls and ceiling near the scene, the underside of furniture, the gaps between floorboards, door handles, light switches and anything people touched afterward. Blood travels on shoes, so hallways and stairs get checked too.
Once the New Glarus Police Department releases the property, Joe can usually start right away, and we handle the timing so you only make one call.
- Licensed infectious waste disposal
- Photo record for insurance and victim compensation
- Damaged doors and drywall added to the rebuild
- Blood and tissue removal
- Evidence cut-outs and debris cleared
Suicide cleanup
Suicide cleanup in New Glarus
Suicide cleanup in New Glarus 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.
Mattresses, bedding and upholstery usually can’t be saved. Tile, hardwood, concrete and many hard surfaces can, and we clean and disinfect them thoroughly.
How we handle it
Vehicles, garages and outdoor spaces need a different approach than a bedroom. Car interiors can sometimes be restored, and concrete can be cleaned and sealed. We explain what’s possible before we start.
Joe handles suicide cleanup in New Glarus with the same quiet care every time, whether it’s a home near the Sugar River trail or a car in a garage.
- Insurance claim filed for you
- Local grief resources if you want them
- Quiet, low-key arrival
- Blood and fluid removal from every surface
- Ceilings, fixtures and vents checked
Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in New Glarus
Blood can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. In New Glarus, we clean it with full protective gear, hospital-grade disinfectant and licensed waste disposal.
We work after hours for businesses, so a store, an office or a restaurant can open the next morning as usual.
How we handle it
Needles and sharps go into rigid sharps containers. Animal waste, feces and vomit get the same careful handling as blood, because they can carry disease too.
Joe brings sharps containers and proper waste packaging to every New Glarus job, so nothing is left behind.
- Same-day service when possible
- Blood traced into pad, grout and seams
- Sharps removed into rigid containers
- Hospital-grade disinfection
- Homes, cars, rentals and workplaces

Death odor removal
Death odor removal in New Glarus
Families in New Glarus often call us because the odor stayed after someone else cleaned. That usually means the source is still there, and we go find it.
When we’re done, the room should smell like nothing. If it doesn’t, we come back.
How we handle it
Odor removal is source removal first. We find every material that absorbed fluids, remove it, clean and disinfect the structure and seal it with an odor-blocking primer. Only then do we deodorize the air.
In village homes and dairy farms, odor often travels through floor vents and wall cavities. We check them on every New Glarus job.
- Source found and removed
- Subfloor and framing sealed
- Thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment
- Ducts and returns cleaned
- Filters replaced
Hoarding cleanout
Hoarding cleanout in New Glarus
Many New Glarus cleanouts happen when a family member is moving to care, a house is being sold or a landlord needs a unit back. We work to your deadline.
We keep a found-items box for papers, photos, cash, jewelry and anything else that might matter, and we hand it over at the end of each day.
How we handle it
We sort room by room, with a found-items box for anything that might matter. Trash and ruined items go out, and keepsakes, papers and valuables come back to you.
Joe works with families around the Sugar River trail at a pace that respects the person living there.
- Room-by-room sorting
- Found-items box for keepsakes
- Biohazards, sharps and pests handled
- Trash and ruined items hauled away
- Deep cleaning and disinfection
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup
Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in New Glarus
If police used tear gas or pepper spray in a New Glarus home, the residue keeps burning eyes and lungs for weeks. We clean it from walls, fabrics and ductwork.
We HEPA vacuum every surface first, then wash, then clean the ducts and change the filters. Fabrics are laundered or replaced.
How we handle it
Fingerprint powder comes in black, white, gray and magnetic types, and each one needs a different approach. Wiping smears it into the grain. We lift it with the right technique for each surface.
Forced-air systems spread tear gas fast, so we clean the ducts in every New Glarus home where it was used.
- Fingerprint powder lifted without smearing
- Ductwork cleaned and filters replaced
- Fabrics laundered or replaced
- Electronics and glass cleaned carefully
- Rooms checked before you move back in
Rebuild after cleanup
Rebuild after cleanup in New Glarus
Most cleanup companies leave a New Glarus family with a gutted room. We finish the job: subfloor, flooring, drywall, paint and trim.
Flooring, drywall, trim, doors, paint and fixtures are all part of what we can rebuild.
How we handle it
For rentals and homes going on the market, we schedule the rebuild to your deadline so the property can be rented or listed again.
In village homes and dairy farms, we match flooring and trim as closely as we can, so the repaired room fits the rest of the house.
- Trim and doors replaced
- Finishes matched as closely as possible
- One itemized estimate for your insurer
- Photos at every stage
- Final walkthrough with you
We come now in New Glarus.
A lot of cleanup companies take a message and call you back tomorrow. We don't. The tech who covers in New Glarus 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

Local police
We work with New Glarus 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 New Glarus, that’s how Joe and our crew work with the New Glarus 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 New Glarus: will insurance cover it?
Insurance usually covers cleanup after a sudden event in New Glarus. We bill the insurer directly, talk to the adjuster and help with Wisconsin crime victim compensation if it was a crime. Nobody hands us a card at the door.
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 New Glarus
Families in New Glarus 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.
