Cleanup techs who know Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a small village in farm country between Oregon and Evansville. Calls here are often in older farmhouses and outbuildings, where we take care of the whole property and help the family figure out what to keep.

We work in the village center and farms along Highway 92 and every neighborhood around them. Brooklyn calls go to Gabby, who covers outer Dane County for MadTown Biohazard. On bigger jobs, the rest of the crew comes in so it gets done right and done fast.

Good to know

Most of our jobs have nothing to do with a crime

People hesitate to call because of our name. In this industry, crime scene cleanup is the catch-all name for any job with blood, bodily fluids or a death, and most of what we do around Madison is a natural death, a fall or a medical emergency.

So if there’s blood, fluid or an odor anywhere at your home or business in Brooklyn, call us. We remove it, disinfect what’s left and treat the odor at its source, so the space is safe to live or work in again.

Our services

Unattended death cleanup in Brooklyn

Deaths at home in Brooklyn happen in every kind of house, from a quiet ranch to a third-floor apartment. Wherever it is, we handle the room, the belongings near it and the smell that follows.

Insurance usually covers death cleanup as a sudden loss. We bill the insurer directly and handle the adjuster’s questions.

How we handle it

Belongings get the most care. We set aside anything personal, clean what can be cleaned and ask about everything else. Things that can’t be saved are removed as biohazard waste, and you get a list of what went.

In Brooklyn, we see this most in older farmhouses and village homes. Gabby knows how these homes are built, which matters once fluids have reached the floor below.

What's included

Suicide cleanup

Suicide cleanup in Brooklyn

There’s no right way to handle a suicide in the family. There is a right way to clean up after one, and in Brooklyn that’s our job, not yours.

We keep our arrival low-key and our equipment in closed cases. Nobody on the street needs to know why we’re there.

How we handle it

We follow the same careful process every time: a quiet walkthrough, a written plan you approve, removal of what can’t be saved, cleaning and disinfection of everything that stays, deodorization and a final check. If you don’t want to see the room, you don’t have to.

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.

What's included

Death odor removal

Death odor removal in Brooklyn

Death odor in a Brooklyn home doesn’t fade on its own. It lives in the materials that absorbed fluids, and it comes back until those materials are gone.

Soft goods like curtains, couches and clothing hold odor. Some can be cleaned and some can’t. We’ll show you which before anything leaves.

How we handle it

Ductwork gets attention on every odor job. Returns and supply runs near the source can carry smell through the whole house, so we clean them and change the filters.

Gabby has cleared odor from homes all around the village center. If someone else already tried, we’ll find what they missed.

What's included

Crime scene & homicide cleanup

Crime scene & homicide cleanup in Brooklyn

Crime scene cleanup in Brooklyn 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.

Every crime scene is photographed and documented before, during and after. That record matters for your insurer and for Wisconsin crime victim compensation.

How we handle it

When we’re done, the space is clean, disinfected and deodorized, and you have a full photo record. That record is what your insurer and the Wisconsin crime victim compensation program will ask for.

In older farmhouses and village homes, contamination often reaches the next room or the next unit. We check shared spaces in Brooklyn every time.

What's included
Most calls come from someone who never thought they'd need us. We slow down, explain each step in plain words and let them decide what happens next.

From our techs

Tips for Brooklyn families and property owners

Practical advice from the techs who answer Brooklyn calls.

01

Keep important papers

We set aside papers, photos and valuables. You decide what to keep.

Blood & biohazard cleanup

Blood & biohazard cleanup in Brooklyn

Blood can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. In Brooklyn, we clean it with full protective gear, hospital-grade disinfectant and licensed waste disposal.

Car seats, carpets and upholstery can sometimes be saved with the right extraction and disinfection. We’ll tell you honestly when they can’t.

How we handle it

We find blood with careful inspection and simple tools that show what the eye misses. Then we remove porous materials that absorbed it and clean hard surfaces with an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant, giving it the full contact time it needs.

In Brooklyn, blood and biohazard calls come from homes, cars and workplaces. Businesses near the village center often need us after hours.

What's included

Rebuild after cleanup

Rebuild after cleanup in Brooklyn

For Brooklyn landlords and sellers, the rebuild is what gets a unit rented or a house listed again. We schedule it into the same plan you approved.

We photograph every stage, from the open subfloor to the finished room, so your insurer sees exactly what was done.

How we handle it

You get one itemized estimate that covers both the cleanup and the rebuild, which keeps the insurance claim simple.

Gabby keeps the rebuild in Brooklyn under the same scope, so you never manage two crews.

What's included

Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup

Tear gas & fingerprint powder cleanup in Brooklyn

We clean tear gas, pepper spray and fingerprint powder for Brooklyn homes, rentals and businesses, often before a business opens the next morning.

Don’t start airing the house out or running the furnace before you call. Moving air spreads the residue into rooms that were clean.

How we handle it

Tear gas (CS) and pepper spray (OC) residue is a fine powder and oil that clings to everything. We HEPA vacuum first so it doesn’t spread, then wash surfaces with the right cleaners, then clean the ductwork and replace the filters.

If police used tear gas in your Brooklyn home, call before you open windows or run the furnace. We’ll tell you what to leave alone.

What's included

Hoarding cleanout

Hoarding cleanout in Brooklyn

Hoarding cleanouts in Brooklyn start with a conversation, not a dumpster. We agree on what stays, what goes and how fast, with the person and the family.

We can come back on a schedule afterward, so the home doesn’t slide back. Recovery takes time, and we’re patient.

How we handle it

Once the home is clear, we deep clean and disinfect, and we can repair floors and walls in the same plan. Ongoing visits are available so the home stays livable.

In Brooklyn, we can schedule cleanouts in stages and come back for follow-up visits.

What's included

Under the floor

Why Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.

CarpetLooks clean after scrubbing and shampoo.
PadStill holds fluid. The odor comes back on warm days.
SubfloorUntouched. Plank gaps let fluid reach the joists.
Ceiling belowStains and odor show up weeks later.
Carpet & padCut out and bagged for licensed medical waste disposal.
SubfloorSection removed, or cleaned, disinfected and sealed.
JoistsCleaned and sealed with an encapsulant so odor can't return.
Room belowChecked, and treated if fluid reached it. Then we rebuild.

Why people call us first

We come now in Brooklyn.

A lot of cleanup companies take a message and call you back tomorrow. We don't. The tech who covers in Brooklyn lives nearby and starts driving while you're still on the phone, with the equipment already on the truck.

Local police

How we work with police in Brooklyn

In Brooklyn, the first people at a scene are usually the Brooklyn Police Department and, after a death, the Dane County Medical Examiner. Our job starts after theirs ends. Gabby checks that the property has been released before anyone on our crew goes inside.

If you’re not sure whether the home has been released, call us. We’ll help you find out from the right office before anyone opens the door.

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 Brooklyn: will insurance cover it?

There’s no money up front in Brooklyn. We document the job for your insurer, help with Wisconsin crime victim compensation when it applies and put any remaining cost in writing before we start.

Where did it happen?
Was a crime involved?
Is there insurance on it?
Usually · based on your answers

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.
