Good to know

So if there’s blood, fluid or an odor anywhere at your home or business in Dodgeville, 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.
- Natural and unattended deaths
- Falls, injuries and medical emergencies
- Blood and fluids, removed and disinfected

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.

Forced-air systems spread odor through the whole house. We check the returns and ducts, and we replace filters as part of the job.

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.

Blood & biohazard cleanup
Blood & biohazard cleanup in Dodgeville
Blood from a fall, an injury or a medical emergency in Dodgeville spreads farther than it looks. We find it in grout, carpet pad, upholstery and car seats, and remove it the safe way.
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
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.
For landlords in Dodgeville, we document every biohazard cleanup, so you have a record for the deposit, the insurer and the next tenant.
- Hospital-grade disinfection
