Crime Scene, Blood & Death Cleanup, Minutes Away
01 / The first hour
What happens from the moment you call
Most companies describe their services. We’d rather show you the clock, because when you need biohazard cleanup or crime scene cleanup in Schererville, the clock is what you actually care about. Here’s the first hour, minute by honest minute:
Minute 0 · The call
A person answers. Not a menu.
You tell us what happened and where. If police or the Lake County Coroner are involved, we ask whether the scene has been released, and if it hasn’t, we coordinate around the investigation’s timeline so nothing waits longer than it must. You get a real arrival window based on where the crew actually is.
Typically ~30 minutes · On scene
A local crew, not a highway ETA.
Our crew is based right here in the Region, which is why our typical response across core Lake County coverage is about 30 minutes, not the drive-time math of a Chicago dispatch. The crew arrives in unlettered vehicles, walks the property with you or your designee, and photographs everything exactly as found.
Inside the first hour · The plan
A written scope before work begins.
What’s contaminated, what’s affected, what must be removed, what can be saved, what it costs, and how the insurance side will run. If we see a coverage problem coming, you hear it now, standing in the driveway, not on an invoice. Then, with your approval, containment goes up and the work starts.
From there the job runs to a standard, not a schedule: removal of contaminated materials as regulated waste, hospital-grade disinfection, odor eliminated at its source, drying verified with readings when water is involved, and a photographed file your insurance carrier can pay against.

02 / What we’re built for
Blood and after-death cleanup first. That’s the company.
Plenty of restoration outfits list biohazard cleanup at the bottom of a services menu. We’re built the other way around: crime scene cleanup, blood cleanup, unattended death cleanup, and suicide cleanup are the core of this company, and everything else we do grew from doing that work right. When someone dies in a home, when blood is spilled, when a scene needs to become a room again, that’s the call we built everything to answer. If you searched for biohazard cleanup in Schererville and found a franchise page with a national phone number, this is the local alternative it was pretending to be.
Unattended death cleanup
When someone dies alone and isn’t found for days or weeks, decomposition creates biological contamination that migrates into flooring, subfloor, and walls, and an odor that ordinary cleaning cannot touch. Unattended death cleanup is the most demanding form of biohazard cleanup there is, and it’s the job this company was built around. Our crews handle it completely: containment before anything is touched, removal of affected materials to clean structure, hospital-grade disinfection, odor eliminated at the source and verified room by room, and licensed disposal with records. Families never have to see the scene again, and out-of-town family can receive the entire job in photographs instead of walking the rooms. How unattended death cleanup works
Crime scene & trauma cleanup
After the Schererville Police Department or any Lake County agency finishes its work and the Coroner’s office releases a scene, the cleanup belongs to the property owner, a fact that shocks nearly every family who learns it in real time. We take it from there: coordination with investigators on timing, discreet unlettered arrival, containment, removal of contaminated materials as regulated waste, hospital-grade disinfection, and even the fingerprint powder and evidence-processing residue the investigation leaves behind. The goal is simple and absolute: when the family walks back in, it’s their home again. The full crime scene process. For blood from injuries and medical emergencies, our blood cleanup page covers it plainly, and for the hardest loss of all, suicide cleanup is handled with every ounce of care we have.
A representative example of how these jobs run
An unattended death in a Schererville ranch home
A longtime resident of one of Schererville’s mid-century neighborhoods passes at home and isn’t discovered for nearly two weeks, until a neighbor notices the mail and calls for a wellness check. The Lake County Coroner’s office completes its investigation and releases the scene, and the adult children, one local, one out of state, inherit a house they grew up in with a scene in the back bedroom.
The crew is there the same afternoon. Contamination has reached through the carpet and pad into the subfloor, so the affected section comes out as regulated waste, cut clean and photographed. The joists below are cleaned, treated, and verified. Odor is eliminated at the source and confirmed room by room, because a family shouldn’t smell the worst week of their lives every time the furnace runs. The out-of-state sibling receives the entire job in photographs, before, during, and after, and the insurance file goes to the carrier itemized and complete. Two weeks later the family is making decisions about the house on their own timeline, in a home that is simply their parents’ house again.
03 / The rest of the fight
Every lane a disaster can take
Death cleanup is the core, but disasters don’t stay in one lane: a fatal fire needs crime scene cleanup alongside fire damage restoration, a sewage backup is biohazard cleanup wearing a water damage restoration problem, and a hoarding cleanout hides mold remediation work underneath. So we carry every lane, with one crew and one documented file, instead of leaving your family to referee three contractors.
Fire & smoke
Fire damage restoration
Board-up the same night, smoke and soot chased into the cavities where it actually hides, odor eliminated at the source, and the suppression water handled before it becomes a mold problem. And because a fire displaces a family the same night it damages a house, we assist with the human side too: helping arrange temporary housing when it’s needed and navigating the additional living expense side of the claim.
Water & sewage
Water damage restoration
Extraction at emergency speed, structural drying verified with moisture readings instead of appearances, and honest answers on what stays and what comes out, all raced against the 24-to-48-hour window before wet materials can start growing mold. Sewage backups get treated as what they are: biohazard work with a water problem attached, handled by one crew equipped for both.
Mold · non-chemical
Mechanical mold remediation
No fogging, no chemical theater. Our remediation physically removes contaminated material, HEPA filtration, mechanical removal, and dry ice blasting on structural wood, and fixes the moisture source, consistent with EPA guidance. Mold that’s removed is gone; mold that’s fogged is scheduled to return.
Hoarding
Hoarding cleanup
Judgment-free and at the family’s pace, with keepsakes, documents, and valuables sorted before anything leaves. The biohazards underneath, animal waste, pests, hidden water damage, get handled as routine parts of the job rather than surprises, and nobody on the block learns a thing from us.
04 / The technology edge
Dry ice restoration: the tool the Region hasn’t caught up to
Most restoration companies around here are still sanding char, scrubbing soot by hand, and fogging mold with chemicals. Our crews run CO2 dry ice blasting, technology other companies are just starting to learn, and it changes what can be saved. Dry ice pellets vaporize on impact, lifting smoke residue, soot, char, and mold growth off surfaces without water, without chemicals, without abrasive damage, and without a secondary waste stream to clean up afterward.
What that means in a real house: fire-damaged framing cleaned back to sound wood instead of ripped out, smoke residue lifted from detail work that sanding would destroy, and mold physically removed from structural lumber as part of our mechanical, non-chemical remediation method. It’s faster where speed matters, gentler where the house deserves it, and honest by design, because blasting removes the problem instead of coating it.
Fire jobs
Char and soot removal that saves structure
Framing, joists, and decking cleaned and recovered where old methods meant demolition, which means smaller scopes, faster rebuilds, and claims that close sooner.
Mold jobs
The blasting arm of the mechanical method
Physical removal from structural wood with no chemical residue left in a home where a family breathes, consistent with EPA physical-removal guidance.
05 / Straight answers
Who does what after a death in Lake County
Law enforcement investigates. The Lake County Coroner’s Office in Crown Point investigates and certifies the death, performs autopsies when required, and notifies next of kin. Neither one cleans the property. Once the scene is released, everything that remains, including biological contamination, belongs to the property owner to resolve, and that’s the moment most families discover this entire industry exists. Professional biohazard cleanup is how a released scene becomes a livable home again, whether that means crime scene cleanup after an investigation or unattended death cleanup after a late discovery, and it’s the job we built this company around: (888) 629-1222, any hour, typically about 30 minutes out.
Indiana runs elected county coroners rather than the medical examiner systems some neighboring states use; the authority is the same, and so is the sequence a family experiences: investigation, release, then cleanup as the owner’s responsibility. We work inside that sequence constantly and coordinate with the Coroner’s timeline on every death-related call.
06 / The map
The crossroads gets one number
Schererville sits where US 30 meets US 41, which makes it the natural center of everything we cover: biohazard cleanup, crime scene cleanup, and unattended death cleanup across the dense ring of Lake County towns, plus fire damage restoration, water damage restoration, and mold remediation everywhere the emergency lanes cross, where a local crew’s 30 minutes beats a Chicago dispatch’s afternoon. Our core coverage:
Near the edge of that list, or just past it? Call anyway. The answer is usually yes, and it’s always honest. And whichever town you’re calling from, the service is the same: death-first biohazard cleanup with every restoration lane behind it, from one local crew.

Straight answers to the first questions
How fast can you get to a scene in Schererville?
We run a local crew based in the area, and across our core Lake County coverage we’re typically on scene in about 30 minutes. That’s a capability, not a stopwatch promise: call (888) 629-1222 any hour, tell us what happened, and you’ll get an honest arrival window from a real person based on where the crew actually is.
Who investigates a death in Schererville?
Local law enforcement and the Lake County Coroner’s Office, located in Crown Point. Indiana counties operate elected coroners who investigate and certify deaths, perform autopsies, and notify next of kin. What the Coroner does not do is clean: once the scene is released, cleanup becomes the property owner’s responsibility, and that’s where professional biohazard cleanup begins.
What does unattended death cleanup involve?
Containment of the affected area, removal of contaminated porous materials to clean structure, hospital-grade disinfection of what remains, odor eliminated at its source rather than masked, licensed disposal of regulated waste, and photographed documentation for the insurance claim. Ordinary cleaning cannot resolve decomposition, and no family should attempt it themselves.
Is biohazard or crime scene cleanup covered by insurance?
Homeowners policies typically cover trauma and biohazard cleanup. We photograph and document everything to carrier standards, itemized scope, disposal records, before-and-after, and if we see a coverage question coming, you hear it before work begins, never after the invoice.
What is dry ice restoration?
Dry ice blasting uses CO2 pellets that vaporize on impact, lifting smoke residue, soot, char, and mold from surfaces without water, chemicals, or abrasive damage, and without leaving a secondary waste stream behind. It reaches detail work that sanding destroys and cleans structural wood other methods can’t fully recover. It’s technology most companies in the Region are only starting to learn, and our crews already run it.
Do you help families after a house fire beyond the cleanup?
Yes. A fire displaces a family the same night it damages the house, so we assist with the human side too: helping arrange temporary housing when it’s needed and helping families navigate the additional living expense side of their insurance claim, alongside the board-up, smoke, soot, odor, and water work itself.
