Crime scene cleanup, handled safely so families don't have to.

After a crime, the cleanup that's left behind is a biohazard job — and never one a family should face alone. Biohazard Cleanup MN handles the decontamination and restoration quietly and thoroughly, so the space can be safe again.

Overview

Proper biohazard decontamination, not just cleaning.

After a crime, once law enforcement has released the scene, what's left behind is often a serious biohazard. Blood and bodily fluids carry bloodborne pathogens, and fingerprint powder, residue, and damaged materials add to the burden. It is not something a property owner or grieving family should ever have to clean themselves, and in most cases it isn't safe to try.

Biohazard Cleanup MN treats a crime scene as the biohazard situation it is. We remove affected materials, decontaminate every surface to proper standards, and neutralize odor at its source — returning the space to a genuinely safe, clean condition. We work discreetly and at a respectful pace, keeping you informed without ever making you look at more than you want to.

Who usually calls us

Most people who reach out are family members, property owners, or landlords dealing with the aftermath of something they never expected. Sometimes it's a property manager, an estate executor, or a victim advocate helping someone through the next steps.

Wherever you fit, you don't need to have anything figured out before you call. We'll explain what happens, coordinate around the timing of the scene's release, and take the physical work off your shoulders entirely.

Discretion is part of the job

Vehicles are unmarked, technicians wear plain clothing, and we never discuss your situation with neighbors or anyone else. As far as anyone outside needs to know, we're just people helping with a home.

Does insurance cover crime scene cleanup?

Often, at least in part. Many homeowner's policies help cover biohazard cleanup after a crime, and in some cases victim-assistance programs may contribute as well. Coverage varies from policy to policy, so we can't promise what yours will do, but we'll help you understand what to look for and how billing typically works.

Either way, you get a clear estimate up front, and no work starts until you're ready.

Frequently asked

Crime scene cleanup questions.

When can crime scene cleanup begin?

Cleanup can start once law enforcement has finished processing the scene and formally released it. Until then, the area is part of an active investigation and can't be touched. As soon as it's released, call Biohazard Cleanup MN and we can usually be there the same day or the next.

Do the police clean up after a crime?

No. Law enforcement investigates and documents the scene, but they don't clean it — that responsibility falls to the property owner or family. Cleaning up blood and biohazards safely takes proper equipment and training, which is exactly what we handle so you never have to.

Do we have to be there?

No. Many people can't face returning to the scene, and that's completely understandable. You can arrange access and we'll keep you updated by phone. If you'd rather be present for decisions, that works too.

Is the cleanup kept private?

Yes. We arrive in unmarked vehicles and plain clothing and never discuss the situation with neighbors. Discretion is built into how we work.

Will there be any trace left behind?

Our goal is a space that is fully decontaminated and restored, with no biohazard and no lingering odor. We remove or treat affected materials, sanitize the surfaces underneath, and deodorize at the source.
