How Death Investigation Works in Will County

When a death in Crest Hill is sudden, violent, or unexpected, the Will County Coroner’s Office investigates to determine the cause and manner of death. That is the county’s role. Cleaning and restoring the property afterward is not a government service and not the funeral home’s responsibility; it falls to the family or property owner, and that is the work ACT Cleaners does. We coordinate quietly with the coroner and local law enforcement and follow Illinois EPA medical waste regulations under our license number M9110 for disposal.

Before We Arrive: What To Do and What Not To Do

Please do

  • Call us first, before you touch anything. A real technician will tell you exactly what to do next, any hour.
  • Have your insurance information ready. We can start the claim and bill the carrier directly.
  • Keep people and pets out of the area. Blood and fluids can carry pathogens that are not visible.
  • Lower the thermostat if you safely can. Cooler air slows biological activity and odor until we arrive.

Please do not

  • Do not clean biological material yourself. Household products do not disinfect to a safe standard, and the exposure is real.
  • Do not discard belongings yet. Some can be saved, and some matter for an insurance or compensation claim.
  • Do not run fans or central air. Airflow moves contamination through the home and HVAC.
  • Do not let cost stop you from calling. Insurance usually covers this, and Illinois Crime Victims Compensation may help for violent crimes.

Help With the Cost of Cleanup in Crest Hill

Most biohazard and trauma cleanup is covered by homeowner’s or property insurance, and we bill your carrier directly. If the scene involves a qualifying violent crime, the Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Program, administered by the Illinois Attorney General and Court of Claims, has covered crime scene cleanup as an eligible expense since 2022, up to the program’s 45,000 dollars maximum, for families who report the crime and file within the deadline. Most families who qualify never apply, because no one tells them it exists. We do, and we help with the paperwork.

Serving Crest Hill and Will County

Crest Hill sits just north of Joliet in Will County, a primarily residential city of established mid-century neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, home to a mix of longtime families and a substantial institutional presence along its main corridors.

In Crest Hill’s older homes, biological material works into hardwood, subfloor, and wall cavities rather than staying on the surface, and a surface wipe leaves contamination and odor behind. Our technicians trace the full extent, remove only what cannot be salvaged, and verify the result before leaving, coordinating quietly with the Will County Coroner’s Office and the Crest Hill Police Department, and disposing of all biohazardous material under our Illinois EPA license number M9110.

We also serve nearby Joliet, Lockport, Romeoville, and the surrounding communities. See our full Illinois crime scene cleanup coverage.

Can the state help pay after a violent crime?
