About Our Work in Hanover Park

Hanover Park spans the Cook and DuPage county line in the northwest suburbs, a primarily residential village built largely in the postwar and later decades, with a diverse community and a deep stock of single-family homes and townhomes.

In Hanover Park’s housing, biological contamination penetrates flooring, subfloor, and finishes and requires proper containment and removal rather than surface cleaning. Our technicians decontaminate to a verified safe standard, document for the family and its insurer, and coordinate quietly with the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Hanover Park Police Department, disposing of all biohazardous material under our Illinois EPA license M9110.

We also serve nearby Schaumburg, Streamwood, Carol Stream, and the surrounding communities. See our full Illinois crime scene cleanup coverage.

While You Wait for Us: A Short Guide

Please do

  • 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.
  • Call us first, before you touch anything. A real technician will tell you exactly what to do next, any hour.

Please do not

  • 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.
  • 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.

What We Handle in Hanover Park

In Hanover Park, our team handles unattended death and decomposition cleanup, hoarding and infectious disease decontamination, blood and bodily fluid cleanup, biohazard and trauma scene cleanup, tenant death and rental property cleanup, and suicide cleanup, along with related decontamination work. Every job is done to a verified safe standard, billed to insurance where coverage applies.

Will Insurance or the State Pay for This?

In most cases, yes. Homeowner’s and property policies typically cover biohazard, trauma, and unattended death cleanup, and we bill the carrier directly so families rarely pay out of pocket. For violent crimes, the Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Program through the Illinois Attorney General and Court of Claims may reimburse crime scene cleanup up to 45,000 dollars, a benefit added in 2022 that most eligible families never hear about. We walk you through it.

The Coroner's Role, and Where We Come In

In Cook County, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office is responsible for investigating a sudden, violent, or unexpected death and determining how it happened. What the county does not do, and what the funeral home does not do, is clean and restore the property afterward. That falls to the family. ACT Cleaners handles it, coordinating with the coroner’s office and disposing of all biohazardous material under Illinois EPA medical waste regulations under our license number M9110.

Who investigates a death in Hanover Park?

How quickly can you get here?

We dispatch the moment you call, with a 35 to 45 minute target response for most of the area, depending on your exact location. We give you an honest window rather than a number we cannot keep.

How much does crime scene cleanup cost?

It depends on the size of the scene, the type of contamination, and how far it has spread. In most cases insurance covers it and we bill the carrier directly, so families rarely pay out of pocket. We assess honestly before any work begins.

Will my neighbors know what happened?

No. Our vehicles and uniforms are unmarked and we work discreetly. The public does not need to know what happened, and we keep it that way.

Who cleans up after an unattended death?

After the coroner and funeral home finish, cleaning the property falls to the family or owner, not the county or the funeral home. A biohazard company like ACT Cleaners handles unattended death and decomposition cleanup to a verified safe standard.
