Available 24/7 in New Lenox, Every Day of the Year

ACT Cleaners is reachable around the clock, including holidays, and a real technician answers every call. That matters most at the worst hours, when families find themselves facing a scene with no idea who to call.

“When no one else picks up at three in the morning, we do.”

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.

Who Handles a Death in New Lenox

After a sudden or unexpected death, the Will County Coroner’s Office determines cause and manner, and the funeral home handles the arrangements. Neither one cleans the property. That responsibility falls to the family or the owner, which catches many people off guard during an already devastating time. ACT Cleaners steps into exactly that gap, decontaminating and restoring the scene to a verified safe condition and following Illinois EPA medical waste regulations under our license number M9110.

While You Wait for Us: A Short Guide

Please do

  • 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.
  • Have your insurance information ready. We can start the claim and bill the carrier directly.

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.

About Our Work in New Lenox

New Lenox is a growing residential community in Will County southeast of Joliet, known for its strong schools and family neighborhoods, blending established subdivisions with newer development as the village has expanded along the Lincoln Highway corridor.

Much of New Lenox is newer single-family construction, but newer does not mean a scene is any less serious; biological contamination still penetrates flooring, subfloor, and finishes and requires proper containment and removal rather than surface cleaning. Our technicians assess the actual property, decontaminate to a verified safe standard, document for the family and its insurer, and coordinate quietly with the Will County Coroner’s Office and the New Lenox Police Department, following Illinois EPA waste rules under license M9110.

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

Questions Families in New Lenox Ask

How fast can you reach New Lenox?

We answer 24/7, including holidays, and dispatch immediately, with a 35 to 45 minute target response for most of the Will County area. We give you an honest window based on your exact location.

Who investigates a death in New Lenox?

Will County uses the Will County Coroner’s Office to determine cause and manner of death. Cleanup of the property afterward falls to the family or owner, which is what ACT Cleaners handles. Call (888) 477-0015.

Is it safe to clean up blood myself?

It is not recommended. Blood can carry pathogens that are not visible, and household cleaners do not disinfect to a safe standard. Trained technicians contain the area, remove what cannot be saved, and disinfect to a verified standard.

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.
