Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Auburn, Indiana
Available 24/7 including holidays in Auburn and DeKalb County – (888) 477-0015
A real technician answers every call – 35 to 45 minute target response – Veteran-Owned – IICRC Certified
Auburn is known for its classic cars and its proud history, but the families here face the same hard moments any community does, and when one happens at home, you should not have to face the cleanup alone. ACT Cleaners answers every call, any hour, and sends a crew that does this work for a living.
A Real Person Answers, Day or Night
Death and trauma do not keep business hours, so neither do we. Call ACT Cleaners at three in the morning, on a holiday, in the middle of a Sunday, and a trained technician picks up, not a machine and not a service that takes a message. We dispatch the moment you call, with a 35 to 45 minute target response across most of Auburn, and we have done it that way for over 25 years.
“One of the most recommended crime scene and biohazard teams in Indiana, because we show up and we do it right.”
Auburn and the Surrounding Area
Auburn is the DeKalb County seat in northeastern Indiana, north of Fort Wayne, a historic automaking town famous for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg legacy, with older in-town neighborhoods and surrounding rural property.
Auburn’s older homes hold contamination in hardwood, plaster, and subfloor rather than on the surface, and the rural properties across DeKalb County mean distance can factor into an unattended death going undiscovered. Our technicians trace the full extent, remove only what cannot be saved, and verify the result, coordinating quietly with the DeKalb County Coroner’s Office and the Auburn Police Department.
We also serve nearby Fort Wayne, Huntington, Warsaw, and the surrounding communities. See our full Indiana crime scene cleanup coverage.
How Death Investigation Works in Tippecanoe County
When a death in Auburn is sudden, violent, or unexpected, the DeKalb 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 Indiana’s 410 IAC 1-3 medical waste regulations for disposal.
First Steps Before We Get There
Please do
- 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.
- Keep people and pets out of the area. Blood and fluids can carry pathogens that are not visible.
Please do not
- 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 Indiana 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.

Paying for Cleanup: Insurance and Indiana Compensation
You should not let cost stop you from calling. Insurance covers this work in most cases, and we handle the claim directly with your carrier. When a violent crime is involved, the Indiana Violent Crime Victim Compensation Fund, run by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), can cover crime scene cleanup up to 15,000 dollars for families who report and file on time. We help eligible families understand and apply for it on the first call.
