Serving Bloomington and Monroe County
Bloomington is defined by Indiana University, a city whose population swells and empties with the academic year and whose housing runs from the historic homes of the near-campus neighborhoods to the dense student rentals and apartments that ring the university, out to the family neighborhoods and rural property in the surrounding Monroe County hills. That student and rental density shapes much of the work we do here.
When a death, an accident, or a medical event happens in student or rental housing, the call often involves landlords, property managers, or university staff rather than family, and it requires particular discretion and a fast turnaround so a unit can be returned to safe, leasable condition. In the older near-campus homes, contamination travels into the structure rather than staying on the surface. Our technicians decontaminate to a verified safe standard, document for the property and its insurer, and coordinate quietly with the Monroe County Coroner’s Office and the Bloomington Police Department.
We also serve nearby Indianapolis, Columbus, Greenwood, and the surrounding communities. See our full Indiana crime scene cleanup coverage.
How Death Investigation Works in Monroe County
When a death in Bloomington is sudden, violent, or unexpected, the Monroe 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’s office and local law enforcement, and we follow Indiana’s 410 IAC 1-3 medical waste regulations for the disposal of all biohazardous material.
Help With the Cost of Cleanup in Bloomington
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 Indiana Violent Crime Victim Compensation Fund, administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), has covered crime scene cleanup as an eligible expense since 2022, up to the program’s 15,000 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, on the first call, and we help with the paperwork.
Before We Arrive: What To Do and What Not To Do
Please do
- Turn the thermostat down if you can do so safely. Cooler air slows biological activity and odor until we arrive.
- Call us first, before anyone else and before you touch anything. A real technician will tell you exactly what to do next, any hour.
- Write down your insurance carrier and policy number. We can start the claim for you and bill the carrier directly.
- Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Blood and bodily fluids can carry pathogens that are not visible.
Please do not
- Do not try to clean blood or biological material yourself. Household cleaners do not disinfect to a safe standard, and the exposure risk is real.
- Do not throw away belongings yet. Some items can be saved, and others may matter for an insurance or compensation claim.
- Do not run fans or the central air. Airflow can move contamination through the home and into the HVAC system.
- Do not let cost stop you from calling. Insurance usually covers this, and for violent crimes Indiana compensation may help. We walk you through it.
How a Typical Bloomington Call Goes
Illustrative example
A landlord near the Indiana University campus in Bloomington discovered an unattended death in a rental unit between leases. A real technician answered the call and our crew responded quickly and discreetly. We traced the contamination into the subfloor, removed what could not be salvaged, decontaminated the structure, and returned the unit to a documented, leasable condition, providing the full scope and photos for the property file and insurer.
