Serving Fort Wayne and Allen County
Fort Wayne is Indiana’s second-largest city, built where three rivers meet, with neighborhoods that range from the century-old homes of the West Central historic district to the postwar streets of the south side and the newer subdivisions pushing toward Aboite and the northeast. That range matters more than it seems, because the age and construction of a home change everything about how biological contamination behaves inside it.
In the older balloon-frame and plaster homes near downtown, fluids travel down inside wall cavities and into subfloor systems in a way they never do in newer construction. Our technicians read the house, trace the contamination to its full extent, and verify the space is clean before we leave, not just the surface you can see. From a historic home in West Central to a newer property out toward Aboite, we bring the same certified crew and verified standard, coordinating quietly with the Allen County Coroner’s Office and the Fort Wayne Police Department.
We also serve nearby Indianapolis, Huntington, Auburn, and the surrounding communities. See our full Indiana crime scene cleanup coverage.
How Death Investigation Works in Allen County
When a death in Fort Wayne is sudden, violent, or unexpected, the Allen 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 Fort Wayne
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 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.
- 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.
How a Typical Fort Wayne Call Goes
Illustrative example
A property manager in the Fort Wayne area called us on a holiday weekend after a tenant was found deceased several days after passing. The family was out of state. A real technician answered, walked the manager through securing the unit, and our crew was on site within the hour. We removed the contaminated flooring and subfloor where decomposition had reached, decontaminated the space, addressed the odor at its source, and documented everything for the property’s insurer. The unit was verified safe and ready for restoration in two days.
This is a composite illustration of the kind of work we do, not a specific client account.
