What to Do in the First Few Minutes

If you are the one who found the scene, only a few things are on you, and cleaning is not one of them:

  1. Phone 911. Police and the Clinton County Medical Examiner respond first.
  2. Stay clear of the area and keep others out as well.
  3. Wait for clearance. Investigators release the scene when they finish.
  4. Call us next. From the moment it is released, the cleanup and insurance are ours.

Why Certified Cleanup Matters

Blood and bodily fluids can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and household products do not make them safe; contamination also sinks into flooring, subfloor, and walls beyond what the eye can see. Our technicians are IICRC-certified for trauma and crime scene work, follow the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, wear full protective gear, and verify the result with ATP testing before a job is done. More than 800 scenes over 25 years, veteran-owned, BBB A+ rated, and built on the belief that no one who loved the person should have to clean up after them.

Death Investigation in Clinton County

Iowa relies on medical examiners rather than coroners. A sudden, suspicious, or unexpected death in Clinton is investigated by the Clinton County Medical Examiner, a physician acting under Iowa Code 331.802 and Iowa Administrative Code 641-127 with the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner. The examiner works with the Clinton Police Department, on 6th Avenue South, and the Clinton County Sheriff. We do not enter until the scene is released; after that, we arrange access through the authorities, a property manager, or a family member so you do not have to be present.

Clinton tip: lumber-era homes and riverfront properties

Clinton’s wealth in the sawmill era left behind a stock of large, well-built older homes, many now a century or more old with original hardwood, plaster, and deep basements. Closer to the Mississippi, properties sit behind the riverfront dike built after the 1965 flood, and lower-level moisture is a fact of life. Both matter after a death: fluids travel along old wood seams and settle in damp lower levels in ways a surface wipe never reaches. Whatever the property, do not let untrained hands attempt biohazard cleanup. Secure the space and call us, and we document the work for the owner and the insurer.

Who Pays for Cleanup in Clinton

Families here usually pay little or nothing themselves. Homeowner’s insurance commonly covers biohazard and trauma cleanup, and because we bill the carrier directly, the cost does not land on you up front. If a violent crime was involved, the Iowa Crime Victim Compensation Program can help beyond insurance. It is run by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, funded by penalties on offenders rather than taxpayers, and it names crime scene cleanup among the expenses it covers for eligible victims, paid after insurance as the last resort, with limits set by category. Reach it through the Attorney General’s Victim Assistance Section at 515-281-5044. We will tell you honestly what is likely to apply.
