What to Do Right Now
Just found a scene? Here is all that is on you, and none of it is cleaning.
- Call 911 so police and the Scott County Medical Examiner can respond.
- Keep everyone out of the affected area. The fluids can carry disease.
- Wait for the release. Investigators clear the scene, usually fast.
- Call us once it is released. We handle the cleanup and the insurance.

Why Families Trust Us With It
Blood and bodily fluids can carry hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and store-bought cleaners will not make a scene safe. We do it right: IICRC-certified technicians, full protective gear, hospital-grade disinfectants, and ATP testing at the end to prove the area is truly clean. More than 800 scenes restored over 25 years, veteran-owned, BBB A+ rated. And the part that matters most to us: no one who loved the person should ever have to clean up after them.
Working With Scott County Authorities
Iowa uses medical examiners, not coroners. In Scott County, a physician appointed by the Board of Supervisors serves as the Scott County Medical Examiner, investigating sudden, suspicious, and accidental deaths under Iowa Code chapter 331 and Iowa Administrative Code 641-127, with support from the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner. The examiner works alongside the Davenport Police Department and the Scott County Sheriff. We never enter a scene until it is released, then we coordinate access with the authorities, a property manager, or a family member, so you are not asked to be there.
Davenport tip: older riverfront homes and shared-wall buildings
Davenport has a deep stock of older homes near the river and downtown, plus many larger houses long ago split into apartments. In those buildings, a scene can affect more than one unit through shared walls and floors, and fluids can wick into original hardwood and unsealed basements. If you own or manage one of these properties, do not send maintenance staff in to clean it; that exposes untrained people to bloodborne pathogens and can spread the problem. Secure the unit and call us. We check the areas around and below the scene and document it all for the owner and the insurer.
What It Costs, and Who Pays
Most Davenport families pay little or nothing out of pocket. Homeowner’s insurance usually covers biohazard and trauma cleanup, and we bill your carrier directly so you are not fronting the cost. When a violent crime is involved, the Iowa Crime Victim Compensation Program may help on top of insurance. Run by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office and funded by penalties paid by offenders, it lists crime scene cleanup among its covered expenses for eligible victims, paid after insurance, with limits set by category. Reach the program through the Attorney General’s Victim Assistance Section at 515-281-5044. We will be honest with you about what is likely covered and what is not.
