What to Do Right Now

If you have just found a scene, this is all that is on you. None of it is cleaning.

  1. Call 911 so police and the Woodbury County Medical Examiner can respond.
  2. Stay out of the affected area and keep others out too.
  3. Wait for the release. Investigators clear the scene, usually quickly.
  4. 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 ordinary cleaners do not make them safe. We do it the right way: IICRC-certified technicians, full protective gear, hospital-grade disinfectants, and ATP testing at the end to confirm the area is truly clean. More than 800 scenes restored over 25 years, veteran-owned, BBB A+ rated. And above all, we believe no one who loved the person should have to be the one who cleans up.

Working With Woodbury County Authorities

Iowa uses medical examiners, not coroners. In Woodbury County, a physician appointed by the Board of Supervisors serves as the Woodbury 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 with the Sioux City Police Department, a nationally accredited agency, and the Woodbury 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 present.

Sioux City tip: older homes and a large rental market

Sioux City has a deep stock of older brick and wood-frame homes near downtown and Morningside, plus a sizable rental market across the city’s working neighborhoods. In older homes, fluids can wick into original hardwood, lath-and-plaster walls, and unsealed basements; in rentals, a death is often found late by a property manager or a neighbor. Whatever the property, do not let maintenance staff or new tenants try to clean it; that puts untrained people at risk and can spread contamination. Secure the area and call us. We check beneath and around the visible scene and document everything for the owner and the insurer.

What It Costs, and Who Pays

Most Sioux City 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 about what is likely covered, and what is not.
