Northern Kentucky's Cross-River Cleanup Team

Covington is the largest city in Kenton County and the urban anchor of Northern Kentucky, a community of about 41,000 sitting on the south bank of the Ohio River directly across from downtown Cincinnati, with the Licking River marking its eastern edge. It is a dense, historic city of 19 distinct neighborhoods, from the German heritage of MainStrasse Village and the riverfront blocks looking across to Ohio, to the Latonia neighborhood and the residential streets that climb away from the water. As part of the Cincinnati metro, Covington blends old river-town housing with steady redevelopment, and ACT Cleaners serves all of it, around the clock.

Our IICRC-certified technicians respond to the full range of biohazard situations: unattended death, suicide, homicide, blood and bodily fluid incidents, hoarding, and infectious disease decontamination. We work to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards using EPA-registered, hospital-grade products, and we close out every scene with ATP verification testing rather than a visual check alone.

What We Promise Every Covington Family

  • A scheduled time you can rely on: we set an exact arrival time within 60 minutes of your call, or the cleanup is free. Most Covington callers have that time confirmed within about 15 minutes.
  • The insurance handled for you: most homeowner’s policies cover biohazard cleanup, and we bill your carrier directly. Send us your insurance details and we will file a pre-approval before work begins.
  • Proof the space is safe: we finish with ATP verification testing that confirms the area is below the safe contamination threshold, not just clean to the eye.

Why This Work Belongs to Trained Professionals

Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and ordinary cleaners will not neutralize them. Covington is one of Kentucky’s oldest river cities, full of historic row houses, masonry buildings, and converted multi-unit properties where contamination can pass through shared walls and original wood and plaster and remain a hazard long after a surface looks clean. Our technicians follow OSHA procedures, wear full PPE, and verify their work with ATP testing. Beyond the health risk, no one who loved the person should have to be the one who cleans up. Letting our team take it on protects your family and spares you a memory that does not fade.

Coordinating With Covington and Kenton County Authorities

In Kentucky, the county coroner investigates sudden, violent, and unexpected deaths. The Kenton County Coroner’s Office works alongside the Covington Police Department, the largest law enforcement agency in Northern Kentucky, the Kenton County Sheriff, and the Kentucky State Police where applicable. ACT Cleaners is available to assist when called, and we never enter a scene until investigators have released it. Once they do, we coordinate access directly with law enforcement, a property manager, or a family member, so you are not asked to be present.

Covington Pro Tip: row houses, shared walls, and older masonry

Covington’s historic neighborhoods are full of attached row houses and buildings later split into apartments, where one unit shares walls and floor assemblies with its neighbors. A biohazard scene in a dense building like this can affect the units beside, above, or below it if it is not handled correctly. If you own or manage one of these properties, do not have maintenance staff attempt the cleanup; it risks spreading contamination and exposes untrained people to bloodborne pathogens. Secure the unit, limit access, and call a certified team. We assess adjacent units when warranted and document everything for the owner, the association, and the insurer.

Help With the Cost in Covington

Most Covington families pay little or nothing out of pocket. Homeowner’s insurance commonly covers biohazard and trauma cleanup, and we bill your carrier directly. When a crime is involved, Kentucky’s Crime Victims Compensation program may help on top of insurance. As of 2024, the program raised its maximum award to $50,000, increased funeral reimbursement to up to $10,000, and specifically added crime scene cleanup to its list of reimbursable expenses. Contact the Kentucky Crime Victims Compensation Board at 502-782-8255, and we can help you understand whether your situation may qualify.
