Trusted Cleanup Across Derby City and Jefferson County

Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky and the anchor of Jefferson County, a community of more than 630,000 governed since 2003 as Louisville Metro. Set along the Ohio River and known as Derby City, it is a place of distinct neighborhoods, from the Victorian streets of Old Louisville and the bustle of the Highlands and NuLu to Germantown, Crescent Hill, the West End, and the suburbs of St. Matthews and Jeffersontown. When loss reaches a Louisville home, ACT Cleaners answers, any hour, with discretion and care for every family.

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 clean to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards using EPA-registered, hospital-grade products, and we confirm every scene with ATP verification testing before the work is done.

Why Professional Cleanup Protects Your Family

Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and ordinary cleaners do not neutralize them. Louisville has a deep stock of historic homes, with Old Louisville holding one of the largest Victorian districts in the country, where original wood floors, plaster, and basements can hide contamination long after a surface looks clean. Our technicians clean to OSHA standards, wear full PPE, and verify results with ATP testing. And no family member should be the one who cleans up after losing someone. Letting our team handle it protects your health and spares you a memory you cannot take back.

Working With Louisville Metro and Jefferson County Authorities

In Kentucky, the county coroner investigates sudden, violent, and unexpected deaths. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office maintains 24/7 coverage and works alongside the Louisville Metro Police Department, which divides the county into eight patrol divisions, as well as 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.

Louisville Pro Tip: historic homes and hidden migration

Old Louisville, the Highlands, and Crescent Hill are full of homes built before 1920, with porous original hardwood, lath-and-plaster walls, and stone or unsealed basements. When a scene sits, fluids can wick into those materials and travel between floors. If a death or injury occurred in an older Louisville home, ask that the subfloor and the level below be inspected, not just the visible area. We check for hidden migration as standard, because that is what keeps odor and contamination from returning weeks later.

Help With the Cost in Louisville

Most Louisville 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.
