How the Cost Usually Works

Most South Central Kentucky families pay little or nothing out of pocket. Homeowner’s and renter’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. You can reach the Kentucky Crime Victims Compensation Board at 502-782-8255, and we are glad to help you understand whether your situation may qualify. We will never overstate what a program covers.

What We Clean

The right approach depends on what happened and how long the scene has been left. Across South Central Kentucky, our certified technicians provide:

  • Unattended death and decomposition cleanup: full death cleanup after a person has passed alone and been found later, when decomposition leaves biohazards that require careful removal.
  • Suicide and trauma scene cleanup: private trauma cleanup handled with compassion, so loved ones are never left to face the scene.
  • Homicide and violent crime scene cleanup: thorough crime scene cleanup after investigators release the scene.
  • Blood and bodily fluid cleanup: rapid blood cleanup following accidents and medical emergencies.
  • Vehicle biohazard cleanup: decontamination of cars and trucks after a death, accident, or trauma.
  • Tenant death and rental property cleanup: coordinated with landlords and property managers, with documentation for owners and insurers.
  • Drug-related and needle cleanup: safe removal of needles, paraphernalia, and contamination from spaces affected by drug use.
  • Hoarding and gross filth cleanup: patient, judgment-free restoration of a home to a safe and livable condition.

Trained, Certified, and Local to the Work

This is not cleaning that should be attempted with household products. Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and after a death or injury, contamination can soak deep into flooring, subfloor, and walls. ACT Cleaners is a veteran-owned company that has restored more than 800 scenes over 25 years. Our technicians are IICRC-certified for trauma and crime scene work, follow the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), wear full PPE, use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants, and verify every job with ATP testing. When you call, you reach people who do this work and coordinate directly with the county coroners, law enforcement, and insurers across the region. Just as important: no one who loved the person should have to be the one who cleans up.

Working With County Coroners and Local Police

In Kentucky, each county has an elected coroner who investigates sudden, violent, and unexpected deaths, working with city police, the county sheriff, and the Kentucky State Police. Across South Central Kentucky that includes the Barren, Simpson, and Hardin County coroner’s offices, depending on where the death occurred. 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 with law enforcement, a property manager, or a family member, so you are not asked to be present.
