What Happens After You Call

The hour after you call is the part nobody prepares you for. Here is exactly how it goes, so you know what to expect and what you do not have to handle yourself.

  1. You reach a real person, any hour
    You call (888) 477-0015 and talk to someone on our team, not an answering service and not a voicemail. We listen first, then ask only the questions we need to send the right crew.

  1. We tell you what to do right now
    Before we arrive, we tell you how to stay safe, what not to touch, and which rooms to stay out of. If law enforcement is still on scene, we coordinate around their timeline.

  1. We give you an arrival window
    We dispatch as soon as you call and are often on-site within hours, depending on where you are in St. Louis and which crew is closest. You get an honest window, not a number we cannot keep.

  1. We handle the scene
    Our IICRC-certified technicians contain the area, remove biological material and contaminated materials, clean and disinfect with EPA-registered hospital-grade products, and address odor at the source rather than masking it.

  1. We verify before we leave
    We do not call a job done until the space is checked and confirmed clean. You are not left wondering whether something was missed.

  1. We document everything for your claim
    We photograph and itemize the work for your insurance carrier and, where a violent crime is involved, for the Ohio Victims of Crime Compensation Program. You should not be doing paperwork during the worst week of your life.

Before We Arrive: What To Do and What Not To Do

Please do

  • Write down your insurance carrier and policy number. If it is a home or rental, we can start the claim for you.
  • Make a list of anyone who needs to be contacted. We can coordinate with the funeral home, landlord, or family on your behalf.
  • Turn the thermostat down if you can do so safely. Cooler air slows biological activity and odor until we arrive.
  • Call us with questions, even small ones. There is no such thing as a wrong question at a time like this.

Please do not

  • Do not try to clean blood or biological material yourself. Household cleaners do not disinfect to a safe standard, and the exposure risk is real.
  • Do not disturb anything if police are still investigating. Wait for law enforcement to release the scene. We coordinate with them on timing.
  • Do not run fans or the central air. The same airflow that clears a smell can move contamination through the home.
  • Do not use bleach on a large biological spill. Bleach breaks down on organic material before it fully disinfects. It is not a substitute for proper remediation.

How We Support You Through It

This is not only a cleaning job. It is someone’s home, someone’s loved one, and one of the hardest days of your life. We do this work the way we would want it done for our own family.

  • Discretion. Our vehicles and uniforms are unmarked. Your neighbors do not need to know what happened, and we keep it that way.
  • No judgment. Whether it is an unattended death, a suicide, a hoarding situation, or a crime, we treat you and the home with respect. We have seen it before, and we are here to help, not to judge.
  • Care for belongings. We handle personal items, photographs, and keepsakes with care, set aside what can be saved, and never discard anything that matters without asking you first.
  • We coordinate the hard calls. We work directly with law enforcement, the coroner or medical examiner’s office, funeral homes, and your insurer so you are not the one making every call.
  • We move at your pace. If you need a moment, you take it. We are there to carry the weight, not to rush you.

Serving St. Louis and the City of St. Louis

St. Louis is a city of distinct, tightly built neighborhoods, from the brick rowhouses of Soulard and Benton Park to the historic homes of the Central West End and the dense blocks of north and south city. That older masonry and brick construction shapes biohazard work here in ways newer suburbs never see.

St. Louis holds one of the largest concentrations of pre-war brick housing in the country, and in that construction blood and biological material travel into mortar joints, hardwood, plaster, and basement structures rather than staying on the surface. A surface wipe leaves contamination and odor behind. Our technicians trace the full path through the masonry and structure, remove only what cannot be salvaged, and verify the result before leaving.

The city is also a dense rental and multi-family market, and we work with landlords, property managers, and families across every neighborhood, coordinating with the City Medical Examiner’s Office, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, and insurers. We return a unit or a home to a safe, documented condition discreetly, with unmarked vehicles, in a city where neighbors are close.

St. Louis ZIP codes served include 63101, 63103, 63104, 63108, 63110, 63111, 63116, 63118, and 63139, and the surrounding the City of St. Louis communities.

We also serve nearby Florissant, Chesterfield, St. Charles, and the surrounding communities. See our full Missouri crime scene cleanup coverage.

How Death Investigation Works in the City of St. Louis

In the City of St. Louis, death investigations are handled by the City of St. Louis Medical Examiner’s Office rather than an elected coroner, operating under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 58.720. The office investigates deaths that are sudden, violent, or unexpected and determines the cause and manner of death. Cleaning and restoring the property afterward is not a government service; it falls to the family or property owner, and that is the work ACT Cleaners does.

We Handle the Insurance, So You Do Not Have To

Most homeowner’s and commercial property policies in St. Louis cover biohazard and trauma cleanup as part of the dwelling coverage, and the cost of cleanup is rarely something a family should be paying out of pocket. Here is how we take it off your plate.

  • We document the scene with photographs and a line-item scope before and after the work, which is what carriers need to approve a claim.
  • We bill your carrier directly wherever coverage applies, so in most cases you are not paying up front.
  • We speak the carrier’s language and can talk to your adjuster directly, which usually moves the claim faster than a homeowner can on their own.
  • For violent crimes, we help with state compensation. The Ohio Victims of Crime Compensation Program, run by the Ohio Attorney General under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2743, reimburses crime scene cleanup for safety up to 750 dollars and pays after insurance. We help you file. Reach the program at 1-800-582-2877.

If you are unsure what your policy covers, call us at (888) 477-0015 and we will help you figure it out before any work begins.

How a Typical St. Louis Call Goes

Illustrative example

  • A property manager in the St. Louis area called us on a weekend after a tenant was found deceased several days after passing. The family was out of state and overwhelmed. Our crew arrived the same day, contained the affected bedroom, removed contaminated flooring and the mattress, decontaminated the subfloor and walls, and addressed the odor at its source. We documented every step for the property’s insurer and had the unit verified clean and ready for restoration within two days. The family never had to enter the room.

How fast can you reach St. Louis?

We answer the phone around the clock and dispatch the moment you call. We are often on-site within hours, depending on where in the City of St. Louis you are and which crew is closest. We give you an honest window rather than a number we cannot keep.

Who investigates a death in St. Louis?

the City of St. Louis uses the City of St. Louis Medical Examiner’s Office under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 58.720. Either way, the office determines the cause and manner of death, and the cleanup of the property afterward is the family’s responsibility, which is what we handle. Call (888) 477-0015.

Do you handle cleanup in older St. Louis brick homes and multi-family buildings?

Yes. St. Louis has a vast stock of pre-war brick and masonry housing where contamination travels into mortar, plaster, and structure rather than staying on the surface, plus dense multi-family buildings. We trace the full extent, contain any migration into shared walls, and decontaminate to a verified safe standard. Call (888) 477-0015.

How fast can you get there?

Is biohazard cleanup covered if there was no crime?

Yes. Coverage does not depend on a crime. Most homeowner’s and property policies cover biohazard and trauma cleanup from an unattended death, an accident, or a medical event. We bill the carrier directly where coverage applies.
