Crime Scene, Death, and Biohazard Cleanup in the St. Louis Metro
If you need crime scene cleanup, death cleanup, or biohazard cleanup anywhere in the St. Louis Metro, call ACT Cleaners at (888) 477-0015. Our veteran-owned, IICRC certified team responds 24/7 across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, and Franklin County, arriving in unmarked vehicles so your neighbors never know why we came.
The St. Louis Metro is our deepest Missouri service area. From the city neighborhoods to the older suburbs of north county, the estate homes of west county, and the fast-growing communities along the I-70 corridor in St. Charles County, we have restored homes and businesses through some of the hardest days a family can face. We give you an honest arrival window based on your location, and we verify every space is safe before the job is done.
ACT Cleaners is expanding our technician team across the St. Louis Metro right now, which means faster help for families on both sides of the Missouri River.

Crime Scene Cleanup Across the St. Louis Metro
After police release a scene, the cleanup belongs to the property owner, not the city or the county. Blood and biological material do not stay where you can see them. They travel into carpet padding, subfloor, baseboards, and wall cavities, and force from a violent incident can carry contamination across an entire room. Wiping surfaces does not make a space safe.
Our technicians establish containment, remove every porous material that absorbed contamination, treat and verify the structure underneath, and document the work for your records and your insurer. We coordinate directly with detectives, property managers, and families across the metro so you are never stuck translating between agencies while you are grieving.
Whether the scene is a brick four-family in the city, a ranch home in Florissant, or a new build in Wentzville, the standard is the same: trace the contamination, remove it, and prove the space is safe.
Biohazard Cleanup Services in Greater St. Louis
Biohazard cleanup is its own discipline, and it covers far more than crime scenes. We handle unattended death discoveries, suicide cleanup, blood spills from accidents and medical events, sewage backups, sharps and needle removal, and infectious disease decontamination throughout the St. Louis Metro.
Every biohazard job follows OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols. Contaminated materials are removed, packaged, and transported as regulated medical waste, and affected structures are cleaned, disinfected, and tested rather than simply deodorized. If a room smells fine but was never properly remediated, it is not safe, and we see the consequences of shortcut cleanups often enough to warn you about them honestly.
Death and Unattended Death Cleanup
An unattended death changes a home in ways families should never have to handle themselves. Decomposition affects flooring, walls, and air in a way that requires professional remediation, and in the St. Louis Metro’s deep stock of older housing, contamination reaches into hardwood and subfloor quickly.
We work quietly and respectfully, coordinate with the medical examiner’s office and your insurance company, and restore the space so it can be a home again. Many families tell us afterward that the hardest call they made was also the one that helped the most. That call is (888) 477-0015.
Water, Fire, and Mold: Complete Home Disaster Response
When disaster hits a St. Louis Metro home, ACT Cleaners can help with more than biohazard. Our teams handle water damage mitigation after burst pipes and flooding, fire and smoke damage cleanup, and mold remediation when moisture has gotten into walls and crawl spaces.
It is one call and one team. Families dealing with a fire or a flooded basement face the same questions as families after a loss: what is salvageable, what does insurance cover, and who can we trust in our home. We answer all three, and our teams are ready to help at (888) 477-0015.

Who Investigates a Death in the St. Louis Metro?
The St. Louis Metro is served by medical examiner offices rather than elected coroners. St. Louis City and St. Louis County each operate their own medical examiner’s office, while St. Charles, Jefferson, and Franklin Counties share a Regional Medical Examiner’s Office.
Why does this matter to you? Because a scene cannot be cleaned until the investigating office releases it. We coordinate with these offices regularly, we know how the release process works, and we can usually tell you what to expect while you wait.
Missouri Crime Victim's Compensation and Cleanup Costs
Missouri’s Crime Victim’s Compensation program, established under Chapter 595 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, can help eligible victims and family members with expenses following a violent crime, and crime scene cleanup can be among the covered costs. We help families across the metro understand what documentation the program requires.
We also bill homeowner’s insurance directly in most cases, which means many families pay far less out of pocket than they feared. Ask us about both options when you call.
Frequently Asked Questions: St. Louis Metro
Who pays for crime scene cleanup in the St. Louis Metro?
In most cases homeowner’s or property insurance covers professional crime scene cleanup, and Missouri’s Crime Victim’s Compensation program under Chapter 595 may also help eligible families. We bill insurers directly and walk you through the paperwork.
How fast can ACT Cleaners arrive in St. Louis?
We respond 24/7 across the metro and give you an honest arrival window based on your exact location when you call (888) 477-0015. We do not quote one-size-fits-all times, because a call from downtown and a call from rural Franklin County are not the same drive.
Do you clean up after an unattended death?
Yes. Unattended death cleanup is one of our most common calls in the St. Louis Metro. We remediate the affected structure, handle odor at the source, and coordinate with the medical examiner and your insurer.
Is biohazard cleanup different from regular cleaning?
Completely. Biohazard cleanup follows OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols, requires regulated medical waste handling, and ends with verification that contamination is actually gone, not just out of sight.
Does ACT Cleaners handle water damage cleanup in the St. Louis Metro?
Yes. Our teams provide water damage mitigation after pipe breaks, appliance failures, and basement flooding throughout the metro, including drying, removal of damaged materials, and insurance documentation.
Can you clean up fire and smoke damage?
We do. Fire and smoke cleanup covers soot removal, odor treatment, and clearing damaged contents so restoration can begin. When disaster hits your home, one call to ACT Cleaners covers it.
Do you remove mold in St. Louis area homes?
Yes. Mold remediation is part of our disaster response services. We find the moisture source, contain the affected area, remove mold-damaged materials, and treat the structure so it does not come back.
My family member died by suicide. Can you help us?
We are deeply sorry you are facing this. Our team handles suicide cleanup with complete discretion and care, and you do not have to be present while we work. If you or someone you love is struggling, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 by call or text.
Will the neighbors know why you are there?
No. We arrive in unmarked vehicles with plain uniforms, and we schedule around your needs. Discretion is a core part of how we work in every St. Louis Metro neighborhood.
