Scenes We Handle in De Pere
ACT Cleaners is equipped for the full range of biohazard situations in De Pere and the surrounding area. Each calls for trained technicians, proper containment, and verified decontamination, not ordinary cleaning.
- Infectious disease decontamination. We decontaminate properties exposed to infectious disease using EPA-registered hospital-grade products and proper containment.
- Accidents and medical events. A fall, an injury, or a sudden medical emergency can leave significant blood and biological material that requires proper decontamination, not ordinary cleaning.
- Homicide and violent crime scenes. After law enforcement releases the scene, we remove all biological material and contaminated materials, decontaminate the structure, and restore the space, coordinating with investigators and your insurer.
- Hoarding and gross filth. We approach hoarding cleanouts with patience and respect, addressing the biohazards, pests, and structural issues these scenes often hide.
- Unattended and undiscovered deaths. When a death goes unnoticed, decomposition spreads into the structure. We trace the full extent, remove what cannot be saved, and eliminate odor at its source.
Decomposition and Odor Cleanup in De Pere
Odor after a death is not a surface problem, and no amount of air freshener resolves it. The gases and fluids released after a death move into porous materials, settle into subfloor and wall cavities, and saturate furnishings, and the smell returns until the source is reached and removed. ACT Cleaners provides decomposition and unattended death cleanup across De Pere and Brown County, tracing the full extent, removing what cannot be salvaged, and treating odor at its source with the right equipment so it does not come back. Search death cleanup near me; we answer any hour.
Blood Cleanup in De Pere
Blood is more than a stain. It can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and those risks are not always visible. Cleaning a significant blood spill is not a job for household products, which do not disinfect to a safe standard and leave contamination behind in seams, grout, and subfloor. ACT Cleaners provides blood cleanup and decontamination across De Pere and Brown County, following the federal OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and verifying the space before we leave.
Suicide Cleanup in De Pere
If you have lost someone to suicide, we are so sorry. You should not have to think about cleanup on top of everything you are carrying, and that is the one part you can hand to someone else. ACT Cleaners handles suicide and trauma scene cleanup across De Pere and Brown County quietly and completely, with unmarked vehicles, trained technicians, and full respect for the person you lost. We coordinate with the authorities and your insurer so you are not making those calls yourself.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time, day or night.
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.
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.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.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 De Pere and which crew is closest. You get an honest window, not a number we cannot keep.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.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.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 Wisconsin Crime Victim 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
- 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.
- Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Blood and bodily fluids can carry pathogens that are not always visible.
Please do not
- Do not run fans or the central air. The same airflow that clears a smell can move contamination through the home.
- Do not let an insurance worry stop you from calling. Most policies cover this work, and we bill the carrier directly. We can check your coverage before any work begins.
- 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.
- Do not open windows to air out an odor. It can pull airborne contamination into other rooms and the HVAC system.
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 De Pere and Brown County
De Pere sits just upriver from Green Bay on the Fox River in Brown County, a historic and affluent suburb home to St. Norbert College, pairing a preserved downtown and older riverfront neighborhoods with growing residential development as the Green Bay metro expands south.
De Pere combines older riverfront and historic-district homes with newer suburban subdivisions and a steady student and rental population tied to St. Norbert College. In older construction, biological material soaks into the structure rather than staying on the surface; student and rental calls require particular discretion. Our technicians assess the actual property and verify the space before leaving.
We serve De Pere and the surrounding Brown County communities in the Green Bay metro, coordinating directly with the Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office, the De Pere Police Department, landlords, families, and insurers. From a historic riverfront home to a campus-area rental or a new subdivision house, we bring the same certified crew and verified standard.
De Pere ZIP codes served include 54115, and the surrounding Brown County communities.
We also serve nearby Green Bay, Appleton, Kaukauna, and the surrounding communities. See our full Wisconsin crime scene cleanup coverage.
How Death Investigation Works in Brown County
In Brown County, death investigations are handled by the Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office rather than an elected coroner. Wisconsin counties choose between a coroner system and a medical examiner system, and both carry the same authority under Wisconsin Statutes Section 979.01, which governs the reportable deaths that must be investigated. 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 De Pere 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 Wisconsin Crime Victim Compensation Program, run by the Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of Crime Victim Services under Chapter 949 of the Wisconsin Statutes, allows compensation for reasonable and necessary crime scene cleanup costs up to 1,000 dollars for eligible victims, within an overall maximum award up to 40,000 dollars, and pays after insurance. We help you file. Reach the program at 1-800-446-6564.
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.

De Pere Cleanup: Common Questions
How fast can you reach De Pere?
We answer the phone around the clock and dispatch the moment you call. We are often on-site within hours, depending on where in Brown County 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 De Pere?
Brown County uses the Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office under Wisconsin Statutes Section 979.01. 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 work with St. Norbert College-area rentals in De Pere?
Yes. De Pere has a student and rental population tied to St. Norbert College alongside its historic and newer neighborhoods. We return units to safe, leasable condition discreetly and quickly, bill insurance directly where coverage applies, and document the full scope for the property file. Call (888) 477-0015.
Do you handle odor, or just visible contamination?
Both. Odor is a sign that biological material is still present, often where you cannot see it. We address it at the source rather than masking it, because masking always fails over time.
How much does crime scene cleanup cost?
Cost depends on the size of the scene, the type of contamination, and how far it has spread into the structure. In most cases it is covered by homeowner’s or property insurance, and we bill the carrier directly so families rarely pay out of pocket. We give an honest assessment before any work begins, with no obligation.
How long does a typical cleanup take?
It depends on the scene, from a few hours for a contained area to longer for a larger or older property where contamination has migrated. We give a realistic estimate after assessing it, and we never rush the verification step.
