Has a crime, an accident or an unattended death left a mess in Franklin? Police and paramedics do not clean up afterward, so you need cleaners to remove blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials. Call (877) 812-4220.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988.
Some messes cannot be handled with a mop and household cleaner. Blood, bodily fluids and decomposition soak into porous materials and can carry disease, which is why Franklin property owners call Franklin Biohazard Cleanup Help for biohazard cleaning.
Families are never asked to see or touch anything. The affected area gets cleaned from start to finish, then the result is checked before the property is handed back. This work is available around the clock in Franklin, WI and across Milwaukee County.
Only about 34% of homes in Franklin were built before 1980, so most cleanups involve newer drywall and flooring, though fluids can still soak through to the subfloor. About 23% of homes in Franklin are rented, so many cleanups involve owners working directly with their own homeowners insurance company.
Why the strict steps? Because dried blood, tissue and decomposition fluids can still carry disease. Cleanup technicians in Franklin follow the OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, and treat every stain as a hazard until it has been properly disinfected.
The finish matters as much as the cleanup. After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers run, odor equipment works on the room, and the crew checks every surface, with ATP testing available to confirm the result.
