Crime Scene Cleanup in Oshkosh

In Appleton and the rest of Outagamie County it goes to the elected Outagamie County Coroner, and in Fond du Lac to the Fond du Lac County Medical Examiner.

How Biohazard Cleanup Works in Wisconsin
Three county offices, one release
Depending on where the loss happened, the Winnebago County Medical Examiner, the Outagamie County Coroner or the Fond du Lac County Medical Examiner handles the death investigation. We start only after the scene is released, and we can work from the release your family or property manager receives.
Wisconsin infectious waste rules
Under Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources rule NR 526, infectious waste must be segregated and treated before landfill disposal, and larger monthly shipments fall under a transportation licence. We package blood-soaked materials separately and never place them in household trash.
Cold weather and sealed homes
In winter, closed windows and heated rooms hold odor and slow airing out. Fluids can soak through carpet, pad and subfloor, and heating ducts can carry smell into other rooms, so the cleanup includes materials beneath the surface and the air.
How We Handle Crime Scene Cleanup in Oshkosh
- You call (920) 881-5482. We talk privately, confirm that the county medical examiner or coroner has released the scene, and agree on a time that suits you.
- Technicians arrive in protective gear, in an unmarked vehicle if you ask, and seal off the affected rooms before touching anything.
- We remove blood, fluids and soaked carpet, pad, subfloor or drywall, and package it as infectious waste for lawful disposal.
- We clean, disinfect and verify every surface, then treat the air and ductwork to take out odor.
- We document the work for your carrier or property owner and arrange rebuilding of any removed flooring or walls.

Situations We Clean, and What To Do First
- A death discovered after several days, in a house, apartment or rental
- Blood or fluids left after an injury, assault or suicide
- A scene the medical examiner or coroner has released to the family
- Neglect or hoarding with waste, animal contamination or pests
- Needles or drug residue in a rental unit
- Odor that remains in a home after a death
Stay out of the room, keep children and pets away and do not try to clean blood or fluids yourself. Wait for the medical examiner, coroner or police to release the scene, then call (920) 881-5482. We will speak with you directly and handle the rest.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
Scope depends on how much fluid there is, how long it sat and what it reached. A small spot on tile or vinyl may take a few hours. Fluid that reached carpet pad, subfloor or the wall behind a bed needs those materials removed and replaced.
Most scenes finish in one to two days. Long-undiscovered deaths and hoarding cleanups take longer because of odor, volume of waste and heating or air ducts that need treatment.
What We Clean and Restore After a Biohazard Scene
- Carpet, pad, hardwood and subfloors
- Mattresses, upholstery and contents that can be saved
- Drywall, baseboards and wall cavities
- Bathrooms, kitchens and tile
- Heating and air ducts that carried odor
- Rental units and common hallways
Insurance and Documentation for Crime Scene Cleanup
