What Shapes a Biohazard Cleanup in Wisconsin
Infectious waste rules under NR 526
Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 526 requires infectious waste to be segregated and treated before landfill disposal. Bulk blood and body fluids, and items saturated with them, are presumed infectious, and moving 50 pounds or more a month calls for a licensed transporter. Subchapter II covers records and manifests. We package and hand off contaminated materials accordingly and never put them in household trash.
Deaths investigated by the county
In Waukesha County, the Medical Examiner's Office investigates deaths under Wisconsin Statute 979.01. Cleanup begins only after investigators release the scene. We wait for that release, then work quietly and keep the details private.
Contamination below the surface
Fluids soak through carpet and pad into subfloor, run into gaps in hard flooring and wick into drywall. In a rental, a landlord must disclose known conditions that threaten health or safety under ATCP 134.04, so a property owner should document what is removed. We trace and remove affected materials until clean surfaces remain.
How We Handle Crime Scene Cleanup in Franklin
- Call (262) 294-6366. A calm, private conversation: we ask what happened, whether the scene has been released and what you need, then send a crew in an unmarked vehicle if you prefer.
- Technicians suit up, assess how far fluids have traveled, and photograph the scene before work begins.
- Contaminated materials are removed, segregated and packaged as infectious waste in line with NR 526.
- Surfaces and structure are cleaned and disinfected, and subfloor, walls and air are treated until odor is gone.
- We document the work for the owner, landlord or insurer and, if needed, coordinate rebuilding of removed materials.

When Professional Biohazard Cleanup Is Needed, and Your First Step
- Blood or fluids that have reached carpet, pad or subfloor
- An unattended death with odor or staining
- A trauma or injury scene that police have released
- Needles or sharps left in a rental or vacant property
- Hoarded rooms with waste, pests or spoiled food
- Fluid stains that keep returning through paint or flooring
Stay out of the room, do not touch or wipe anything, and wait until the medical examiner and law enforcement release the scene. Then call (262) 294-6366 and we will take over quietly and explain every step.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
Cleanup after a death or trauma starts with the authorities. In Waukesha County the Medical Examiner's Office investigates deaths under Wisconsin Statute 979.01, and work begins only after the scene is released.
Wisconsin treats biohazardous waste as infectious waste under NR 526, which calls for segregation, treatment before landfill and licensed transport at volume. We handle materials accordingly, and landlords or owners get records they can keep.

Insurance and Documentation for Crime Scene Cleanup
