A lot of them have plaster walls and old-growth hardwood under the carpet, and we know how to clean them without tearing out more than we have to.
We work with Milwaukee families, landlords, apartment buildings and businesses every week, and we’re proud of that work. See every Milwaukee neighborhood we cover.
In Milwaukee, a lot of our calls start with a referral. A funeral director, a victim advocate or an officer from Milwaukee Police Department gives the family our number, and we take it from there.

Crime scene & biohazard cleanup Milwaukee
What death and crime scene cleanup in Milwaukee really involves
Milwaukee is where BlueReady started, and it’s still where most of our calls come from. The city is a patchwork of very different housing: Polish flats and workers’ cottages on the South Side, upper-and-lower duplexes in Riverwest and Washington Heights, brick bungalows in Sherman Park and on the Northwest Side, converted warehouses in the Third Ward and Walker’s Point, and lakefront high-rises on the East Side. Every one of those buildings handles contamination differently, and we plan each job around the building, not a checklist.
A lot of Milwaukee housing was built before 1940. That means lath-and-plaster walls, old-growth hardwood under layers of carpet and linoleum, plank subfloors with gaps between the boards, and basements with stone or block foundations. Fluids that reach an old floor rarely stop at the surface. We open things up carefully, follow the path the contamination took, and stop the moment we reach clean material, so families aren’t paying for more demolition than the job needs.
Milwaukee also has a lot of renters and a lot of landlords who own one or two duplexes. When something happens in an upper unit, the household below is affected too. We talk to both households, the owner and the family, and keep everyone on the same page so nobody is stuck in the middle of a hard conversation.
What Milwaukee calls us for most
- Unattended deaths in apartments and duplexes, often found after a welfare check
- Crime scene cleanup after MPD releases a home, including fingerprint powder
- Blood cleanup in vehicles, porches, stairwells and common hallways
- Landlord turnovers after a tenant death, with the unit below inspected
Milwaukee cleanup tip from our crew
Old houses hide a lot
Under a lot of Milwaukee carpet is old-growth hardwood, and under that is plank subfloor with gaps. Fluids find the gaps. We pull back far enough to see where it went, not just where it looks wet.
After the police leave in Milwaukee. In the city, MPD may hold a scene longer after a violent crime. Ask the detective for a card. When they release it, we can usually start the same day. What to expect
Who responds in Milwaukee
Summer heat, winter furnaces and festival weekends
Milwaukee’s busiest months for us are July and August. Heat speeds up decomposition, upper flats trap it, and a death that goes unnoticed for two days in a Riverwest duplex in August is a very different job than the same thing in January.
Winter brings its own calls: furnaces that spread odor through every room, and space-heater and carbon monoxide deaths. Summerfest and festival weekends downtown mean more assaults and vehicle cleanups. We staff for all of it.

Professional recommendations
Biohazard and death cleanup tips for Milwaukee homes and businesses
Simple things that make a hard day a little easier.
Write down the MPD case number
Before the officers leave, ask for the case number and the district. Insurers, the DA’s Victim Witness office and Wisconsin victim compensation will all ask for it.
Check the downstairs ceiling
In an upper-and-lower duplex, look at the ceiling and light fixtures of the lower unit. Stains can show up days later.
Don't rent a carpet cleaner
Steam cleaners push fluids deeper into old plank floors and spread odor. Close the room and call us instead.
