Lake County is one of the most diverse counties in the Chicago metro — Waukegan and North Chicago in the east, the North Shore affluent communities along Lake Michigan, the inland suburbs of Mundelein and Vernon Hills, the Chain O’Lakes communities in the north, and rural areas near the Wisconsin border. Wherever in Lake County you are when something happens, our team is on-site in 35 minutes or less.
Lake County has 52 incorporated municipalities plus 18 townships and significant unincorporated areas. Every one of them is within our active service area. One call to (888) 629-1222 covers your address regardless of which village, city, or township you fall in. We identify the correct jurisdiction and coordinate with the Lake County Coroner, Lake County Sheriff, or local police department directly.
We respond to crime scenes, biohazard situations, unattended deaths, suicide cleanup, medical accidents from at-home care, trauma scenes, hoarding properties, and infectious disease decontamination throughout all of Lake County. Premium carriers like Chubb and PURE on the North Shore, standard homeowner policies throughout the inland suburbs, non-standard carriers in higher-density communities — we work with all of them. The Risk-Free Assurance protects every client regardless of coverage level.

Every type of traumatic situation that requires professional remediation — we handle it throughout Lake County. Crime scenes, biohazard contamination, unattended deaths, suicide cleanup, medical accidents from at-home care, trauma scenes, hoarding properties, vehicle biohazard, infectious disease decontamination, fentanyl and drug residue. IICRC S540 certified, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 compliant, licensed medical waste disposal on every job. Every job ends with a written clearance certificate.
Crime scene cleanup and biohazard remediation are not the same as cleaning. Bloodborne pathogens survive on surfaces for days. Decomposition compounds penetrate walls, subfloor, and HVAC systems. No household product eliminates what we eliminate. And none of them produce the documentation your insurer, your property manager, or your health department requires. We do.
Every remediation project includes professional documentation for insurance carriers, property managers, and health departments. Our work follows IICRC S540 standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 requirements, licensed medical waste disposal procedures, and concludes with a written clearance certificate.
Most families who call us don’t know insurance covers this. Most Illinois homeowner and renter policies include biohazard and crime scene cleanup coverage. We review your policy on-site, contact your adjuster directly, and handle every document your carrier needs. Call us before you call your insurance company — how that first call is framed determines your entire claim.
We begin immediately — no upfront payment, no delays. We review your insurance policy on-site and give you a straight assessment of likely coverage. If we believe your policy covers the work, we proceed and bill your insurer directly. If the insurer denies or limits coverage after the job is complete, you pay nothing. We absorb the cost.
Coverage assessment is based on our professional review and industry experience; it is not a guarantee of final insurer approval. Exclusions, policy limits, or other factors may apply. This is not an insurance product or warranty. A Risk-Free Assurance Claim Form is issued to qualifying customers documenting their individual case.
Every Lake County crime scene or death-related cleanup begins with scene release from law enforcement and the county Lake County Coroner. We coordinate that process directly on every applicable call in Lake County. You don’t make those calls while managing a loss.
The Lake County Coroner investigates all deaths in the county — including all 52 municipalities and unincorporated areas. Scene release from the Coroner is required before any death-related biohazard cleanup can begin. We contact the Coroner’s office directly on every death-related call throughout Lake County.
