We begin biohazard remediation immediately — no upfront payment, no delays. Our technician reviews your insurance policy on-site and provides a professional assessment of likely coverage. If we believe your policy will cover the work, we proceed and bill your insurer directly. In the rare event the insurer denies or limits coverage, you pay nothing — we absorb the cost. This is our commitment to protecting you from financial stress during an already devastating situation.
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.
Most calls from Evanston are one of three things: an unattended death in an apartment building near Northwestern’s campus or along the lakefront corridor, a home healthcare accident in a residence serving an elderly patient, or a property manager dealing with a biohazard situation in a rental unit. Occasionally a crime scene after police have cleared the property. Whatever you are dealing with, you do not need to explain the whole story on the phone. Tell us the address and what happened in general terms, and we handle the rest.
Evanston’s older housing stock matters for your cost estimate. The vintage apartment buildings near campus — built in the 1920s and 1930s with plaster walls and original hardwood — absorb biological material more deeply than newer drywall. A death discovered after several days in one of those buildings will cost more to remediate than the same situation in a newer condo. CSCleanup Chicago provides a written estimate after assessing the specific building — not a number over the phone that changes when we arrive.
Unmarked vehicles on every Evanston residential call — not something you have to ask for. Team arrives in plain clothing. Equipment in unmarked containers. Building management and neighbors are not told what we are doing unless you specifically instruct us to share that information.
When police are done and you are cleared to call us, the Cook County Medical Examiner still needs to release the scene before cleanup can begin on any death-related situation. We contact them directly — you do not have to.

If you discovered a hoarding situation in an Evanston property — whether it is a family member’s apartment or an estate you are responsible for — the most important thing to know is that you do not have to manage the process alone. CSCleanup Chicago handles it all: Cook County Medical Examiner coordination if a death is involved, biohazard cleanup where the contamination requires it, full cleanout of accumulated material, and a written inventory of every item of value found. Nothing leaves the property without your authorization.
Cook County Medical Examiner coordination if a death is involved. Biohazard cleanup where contamination exists. Full general cleanout. Written inventory of every item of value found — cash, documents, jewelry — returned directly to whoever you designate. Nothing removed without your authorization.
CSCleanup Chicago coordinates timing directly with your chosen funeral home — so you are not managing two separate professional relationships during the worst days of your life. The Illinois Funeral Directors Association maintains a licensed funeral home directory for all of Illinois at ifda.org. The funeral home takes custody of remains first, then cleanup begins.
Risk-Free Assurance applies. We do not start until you have agreed to the scope and the cost in writing.
Every unattended, suspicious, traumatic, and violent death in Evanston goes through the Cook County Medical Examiner — not a county coroner. Scene release from this office is required before cleanup can legally begin. You do not manage this call. We do.

Multi-day situations — advanced decomposition, meth lab decontamination, extended crime scene remediation — can make a property temporarily uninhabitable. When that happens, CSCleanup Chicago coordinates temporary housing so you are not figuring that out on top of everything else.
Evanston is well connected. Purple and Red Line access puts displaced families in Chicago hotels within 25 minutes. Extended-stay options near Davis Street downtown. Airbnb alternatives throughout Evanston’s residential neighborhoods for families who need a home environment during a multi-day cleanup.
For qualifying violent crime situations, temporary lodging costs may be covered under Illinois Crime Victims Compensation. We document those expenses for the CVCA claim at the same time as the cleanup.
