Crime scene, suicide and death cleanup in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
When something terrible happens in a home or business, you should not have to clean it up yourself. We remove blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials after traumatic events, quietly and carefully, so the space can be used again.
If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 911 first. If you are struggling, call or text 988.

What we clean up
Every situation is different, but the work always has the same aim: remove what is contaminated, disinfect what can be saved, and hand the space back in a condition you can live or work in.

How it works
Most people who call us have never needed this kind of service before. Here is what happens, in order.
You call or order online
Tell us what happened, where, and whether police or the medical examiner have released the property. You do not need to describe anything in detail.
We assess the space
We look at every affected room and material, including places that are easy to miss, such as under flooring and inside upholstery.
You get a written scope
It lists what will be removed, cleaned and disinfected, and the factors behind the price. Nothing starts until you agree.
We do the work
Contaminated materials are removed and packaged for proper disposal. Remaining surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and odor sources are dealt with.
You get the space back, with documentation
We walk you through what was done and provide photos, the scope and an itemized invoice you can share with an insurer or property owner.
While you wait
- Close the door to the affected area if you can do so without touching anything.
- Keep children and pets away from it.
- Don't try to clean blood or fluids yourself, especially from carpet, mattresses or furniture.
- Don't throw anything away yet; your insurer may need to see it.
- Write down questions as they come to you. We will go through them.
Where we work
We are based in Nashville and travel to homes and businesses in 15 Middle Tennessee counties, from Clarksville to Columbia and Dickson to Lebanon. There are no branch offices; the same team comes to you.
Plain answers for hard days
We have written 40 guides for families, property owners and businesses, covering what happens next, what insurance may ask, and how to make decisions about belongings and property.
Common first questions
Who cleans up after a death or crime in a home?
Police, firefighters and the medical examiner do not clean the property. Once they release it, the cleanup is the responsibility of the owner or family, who can hire a company like ours. What crime scene cleanup involves explains who does what.
How much does it cost?
There is no honest flat price, because the work depends on how many rooms and materials are affected, how long they were exposed, and how much has to be removed. After an assessment you get a written scope that explains the price. Online orders start with a $2,000 initial deposit, which is not the final price. How pricing works.
Will insurance pay for it?
Sometimes. Some homeowner, renter, landlord and commercial policies cover some of this work, and some don't. Only your insurer can say. We provide photos, a written scope and an itemized invoice you can submit. If the cleanup follows a crime in your home, Tennessee's Criminal Injuries Compensation program may pay up to $3,000 toward cleaning. Insurance questions to ask.
How soon can you come?
Call and we will tell you honestly. Timing depends on our schedule, how far you are from Nashville, and whether the property has been released and is safe to enter. We do not promise arrival times we can't keep.
Do I need to be there?
Not necessarily. Many families would rather not be. We can arrange access with you, a relative, a property manager or an executor, and keep you updated by phone.
Can you save personal belongings?
Often, yes. Tell us what matters to you before work starts, such as photographs, papers, jewelry or keepsakes. We set aside items that can be cleaned and explain honestly when something can't be.
Talk it through with us
Call any time, day or night. Tell us what happened and we will explain what comes next, without pressure.
