In Will County, death investigations go through the county coroner. That office, often with local law enforcement, controls the scene until the property is released to the family or the owner. We are not the coroner and do not work the scene. Request Help is for after the release, when someone needs a cleanup company.

Until that release, do not enter to clean, do not throw belongings away, and do not post images of the scene. If someone is in danger, call 911. If you or someone with you is in crisis, call or text 988.

Heat and humidity speed odor in a closed Joliet home. Cold slows what you can see.

Joliet housing includes older brick houses near downtown and newer homes toward the west side. Courtyard buildings and two-flats are common here. The owner or the property manager usually arranges common areas. If a tenant still has the right to occupy the home, that person should be part of the request. This is not a ruling on the lease. After a scene is released, the person who controls the property usually requests the referral. That is often the owner or the manager for a rental, and a family member when the household still controls the home. A tenant should not be expected to wipe blood or decomposition residue. Neither one is a reason for the family to do the cleanup.

Illinois treats a former meth lab as a distinct hazard from ordinary blood cleanup in Joliet. The partner follows state health direction and can provide a clearance or completion report from the cleanup company.

An independent partner that accepts a Joliet referral typically contains the area, removes porous materials it is prepared to take, disinfects what can stay, and arranges disposal through its own channels. Odor work comes after the source is gone. That company does the work and sends its own invoice. We are not paid by the customer. There is no local office in Will County.
