Who We Help

Great Lakes Biorecovery works with individuals, families, property owners, businesses, and public
organizations across Illinois and Wisconsin, with priority response in Lake County and surrounding areas.
Each situation is different, and our role is to provide biohazard and trauma cleanup services tailored to the
needs of the people we serve.
Homeowners & Private Residences
​Facing a tragedy in your home is overwhelming. We handle the cleanup so you don't have to. Whether it's a traumatic event, an unattended death, or a hoarding situation, our team restores safety to your property with compassion and respect.

Hoarding Experts: We specialize in clearing gross filth and hoarding units legally and safely.

Commercial Fleets: Rapid decontamination for rental cars, trucking fleets, and patrol vehicles to get them back on the road.

Total Restoration: We disassemble interiors as needed to remove all biological fluids and odors hidden beneath seats and trim.
Law Enforcement, Coroners & Victim Services

​

24/7 Availability: We answer the phone immediately—no call centers.
-
Evidence Integrity: We respect the scene and cooperate fully with investigators.

Funeral Directors & Crisis Professionals
You support families through grief; we support them through the recovery of their home. We are a trusted extension of your care, ensuring the family’s property is handled with the same dignity you provide at the funeral home.
​
-
Immediate Assistance: We can meet families at the home or coordinate through you.
