WHY CHOOSE CODE THREE

I could list all the standard claims every other company uses: that we’re fast, honest, discreet, licensed, trained, and insured.

Which we are.

But to me, those are the bare minimum qualifications.

At Code Three Trauma Clean, this work is personal. We proudly serve the same communities where we grew up, went to school, worked, and wore the badge as police officers and firefighters. This isn’t just another service area to us—these are our neighbors, friends, and families.

Unlike large national franchises chasing top-dollar jobs, or storm restoration companies that added biohazard cleanup as an afterthought, this is all we do—and we do it with purpose. I’ve seen firsthand the pain and confusion that comes after tragedy: grieving mothers, isolated grandparents, and families already heartbroken being hit with outrageous cleanup quotes because they called the first big company that popped up on Google.

I started Code Three because no family should feel abandoned or taken advantage of during their worst moments. We provide honest, respectful, and professional cleanup at fair prices—because that’s what our community deserves.

When you hire Code Three Trauma Clean, you’re not just getting a cleaning tech — you’re getting a first responder who knows your neighborhood and the people in it. You’re getting someone who will follow up after the job is done, who won’t cut corners to be the cheapest, but is still the most affordable because I’m not in this to get rich — I’m in it to help families.

I’ve spoken to techs from big-name companies who’ve admitted they’re told to repackage biohazard waste into regular garbage bags and dump them at the landfill to save costs. That will never happen with us. We do things right — legally, ethically, and thoroughly — every time.

And something I see far too often? People too embarrassed or afraid of being judged to reach out for help.

Let me be clear:

We never judge. Ever.

Whether it’s hoarding, suicide, unattended death, or any other tough situation, you will always be treated with dignity and compassion. It doesn’t matter what you throw at us — we’ve seen worse. We’re here to help, not to shame.

When you call us, you won’t get a call center or a sales pitch. You’ll get someone who understands, cares, and shows up ready to help — because that’s what our community deserves, and that’s what Code Three stands for.

Who we are

As a first responder, I’ve encountered some of life’s most challenging situations—crime scenes, hoarding environments, and traumatic events. Time and again, people have asked me, “What happens after you leave?” For years, I didn’t have a clear answer—until I experienced it personally.

When a loved one passed away, I was the one left to manage the aftermath. Grieving and overwhelmed, I faced the daunting task of sorting through a home filled with a painful mix of memories, personal belongings, and biohazards. The lack of guidance and support during that time made the process even more isolating.

That experience profoundly changed me—and inspired the creation of this business. I founded this company not just to provide specialized cleaning services, but to offer compassion, respect, and dependable support when people need it most. No one should have to navigate these moments alone or worry about the cost of getting help. My mission is to be a trusted presence during your most difficult days—restoring not only spaces, but also peace of mind in the midst of hardship.
