Scene Clean

What Scene Clean does

Scene Clean, Inc. is a Minnesota-based biohazard remediation and trauma cleanup service company founded in 2012 by Nate Berg, a retired paramedic. The company provides professional decontamination, biohazard removal, and property restoration services across more than 15 service categories, including crime scene cleanup, suicide and unattended death cleanup, homicide cleanup, hoarding cleanup, meth lab and fentanyl remediation, tear gas cleanup, infectious disease cleanup, squad car decontamination, and drug testing. Its underlying technology relies on OSHA-compliant safety protocols, IICRC S540 standards, regulated medical waste disposal procedures, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) testing to verify post-remediation microbial levels against a 30 RLU threshold. The company holds ABRA, IICRC, IICRC WRT, EPA Lead, Amdecon, and BBB A+ certifications, and claims to be Minnesota's only ABRA-certified biohazard cleanup firm.

Scene Clean operates a direct-to-consumer service business with 24/7 phone intake, online service request forms, and direct insurance carrier coordination. Revenue is generated through one-time professional service engagements priced between $2,000 and $12,000+ depending on scene complexity, with most jobs covered by homeowners, renters, or landlord insurance. The company serves residential property owners, landlords and property managers, law enforcement and public safety agencies, and real estate professionals across Minnesota. It operates from three offices — Osseo (headquarters), Woodbury, and Bloomington — and has completed over 4,000 jobs since founding. The business is privately held, family-owned, and women-led, with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors.

Revenue model

1. Biohazard and Trauma Cleanup Services: Scene Clean generates revenue through one-time professional biohazard and trauma scene cleanup services. Services are priced based on the scope and complexity of each scene (small cleanup ranges from $2,000-$3,000, moderate contamination $3,000-$6,000, large/complex scenes $6,000-$12,000+). Most services are covered by homeowners or property insurance, and the company works directly with insurance carriers and adjusters to streamline claims and payment. Revenue is primarily one-time project-based rather than recurring.
