FROM GRIT TO GROUNDBREAKER: tHE FORENSICLEAN STORY

We specialize in biohazard remediation, unattended death cleanup, encampment clearance, and hazardous waste removal — but our story runs much deeper than the services we offer.

OUR ROOTS

Before Forensiclean was born, Dawn McGuire ran her own cleaning business for over a decade. Her brother, Aaron Burt, was a contractor, building and remodeling homes across Northern California. Then came a spark — the film Sunshine Cleaning. It planted a seed.

With no roadmap, no industry experience, and nothing but personal vehicles and a relentless work ethic, they launched Forensiclean in 2013. Armed with News & Review ads and the determination to say yes to every opportunity, they cleaned crime scenes, hoarded homes, encampments, human waste, sharps — anything that helped them learn and grow. They undercharged, over-delivered, and built their knowledge job by job. 

Every cleanup made them better.

WHO WE ARE NOW

Today, Forensiclean is recognized as a leader in forensic cleaning and trauma scene remediation. We employ over 60 people and operate a fleet of 35 service vehicles, 3 tractors, and full hauling capability across California. 

We’ve grown, but we’ve never outgrown our values.

Our team supports public safety and community dignity everyday — responding to everything from encampment cleanups in Sacramento to hazardous waste along Union Pacific rail lines, and even federal land remediation for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
