Chicagoland Entrepreneur Rises above Family Tragedy, Starts Anew with Unlikely Business

What happens after death? Lake in the Hills firm cleans up scenes of violence and tragedy, provides comfort to families.


Lake in the Hills, IL--April 12, 2011--

Have you ever wondered what happens after the police and CSIs are done with a crime scene or what to do when tragedy strikes? Mark Levi did, and one day he decided to learn all about it—first hand.

With the launch of his new business, Crime Scene Trauma Specialist LLC, or CST Specialist, Mark hopes to ease the pain of victims and their families by offering a service few can. It's known as decontamination and remediation. What that means is Mark Levi and his crew take care of the mess violence/tragedy leaves behind. They clean the area, remove all biological and other foreign objects and substances, and attempt to return the scene to as close to normal as possible, so the families of loved ones whose lives ended unnaturally or unattended won't be forced to endure any additional trauma . Most people do not even realize that 95% of their services are covered by homeowner and property insurance.


Mark knows a thing or two about emotional trauma. A few years back, a close family member did the unthinkable, taking his own life and leaving the survivors to pick up the pieces. Mark didn't want any other family to have to go through what his did, to stumble through the gut wrenching process of cleaning up the scene of violent, untimely death. Mark felt that if he could help others avoid that grief, that somehow it would alleviate some of his own.

"Everyone endures tragedy in his life," laments Mark. "But it wasn't until I was personally involved in the tragedy of a suicide that I realized that families just cannot handle this on their own. They need help. That's where we come in."

"There's no violent or staggeringly messy situation we cannot handle. We have helped with everything from suicides, homicides, and car accidents, to massive cleaning projects involving hoarders and elderly people who have died with no one knowing about it for days, even weeks. It's not pretty, but when someone is needed to step in and help, we answer the call."

Crime scenes and other violent, messy situations are not just sad or disgusting; they are also potentially hazardous, even lethal. Blood-borne pathogen and Air-borne pathogens of all kinds can lurk at a tragic scene: HIV, Hepatitis B, and Mad Cow Disease, just to name a few. Highly dangerous bacterial spores can infect anyone who enters a garbage-packed hoarder house. We make these places safe to use again," says Mark.

CST Specialist not only takes calls in Lake in the Hills, but in all of Chicagoland, even Wisconsin and Indiana. "We recognize that what we do is fairly unusual, and we are one of only a few firms in the region doing it. We're not afraid to travel to help families and others in need of support, and clean-up of course."

Crime Scene Trauma Specialist LLC is a licensed, insured Allstate-Registered, and CTA Registered firm. All employees are specialists, fully trained in Bio-hazardous scene clean-up and control. Family-owned with competitive pricing, they are extremely discreet in all their dealings, public and private.

"We treat everyone the same--like family. There's no job too dirty or too overwhelming. We will not let you down," added Mark. "We are the second line of defense after 9-1-1."
