Absolutely Amazed

These people really do care about their community and the people they help. I am absolutely amazed by the help they gave me, so thankful that they helped me. If you need help, these people will do just that and then some. If I could give them 10-plus stars I would.

Exceeded My Expectations

SCU exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Brandon was so quick to respond to all my questions, provide me a quote, and got my dad’s home clean, like within 48 hours of reaching out, he was finished. My dad’s house looked better than I’ve ever seen it and they took great care of his belongings and kept me updated along the way. They made sure I felt supported and unjudged and even reached out a couple times to check on my dad’s health. Definitely recommend them!

Truly Exceptional

During an exceptionally difficult time following an unexpected death, Mr. Catchen provided truly exceptional support. His team responded immediately, and at no time did he press us for money or guarantees while we were grieving. He offered professionalism, candor, and much-needed guidance during the worst of times. I strongly recommend seeking help from Mr. Catchen.

Forever Grateful

SCU was recommended to us and I can not say enough about them, I contacted them and their response time was very fast. They came to the address where their services were needed, we discussed the process of cleaning that would be taking place, they were very thorough with all of the details, and they got started right away. Not to mention the amount of respect and sympathy they showed my wife and I, I truly cannot say enough about them. We will be forever grateful to them and will recommend them to anyone we can.

Professional & Supportive

Brandon and the SCU services team were great to work with. We hired them to do a cleanout of a hoarding situation. They were so professional and kind while we were working through a situation that was very overwhelming for us. We didn’t know what to do, but they did and made it easy. Their crew was polite, professional, kind, and extremely hard working. The work they did in a day would have taken us at least a week to complete. Brandon and his crew had clear communication with us as we worked through the job. They were great.

Anne

True Lifesavers

Brandon and his hardworking crew from SCU Services were truly a lifesaver in an overwhelming home hoarding situation. They provided professional, compassionate, prompt, non-judgmental services. They completed all the work exactly as promised, securing a dumpster and other cleaning supplies, arriving on schedule, removing mountains of trash from the home in one amazing day of work, and cleaning hard surfaces. We appreciated them traveling so quickly from out of state to help us.

Linda

Kind & Understanding

Having to travel from Florida to Kentucky to handle an unexpected loss to our family, we were fortunate to meet Brandon from SCU. He and his crew were able to help us through a difficult time. Brandon was understanding and kind as he helped us navigate through a difficult situation. Five stars does not come close to the professionalism and understanding Brandon shared with our family.

Alexandra

Life-Changing Help

I’m incredibly grateful for Brandon and his team at SCU; they helped me turn my life around. They were very sincere and very thoughtful during the entire process. I don’t think I’ve ever met such understanding people. They did amazing work and I highly recommend their services.

Solomon

Incredible Transformation

I’m incredibly grateful to SCU Services for their outstanding work on my historic building in downtown Cincinnati built in 1890. This place had accumulated over 100 years of coal dust, biohazard animal waste, and decades of old garbage. They didn’t just clean; they transformed it! Their team expertly tackled the difficult task of removing layers of grime, animal debris, and years of neglect. They even boarded up the windows and secured the building, laying a strong foundation for future restoration.

Lindsey

Compassion in Crisis

SCU Services came into my life when I never knew there were services like this that existed! Eric met me with such sympathy as I met the tragedy of my stepmom passing away and in a scene I never imagined we could find her in. The SCU team was so professional, working with insurance, helping us understand options, and ultimately caring above all. They went above and beyond with a few extra favors and our family is forever grateful.

Outstanding Team

Corinne

Caring & Trusted

I cannot say enough good things about SCU Services. After my mother’s passing, they helped clean out her home with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. This was an incredibly difficult time, and they handled everything with care and a personal touch that truly meant a lot to me and my family. They made the process seamless and respectful, ensuring that everything was taken care of with thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

Brittaney

Smooth & Professional

In a time of need that we never imagined, SCU couldn’t have made it easier on us. Our son took his own life. Eric and Brandon (and all their contractors) were extremely sympathetic, caring and respectful of the situation while we were grieving the loss of our son. We weren’t aware services like this existed. They handled our insurance claim for us and communicated very well with us when all of their contractors were going to show up. They all did quality work and made our experience with them as easy as it could be.

Matt

Fast & Effective

SCU Services is incredible—so professional, helpful, personable and kind. So very thankful to have connected with them. Eric and Brandon moved mountains to meet an impossibly tight deadline and were reliable, prompt and always had a positive attitude through it all. They truly go above and beyond to help families in crisis—it’s clear they care about their clients. They were a source of compassion and calm in the midst of a very stressful situation. I felt like I could count on them every step of the way. I was so impressed by them.

Claire

Easy & Compassionate

Helped me out in multiple ways. Cleared out a cluttered and junked-up house in one day. Then, dealt with damage from a water pipe bursting. Drywall work, flooring, carpet, paint, plumbing… pretty much every room in the house needed work done and they took care of it. They are also good people whose good work helped me get a handle on my life again. I cannot thank them enough, and highly recommend them to anyone else.

Nathaniel

Professional & Prompt

I called SCU to help me deal with a very tough situation and they responded with absolute professionalism and compassion. They handled every aspect of the job and some that I didn’t even realize were needed. I was pleased with the outcome and the price and would recommend them without reservation. Thank you for your help!

Ethan

Highly Recommended

Eric was absolutely wonderful with his helpfulness going into my brother’s apartment and gathering his belongings after his passing, which was just too hard for me to deal with as anyone could understand. His professionalism is 5-star, his helpfulness is 5-star, and most of all, being that very special type of person that would do this for another takes a ‘very’ special human being that cares that I could trust 100%. This company is by far the best of it’s kind. Thank you so much!!!

Indica

Reliable & Caring

These guys did a fantastic job; They helped us in our time of need. Our friend passed away in his condo, but was not found until 1-1/2 weeks later. Needless to say, there was quite an odor in the condo. Brandon and his crew came in quickly and removed the odor, allowing us to proceed with getting it ready to sell, and followed up with me to make sure we were satisfied with their work. Call these guys if you need them.

Dennis

Total Peace of Mind

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to use SCU Services, LLC. I brought them in to help clean out the biohazard type mess my relative left behind when he passed (hoarding environment, passed away in home). Brandon was quick to respond, flexible, a professional, and friendly every step of the way. He was respectful of the house while cleaning and went above and beyond to assist me while sorting through parts of the hoard.

Marissa

True Professionals

I cannot recommend this company enough. Brandon was compassionate, consistently available, and so helpful. Needing this company usually comes from a very difficult situation and Brandon and his team made it easy. Finding and using SCU was such a blessing for me, I’m forever grateful for the level of care they poured into my home & I’m amazed at how well they did the job.

Lauren

Dependable Service

Brandon and his team at SCU Services did an amazing job! He was so professional, helpful, and kind during a very difficult time for our family! He went over and above to make sure he met our needs with time and he even worked directly with our insurance company to save me the time and headache. I highly recommend Brandon and his team!

Kelly

Exceptional Care

I recently used SCU to resolve an issue in the lower level of my home. Brandon and Eric brought a level of care and sincerity to the project that I have not seen with other companies. They followed up consistently and fought the hard battles with insurance to ensure my project went smoothly. Their team showed up when they said they would and did quick, clean work. I would not hesitate to suggest SCU to anyone who needs their type of services.

John

Honest & Compassionate

The guys were fantastic from start to finish in a very difficult time. Not only did they do a great job, but they made this part of the process seamless. I was able to unload my stress while they ensured they would handle everything when dealing with the insurance company. They showed me they genuinely cared and that goes a long way. Thank you Brandon and Eric!

Kyle

Genuine Care

We had a deep freeze go out with a ton of meat in it and didn’t know what to do. The smell and mess was something I couldn’t and didn’t know how to deal with. I searched the internet and found SCU and called. Brandon didn’t hesitate. He came out immediately and had a solution for my problem. He worked quickly and was very professional. I greatly appreciate what he did for my family and would highly recommend SCU. Thanks again Brandon!

Josh

Incredible Support

When I needed this service, my call was answered immediately. The staff took time to listen to my situation, asked questions and sent someone to inspect the next day (they offered to come that same night but I wasn’t available). The job was completed on time and within the quoted budget by a team of professional, compassionate hard working people who were sensitive to the family’s grief. I highly recommend SCU; we would never have been able to get the work needed done without them.

Cindy

Caring Hands

I found SCU services by searching the internet. When you need biohazardous/ forensic cleanup services like they provide, well, it goes without saying that you’ve had a tragic event occur in your life. Brandon of SCU understood this. After I contacted SCU he took complete control of the clean up and made sure that it was done quickly and without any added stress to my wife or myself while dealing with our own grief. If you have serious events that happen in your life that require such services then I highly recommend SCU services.

John

Exceptional Team

Brandon was very up front with me and gave me directions to what to do with a car that was in an unattended death. Unfortunately, I’m not the one who makes these decisions. He called to follow up with me and I really think he was the one for the job. I wish him and his partner well. Thank you for your professionalism.

Janice

Support You Need

I highly recommend this company. During one of the saddest times in our life, the passing of my father, Eric and his team were respectful and great communicators and worked with the time frame we needed. I felt they were honest and I trusted them in our home. They worked efficiently and we are pleased with the outcome.

Charity

Beyond Just Service

SCU Services helped me through a very difficult time. Brandon was so thorough with explaining and walking me through the whole process. He was there and/or in contact with me from the first day. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional individual or a better company to meet my needs. Brandon treated me more like a friend than a customer. I can’t explain what that meant to me. There truly are good decent people still in this world. I’m forever grateful.

Julie

Support When It Mattered

SCU Services were excellent in my time of need when my uncle passed away. I found them courteous and helpful. They were able to assist in the cleanup of my uncle’s house and point me to additional services that I required. This was especially helpful since I am not a resident of the area where my uncle passed. Their pricing was fair and reasonable. I have no problem recommending their team and services to others for assistance for the challenges that arise with the sudden passing of a family member.

About SCU Services

Brandon Catchen, a 3rd generation Funeral Director, started SCU in 2018 working nights and weekends for families who  had no answers for biohazard cleanup. In realizing the need and value of a service like ours, he partnered with Eric Northup,  a former pastor, in 2019 to grow SCU Services beyond Northern Kentucky.

From the beginning, both owners agreed to build this company based on complete integrity, full-transparency,  and a willingness to do whatever it takes for families to get the best service possible.

Over the years SCU Services has grown to a leading biohazard cleanup serving the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,  and Tennessee. Our certified staff and team are extensively trained to safely remove all biohazardous materials from  any scene, handle the complexities of insurance, and are able to do the renovation for their customers if they so choose.

We take great pride in quickly responding to families with 4 fully stocked vehicles and 6 certified crew chiefs  all capable of remediating biohazard according to regulations and standards.

When you call SCU, you are calling a family owned company and speaking directly to an owner who cares and is  extremely knowledgeable in this industry. A company who has grown throughout the years through their reputation,  trusted referral sources, and high ethics in an industry that can often be predatorial.
