Crisis Clean Team Named Most Innovative Small Company of the Year in the 2025 Best in Biz Awards
December 2nd 2025- Crisis Clean Team, a Minnesota-based and women-owned biohazard and environmental remediation company, has been recognized in the 2025 Best in Biz Awards as the Most Innovative Small Company of the Year. Winners were selected by a panel of judges from leading national outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and USA Today, making the program one of the most respected independent business awards in North America.
​
Crisis Clean Team received this honor for its leadership in drug decontamination throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. The company has established a higher standard for responsible, science-supported remediation that prioritizes safety, clarity and compassion.
​
What distinguishes Crisis Clean Team is its precision-guided, preservation-forward approach to restoring properties affected by drug contamination. Instead of turning immediately to full tear-outs, the team begins with a detailed evaluation to understand how contamination traveled through the structure. From there, technicians apply targeted decontamination methods that thoroughly address affected areas while preserving as much of the property as possible. This approach reduces unnecessary demolition, prevents excessive rebuild costs and returns homes, rentals and commercial spaces to safe use more quickly. Testing is used to support the process by providing verified documentation for clients, counties and insurers.
“We built Crisis Clean Team to bring dignity, clarity and real solutions to people in some of the most overwhelming moments of their lives,” said Amber Kramer, Founder and Owner. “Innovation in our industry means taking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that restores safety without creating additional hardship. This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to doing what is right for every property and every family we serve.”
​
As a women-owned business with a team trained in trauma-informed care, crisis response and environmental remediation, Crisis Clean Team has earned a reputation for pairing technical expertise with compassion. The company continues to be a trusted partner for families, property owners, counties, law enforcement and real estate professionals across Minnesota and the Midwest.
