Entrepreneurship & Leadership

Hi, I’m Cory Chalmers—entrepreneur, biohazard remediation expert, and founder of one of North America’s leading crime and trauma scene cleanup companies. I’ve built my career at the intersection of business, service, and some of life’s most difficult moments—helping families, property owners, and communities navigate situations most people never expect to face.

Steri-Clean

As the founder of Steri-Clean, I’ve spent decades developing systems, training teams, and scaling a business that specializes in biohazard cleanup, hoarding remediation, and trauma response. What started as a small operation has grown into a trusted national service, built on compassion, professionalism, and the ability to step in when people need help the most.

Television & Public Recognition

Many people recognize me from the television series Hoarders, where I’ve worked alongside families to restore safe living environments and support lasting change. That experience has deepened my understanding of the human side of the work—where empathy, patience, and trust matter just as much as technical expertise.

Speaking & Mentorship

Beyond operations, I’m passionate about educating others on the realities of the industry. As a speaker and mentor, I share insights on building unconventional businesses, leading teams in high-stress environments, and creating systems that can scale without losing heart.

Purpose-Driven Work

At the core of everything I do is a belief that even the toughest situations can be handled with dignity, respect, and care. Whether it’s growing a business, helping a family reclaim their space, or supporting a team through challenging work, I focus on doing things the right way.
