What makes unattended death cleanup different
The affected area may involve biological residue, bodily fluids, decomposition, contaminated materials, and persistent odor. Addressing odor without removing or remediating the underlying source is not a complete solution.
A practical cleanup process
After the scene has been released, the property can be assessed to identify affected materials and determine what can be cleaned and what may need removal.
- Identify the primary affected area
- Check surrounding porous materials
- Remove materials that cannot be adequately remediated
- Clean impacted surfaces
- Address residual odor after source remediation

You can call with the basic facts of the situation. We can discuss the type of property, known affected areas, and the next step without requiring you to know technical cleanup terminology.
Important: If there is immediate danger, an active crime scene, or a medical emergency, call 911. When law enforcement is involved, cleanup should begin only after the scene has been released.
