Des Moines, IA – An unattended death in an apartment or home can lead to serious concerns for property owners or management. If the death scene is not properly remediated, unpleasant odors may linger and harmful bacteria can permanently damage structures or even the health of future residents. Furthermore, owners of the building where such a death occurred may be held liable for the cleanup. While each state has different requirements, Aftermath possesses the highest level of insurance available to trauma scene cleaners anywhere. We also offer a Certificate of Treatment for additional peace of mind.
When a man died in the living room of his apartment in Des Moines, Iowa, the property owner hired Aftermath to conduct a safe and sanitary cleanup of the unit. First, the Aftermath team of technicians removed a living room carpet, contaminated with biological fluids. After disposing of it as medical waste, they thoroughly cleansed and disinfected the concrete subfloor underneath. In order to certify that the apartment was free of any unhealthy bacteria, they applied a reacting agent to the previously affected areas. When the tests came back clean, they applied a finishing touch and fully deodorized the unit. For this landlord and others, Aftermath’s assistance helped protect the owner’s investment and safely prepare the apartment to be rented again.
If you or someone you know was a victim of a crime, Aftermath has collected some resources to help guide you through this process.

"The Pasadena Aftermath team did an outstanding job. Not only are they a remarkable team, they are also exceptional individuals. Over the course of the week that they were here, we got to know and trust them. They handled this unthinkable situation with grace, compassion, and the utmost respect for the victims. Words will never be able to truly capture the appreciation we have for them. When our world felt like it was hit with a tsunami, your team threw us a life preserver and told us that we will be okay again.The world needs more “Kevins”, “Jamies”, and “Hassens”, who will help lift the burden off of strangers who are facing their darkest days."

"Sterling and Aurelia did much more than clean the scene. They were patient, kind, and very compassionate. They took good care of the property as if it was there own. Sterling and Aurelia communicated with us every step of the way. Their presence alone did much to contribute to the healing process. On top of all that, they did a fantastic job cleaning the house. To be honest, we hated to see them leave. Our family thank them both to the highest degree!!"
