Decomposition Odor Removal and Death Cleanup Services

Removing decomposition odors from a home

Any number of things can cause an odor in the home — trauma involving an unattended death, a crime scene, hoarding or even pets. Pungent and overwhelming odors can become toxic, especially if the source is decomposing biological material.

One of the most challenging situations we face as death cleanup and odor removal specialists is unattended death — when a person dies and is not found for days, weeks, or even months. For the family affected, dealing with the aftermath of a death cleanup can be a grim experience. Considering the difficult and disturbing nature of decomposition, as well as the associated health hazards, remediating the situation should be left to professional trauma scene cleaners like Aftermath Services.

If left untreated, even the smallest amount of bacteria can grow and cause serious physical damage within the home. Airborne bacteria may cause lingering odors which, in addition to being unpleasant, can impact both the safety and well-being of future occupants.

DISINFECTING DECOMPOSITION AND RECOVERING PROPERTY

Aftermath’s local crews are experienced biohazard remediation and death cleaning specialists who wear personal protective equipment and follow approved safety and disinfection procedures to help return the scene to a safe, clean state. Whether you’re looking for death cleanup or odor removal in a home, business, or apartment, Aftermath Services is available 24/7/365 to come assist you.

If required, we will remove personal property and affected structural elements, such as flooring, and dispose of them according to local, state, and federal biohazard waste regulations.

A Certificate of Treatment is issued for full-scopes of work, which can be attached to any bill of sale for the property as a disinfection guarantee. After the death cleanup process is complete, we use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) fluorescence testing, the same technology used by hospitals, to verify a high disinfection level.

We provide unattended death cleanup and death odor removal services to individual families as well as property managers and commercial customers. Aftermath’s expert technicians are available to help you 24/7, so you never have to wait for service.

Landlords and property owners that rent to tenants are more likely to experience an unattended death at some point. Knowing what a dead body smells like is crucial in maintaining the health and safety of not only tenants, but also the physical structure of the apartment unit or building.

If you are a tenant, alert your landlord or property manager of the smell so they can call a professional to remediate the situation.
