(Des Plaines, IL) – A man passed away in his Des Plaines home, and sadly his death went undiscovered for over a week. Aftermath technicians called to the scene found biological fluids affecting the ceramic tiles in the kitchen. They also noted another pool of fluids covering the bathroom floor. The fluids ran under the toilet and sink, back to the base of the wall. As a first step, the Aftermath crew removed the congealed and hardened fluids and scrubbed the tiles in both rooms to see if they could be salvaged. However, because of the amount of time that had passed, the tiles were unable to be saved. Using a hammer and pry bar, they pulled up tiles in the kitchen, and used a sledge hammer to carefully break and remove all floor tiles in the bathroom. The toilet and sink were also extracted, and the affected areas were broken away and discarded as biohazardous waste. Finally, a HEPA air scrubber was used to filter odors out of the home, leaving the property safe and sanitary for future occupation.
If you or someone you know was a victim of a crime, Aftermath has collected some resources to help guide you through this process.

"From my initial contact with Jeanine to the final walk through with Jason, Tristan, Marquel and Fritz Aftermath services has been tremendously upfront, kind and compassionate after the death of my sister. During such a difficult time I never would have thought that I would walk away with five new friends. I am forever grateful."

"Lacey and her team are amazing. We never experienced anything like this they walked us through process explained everything upfront even cost and went above and beyond. They were professional, compassionate and informative from minute they showed up even on a holiday. Sorry to say this hope I never need their services again but if we did Aftermath will be our 1st call. Thank you so much."

"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!!"
