When a death goes undiscovered for a period of time, decomposition creates serious biohazards that require professional remediation. Our technicians safely restore the space, eliminating all contamination and odors.
Whether you have lost a family member, a tenant, or a neighbor, this is a difficult situation. We approach every unattended death cleanup with respect for the deceased and compassion for those affected.
Unattended deaths present unique challenges that require specialized training and equipment:
Decomposition releases bodily fluids that can seep into flooring, subfloors, and wall cavities, creating serious health hazards.
Decomposition odors penetrate porous materials and cannot be eliminated with standard cleaning products.
Flies and other insects are attracted to decomposition and can spread contamination to other areas.
Fluids may damage flooring, carpeting, furniture, and building materials that must be removed and replaced.
We evaluate the extent of contamination, including areas not immediately visible. Fluids often spread beneath flooring and into wall cavities.
We isolate the affected area to prevent cross-contamination during cleanup.
All contaminated materials including carpeting, padding, subfloor sections, and affected furniture are carefully removed.
Hospital-grade disinfectants eliminate all biological contamination from remaining surfaces.
Industrial ozone generators and hydroxyl machines neutralize decomposition odors at the molecular level.
ATP testing confirms all surfaces are free of biological contamination before we consider the job complete.
We provide guidance on any repairs needed to restore the property to usable condition.
If you have lost a loved one, we are sorry for your loss. We handle the cleanup completely so you do not have to enter the space. We can preserve belongings that are important to you and coordinate with funeral homes or estate attorneys as needed. You focus on your family - we take care of the rest.
If you are a landlord or property manager, we understand you need the property restored as quickly as possible. We work efficiently while maintaining thoroughness, provide documentation for insurance claims and liability protection, and can coordinate with contractors for any structural repairs needed.
Decomposition creates biohazards that standard cleaning cannot address. Bodily fluids seep into porous materials and harbor dangerous bacteria and pathogens. Professional remediation ensures the space is safe for future occupants. Additionally, decomposition odors cannot be eliminated without specialized equipment.
The timeline depends on how long the death went undiscovered and the extent of contamination. A recently discovered death may take 8-12 hours. Deaths that went undiscovered for weeks may require multiple days of work, including structural material removal and replacement.
Many homeowner's and renter's insurance policies cover biohazard cleanup. If you are a landlord, your landlord policy may cover cleanup and lost rent during remediation. We work directly with insurance companies and provide all necessary documentation.
We work with families to identify items of sentimental or monetary value. Items that were not directly contaminated can often be cleaned and saved. We treat all belongings with respect and return salvageable items to the family.
In Texas, landlords are responsible for ensuring a rental property is habitable. This includes professional remediation after an unattended death. You cannot simply repaint or replace carpet - proper biohazard cleanup is required. We can work with your timeline and provide documentation for your records.
