Free Assessment – Before any actual cleaning takes place, a senior technician will come in and assess the extent of the damage. The sights and odors of an unattended death are highly distressing, and we want to help insulate you from that experience whenever possible. We will give you an idea of what work will be required and retrieve any documents you may need immediately. If the loss requires an insurance claim, we will help you file the claim through the insurance company. If the loss is at an apartment, we will work with the apartment complex and provide them a breakdown of the extent of the damage.

Remove Contamination Source – Typically, blood, bodily fluids, and odor-causing bacteria will have impacted multiple items and features within the vicinity of the body. This includes personal belongings, furniture, and the structure of the home. In instances where there is sealed flooring that is undamaged, we expect to be able to clean and disinfect the flooring without any removal. In any situation where blood or bodily fluids could have seeped to the subfloor, the flooring will need to be removed. In extreme cases, we may have to remove the subfloor to properly rid the property of biohazardous materials.

Decontamination & Cleanup – After the source of the contamination has been removed and prepared for transportation to an approved medical waste disposal facility, the rest of the cleanup can begin. We utilize a combination of techniques, tools, and chemicals to ensure the whole home has been treated and is free of the severe health hazards that are present due to unattended death.

Odor – The decomposition process releases a noxious odor that can impact an entire home. The cleanup process will reduce the level of odor in the home, and we will perform additional odor treatment services as needed including machine treatments, fogging, and occasionally offsite laundry services.
