Unattended Death Service Overview
Occasionally there are instances in which a person passes away alone in their home, vehicle, or other location, and they are left undiscovered for an extended amount of time. This is known as an unattended death. The longer a body is left to break down, the process of putrefaction will begin, resulting in fetid odors, bacteria, and numerous unsafe health conditions requiring professional biohazard remediation.

Unattended Death Cleanup Process
For an unattended death cleanup, we are generally expecting a situation where the body has reached advanced deterioration. The rate of decomposition can be affected by multiple factors including temperature, humidity, weather, cause of death, and the location where the death occurred. Once the area has been cleared by the police department, our cleanup process can begin.
It is our responsibility to ensure that your home is safe to re-enter at the completion of our service, which means ensuring the whole home has been disinfected, sometimes down to the very foundation of the home. Our cleaning protocols are current with the IICRC, and we perform ATP testing to validate that our standards have been met or exceeded.
