Unattended Death Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Indialantic, FL

Does hot weather make the problem worse?

Yes. Heat speeds the changes that cause fluids and odor, and a closed home can hold strong smells. The cleanup steps stay the same, but acting soon after the property is released helps keep the odor from spreading further.

Can I clean up after a death myself?

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and soaked carpet or padding holds odor deep below the surface. Cleanup technicians use protective gear and equipment you probably do not have. Leaving it to a team also spares you from the sight.

How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?

It varies with the size of the home and the amount of belongings. A cleaned and sorted house can take days to weeks. Biohazard cleanup comes first when the death was unattended, and the sorting follows once the home is safe.

Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?

Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that is the landlord's decision, not the crew's.

Will the smell go away on its own?

Usually not. Odor comes from fluids that soaked into carpet, padding, subfloor and walls. Opening windows or using sprays only covers it for a short time. The source has to be removed and the air and structure treated.

What happens to the carpet and furniture?

Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
