Deceased Body Decomposition Cleaning

In the unfortunate event that a friend, loved one, or neighbor passes away in a home, it is important for a reputable biohazard service provider to remove the dead body before decomposition occurs. Dead body decomposition causes an extremely foul and off-putting odor.  This odor can cause extreme nausea in inhabitants of a room or space that contains or has once contained a dead body.  The odor can attach itself to anything in the room that is fabric-based including, but not limited to:

• Carpets
• Padding
• Couches/Sofas/Recliners
• Beds/Mattresses
• Sheets/Blankets/Pillows
• Curtains
• And many other items containing fabric

A certified team of highly trained technicians must be called upon to properly clean up after a cadaver has been removed. Just like most other restoration services, each situation has its own unique characteristics and challenges. Whether trauma has occurred or natural death has claimed a person's life, varying levels of decay can cause serious damage to the property if it is not handled quickly and efficiently.

Dead body decomposition cleanup is especially necessary in a trauma case. Blood and other bodily fluids must be handled with extreme caution during the cleanup process. It has been proven and documented in many crime scene cleanup articles that viruses like the HIV and AIDS viruses can linger in decomposing bodies and blood for up to 16 hours after the time of death. When dead body decomposition cleanup occurs, certified technicians enter the biohazard site with personal protective equipment like goggles, gloves, masks, respirators, and coveralls. The technicians cut up all affected items and dispose of them in regulated boxes which are disposed of with extreme caution under the highest of scrutiny. Next, the affected area is deep cleaned with EPA and OSHA-approved chemical bio-washes to ensure the odor from the microorganisms causing decomposition is fully eradicated. A certified biohazard professional should be consulted to answer any questions about crime scene cleanup. Call us today for decomposition cleanup!
