Unattended Death Cleanup — the problem we remediate

The problem

Decontaminated to a Safe Standard

Affected materials are removed and disposed of as regulated biohazard waste, surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and the odor is addressed at the source — not masked. The space is returned safe and clear.

The approach

Compassion First

We understand these calls come at the hardest time. Our team works quietly, respectfully, and on your schedule, and we’ll walk you through each step so nothing feels overwhelming.

Contain first The affected room is sealed under plastic before any work begins.
Decontaminate Surfaces are cleaned and treated to a standard inside containment.
The rest stays safe Sealed containment keeps the adjoining rooms uncontaminated.
  1. Contain first. The affected room is sealed under plastic before any work begins.
  2. Decontaminate. Surfaces are cleaned and treated to a standard inside containment.
  3. The rest stays safe. Sealed containment keeps the adjoining rooms uncontaminated.
Biohazard work is containment first. The affected area is sealed and decontaminated to a standard before it’s called clean — so nothing reaches the rest of the home.

Common questions

Before You Call, the Honest Answers.

How soon can you come?

We’re available 24/7 and treat these calls with priority and sensitivity. We’ll come when you’re ready and coordinate access gently.

Will the odor be fully removed?

Yes — odor is treated at its source as part of decontamination, not covered with fragrance, so the space is genuinely clear afterward.

Is this covered by insurance?

Unattended death cleanup is frequently covered under homeowner’s policies. We document everything for the claim and can help you navigate it.
