What it is

What Is Unattended Death Cleanup?

Losing a loved one is already difficult, and dealing with the condition of the property afterward can make the situation even more overwhelming. When a death goes undiscovered for a period of time, natural decomposition can leave behind biological contamination and odors that require professional attention.

Our team is here to take care of the cleanup for you, carefully addressing affected areas while treating the home, belongings, and circumstances with compassion and respect.

Health Risks

Health Risks Following an Unattended Death

When a death goes undiscovered for a period of time, natural decomposition can leave behind bodily fluids, biological material, and other contamination that may affect the surrounding environment.

Contamination can spread into flooring, furniture, belongings, and other porous materials, sometimes reaching areas that are not immediately visible.

Professional cleanup helps identify and properly address affected areas while reducing the risk of exposure and cross-contamination.

Common bloodborne pathogens

Blood and certain bodily fluids should be treated as potentially infectious because they may contain bloodborne pathogens, including:

Hepatitis B (HBV)

A virus that infects the liver and may cause either a short-term illness or a chronic infection.

Hepatitis C (HCV)

A virus that infects the liver and may lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.

HIV

HIV attacks the immune system and can progress to AIDS when left untreated.

How contamination spreads

Biological Contamination

Bodily fluids and biological material may affect surfaces and materials surrounding the area.

Hidden Contamination

Fluids can penetrate flooring, carpet, furniture, drywall, and other porous materials beyond what is immediately visible.

Cross-Contamination

Improper handling can transfer contamination to hands, footwear, tools, belongings, and unaffected areas of the property.

Insects & Other Pests

Decomposition may attract insects and other pests that can spread biological material beyond the immediate area.

Decomposition Odors

Persistent odors may remain when affected materials or contamination beneath the surface have not been properly addressed.

Unattended death cleanup: your questions answered

Why can't I just clean and air it out?
Decomposition fluids and odor soak into porous materials and the air. Without certified removal and molecular deodorization, both come back. It is also a biohazard.
Is it covered by insurance?
In most cases yes. We handle your homeowner or commercial policy claim whenever possible.
Do I need to be there?
No. With your permission we handle everything and keep you updated. You do not have to enter the space.
How fast can you respond?
We're on call 24/7 and typically respond within 90 minutes across Los Angeles County.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. We are licensed, insured and IICRC-certified, following EPA standards.

We'll take care of it, with compassion.

We are ready 24/7. Call for an immediate response, or request a free estimate.
