Common Questions About Dead Body Cleanup in Aventura, FL
Can a home be sold or rented after an unattended death?
Yes, once it has been properly cleaned and any needed repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
What is considered an unattended death?
An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
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.
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.
How long does death cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. A cleanup team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
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.
