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 should I ask a death cleanup company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what is included in the price and whether you get documentation for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?
Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?
In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.
What should I not do after finding a death at home?
Call 911 first and do not touch anything. Do not try to clean fluids yourself, because they can carry germs. Do not vacuum or use household bleach. Wait for the authorities, then ask a cleanup team how to proceed.
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.
