Decomposition Cleanup

Unattended Death Cleanup

After death, if the body isn't discovered for days, weeks, or months, it is known as unattended death. The situation itself is devastating for the deceased's friends and family members. The more traumatic is the fact that unattended death results in speedy decomposition, which makes things more troubling for the family members.

The deceased was once a respectful person and an important part of the community, and that's why, after death, he deserves the same respectful treatment. When it comes to death and decomposition cleanup, simple or traditional household cleaning or even sanitizing the area doesn't help you, irrespective of the family members' belief that they can clean it easily.

Suppose you undertake a cleanup after death independently. In that case, there's a greater chance that you leave behind harmful substances, like odors, gases, pathogens, and bacteria, that can grow into more significant health hazards. If a single bacteria is left on the scene, it has the potential to multiply swiftly, posing risks to the environment of your home or workplace. In the case of airborne bacteria, it not only leads to safety concerns but also causes foul odors, which need professional assistance to be removed. All such harmful substances make a property unsafe for habitation.

Moreover, it's not only about residual hazardous waste following a death that poses health risks; it's about your attachment and relationship with the deceased. No one wants to remember their loved one in such a terrible and traumatic way, where the memories contain only scenes of death and the decaying body. Everyone wants to remember their friends and family's good memories and how they were during their healthy and vibrant life.

As the decomposition occurs in various stages, every stage results in hazardous materials; thus, a professional approach, like 911 Bio &Trauma Cleaners, is required to perform decomposition cleanup so that you can get your property back to its pre-incident condition.

Decomposition Cleanup

It's sad that sometimes people die due to any reason, and their loved ones, even those living in the vicinity, don't find the truth until someone discovers it due to foul decomposition odors. Remember that decomposition is a normal phenomenon and starts within an hour of death (even less than five minutes), irrespective of the reason behind death. So, whether it's home, office, or any other place, there are several reasons behind unattended death and decomposition, like

●     Violent crime like murder

●     A person died in a hoarded house

●     suicide

●     Falling and tripping

●     An individual living alone in a remote area

●     A person with an existing health condition

●     Sudden heart attack, brain hemorrhage, etc

After the death of a person, their cells start deteriorating and dissolving into other basic elements. Our digestive system has bacteria and enzymes that start breaking down tissue and cells after a person's death and turn them into liquid.

These liquids, in addition to blood, will seep into the stuff around the dead body. There are bacteria in these fluids that not only contaminate the surfaces but also cause odor and staining. The leaked fluid from the body penetrates porous materials like carpets and fabrics. In addition to these, concrete, drywall, and wood are also porous; thus, baseboards, flooring, and walls, as well as everything in the area, get contaminated after coming into contact with the fluids.

Moreover, the body produces gases that spread in the room and leave a film on windows, doors, ceilings, or walls. As these gasses disperse through microscopic holes, the whole property will soon be trapped in the odor. Decomposition also leads to bug infestation; thus, the more advanced stage of decomposition the body reaches, the more unsafe and unhealthy the house becomes for the residents, so it is harder and also ethically illegal to rent, sell, or live on the property.

Although the pain is endless, people still can't deny the importance of cleaning after death because decomposition and toxic odors pose serious health issues.

What 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners Clean During Decomposition Cleanup

During the process of body decomposition, the body breaks down and spreads different types of contamination in the vicinity. As a proper after death cleanup is essential, it's important to know what types of contaminants you may find on the crime scene that you have to clean after decomposition.

●     The first contaminants are bloodborne pathogens. Blood not only causes staining on different surfaces, but the one coming out of wounds has bacteria and viruses like HIV or hepatitis, which remain on the scene until properly cleaned. Remember that if you come into contact with a small virus or bacteria, you may get an illness. So, a professional dead body clean up job will save you from such infectious diseases by removing seen or unseen blood spots to make your property safe and clean to live again.

●     Not only blood but all types of bodily fluids, like urine, brain fluids, feces, etc, contain pathogens and cause health issues and stains. Certain substances can cause damage to surfaces over time. Mostly, accidents and deaths cause bodily fluids, but in case of unattended deaths, the body decay also releases these fluids, which can also pose a risk. Our priority is to thoroughly disinfect and sanitize these fluids to prevent any potential harm.

●     The next one is gases, released as a result of decomposition and entering into the air. These gases can create a thin layer on surfaces in the room and spread airborne bacteria throughout the property. Our experienced team will not only professionally handle these gases but also make sure that they can't spread any kind of disease.

●     In addition to gases, decaying bodies also release intensely unpleasant odors. As bodily fluids and gases spread in the area, they also carry the odor. Even after the body removal, the lingering odor remains there until you hire a professional to neutralize it properly and safely. 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners have all the required odor-elimination tools and cleaning agents to eliminate these odors completely.

The blood, tissue, bodily fluids, and other contaminants are difficult to clean, especially with everyday household cleaning methods. Cleaning becomes more difficult in decomposition because, in that case, the material remains on the scene for a longer period of time. Even in some situations, advanced cleaning methods by professionals and new technology aren't able to disinfect and sanitize the area. Thus, all we can do is remove or replace the affected walls, floors, or ceilings to keep your living space liveable and infection-free. 

Our Process for Decomposition Cleaning and Restoration

Cleaning decomposing bodies requires careful attention and a thorough approach. First, we ensure the safety of our team by taking appropriate precautions and securing the premises to prevent any cross-contamination. Then, we tailor our cleaning process to suit the specific requirements of each situation.

●     Remove stains and objects: Removing the blood, tissue, and bodily fluids isn't enough; that's why we dispose of all the physical-biological objects after packing and marking and other contaminated materials like clothing, mattresses, carpets, etc. Our professional team cleans the ceiling or walls, floor, and the deceased belongings or the things at the crime scene that can be cleaned. If the materials are porous and cannot be cleaned, our team has one solution: replace them with new ones.

●     Sanitize and Disinfect: Even after cleaning, harmful bacteria, fluids, and pathogens can linger on surfaces and in the air. In order to remove any resilient pathogens, we use various tools like biocides, antimicrobials, air scrubbers, and detergents. To ensure that there are no remaining bacteria, we employ medical-grade testing to identify and eliminate them.

●     Deodorization: As decomposition causes foul odors, our team removes it properly with high-end technology. 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners professional team employs various treatments to eliminate the decomposition scents.

●     Restoration: 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners' utmost priority is to clean the area entirely; however, if there is severe contamination and there is no other way than removing the objects, then they carefully remove and dispose of all contaminated hardwood, carpets, sheetrock, or any other structural elements and replace them with new one to restore your home to make it liveable again.

Types of Properties We Work With

Death and decomposition are natural processes, but things go wrong when the dead body isn't discovered for some time and decomposition starts. However, once the body is discovered, the authorities manage to take the body either in doubt of crime or for burial, but removing the leftovers of crime scenes like blood, bodily fluids, tissue, and sometimes bone, and resulting property damage is the responsibility of the home or property owners.

Property owners aren't able to perform decomposition cleanup because they have no proper knowledge, techniques, tools, or experience. Unattended deaths and decomposition involve biohazard materials, and state laws governing the disposal of waste and transportation make their cleaning illegal; thus, only professional and licensed teams can do it, like 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners. 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners perform proper handling and disposal of biohazardous materials to the following customers.

●     Unattended deaths and decomposition occur in single-family homes. It's either your home, a friend's, or a family member's home. Maybe a tenant died in a rented property, and the decomposition started. In that case, it's difficult for anyone to live in that area, and the property owners are bound to clean the homes to make them liveable again.

●     Other properties we handle include condos and apartments. Most of the time, property managers discover unattended dead bodies in their apartments after neighboring tenants notice the foul odor, which is a sign that decomposition has been started for days or weeks. Immediately removal of the dead body and decomposition cleanup is necessary. That's why we arrive at the scene within 2 to 4 hours after the call and make the property reusable again for future tenants.

●     The next one is businesses, hotels, and other places where 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners offer their services.

The best part of 911 Bio & Trauma Cleaners is its discreet service. We prioritize your privacy; that's why we come in logoless vehicles and quietly do our job of cleaning and disinfecting the property so that you get proper time to heal and no harm is done to your property and your reputation.

24 Hour Emergency Death and Decomp Clean Up Near Me

After the discovery of unattended deaths or decomposed bodies, delaying the cleaning isn't the right thing to do because of several reasons.

As decomposition starts rapidly, the more time you waste, the more tragic and unhealthy it will become. Leaving the remains in place for a longer period allows stains and odors to become more stubborn, fluids to seep into the floor, and acids to damage paints, furniture, and other surfaces. It also gives bacteria more time to spread and exposes those nearby to potential harm.

Watching a decaying body is also emotionally traumatic, as people don't want to be there with the deceased person, especially during the early decomposition. People can't bear the pain that the scene creates as it is particularly hard to witness. This situation shows how the timely service of a skilled professional is so important to minimize the emotional impact of the situation.
