Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in Cartersville, GA
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 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.
Who cleans up after a dead body is removed?
A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.
What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?
Start with safety. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first. Then set aside papers, photos and valuables, sort the rest by room and book hauling. An estate cleanout team can do the heavy work while the family makes decisions.
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.
