  • Final inspection of the cleaned area before it is handed back

Unattended Death Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Jupiter Farms, FL

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.

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.

Who pays when a tenant dies in a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

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 much does unattended death cleanup cost?

The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how large the affected area is and whether fluids reached the subfloor. Furniture and odor treatment also change the total. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.

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.
