Death Cleanup FAQ for Keasbey, NJ: Cost, Insurance and Timing

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 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.

How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?

It varies with the size of the home and the amount of belongings. A cleaned and sorted house can take days to weeks. Biohazard cleanup comes first when the death was unattended, and the sorting follows once the home is safe.

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.

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.

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.
