Frequently Asked Questions About Decomposition Cleanup

What is considered an “unattended death”?

An unattended death occurs when someone passes away alone and is not discovered for a period of time. This can result in natural decomposition, which often requires specialized cleanup due to health risks and odors.

Why do I need a professional for this?

Decomposition can release bodily fluids, bacteria, and airborne contaminants that are hazardous to health. Professional cleanup ensures the area is sanitized, deodorized, and safe to inhabit again. We also take care of proper biohazard disposal according to provincial regulations.

How long does the cleanup take?

It depends on the level of contamination, but most unattended death cleanups are completed in a few hours to one full day. We'll give you an estimated timeframe after our initial assessment.

Do I need to be present during the cleanup?

No. You’re welcome to be present, but many families prefer to leave during the process. We’re comfortable working independently and can communicate with you remotely to reduce further emotional stress.

Can furniture of flooring be saved?

In some cases, yes. But if fluids have soaked into porous materials like carpets or subflooring, they often need to be removed. We’ll walk you through our recommendations and only proceed with your approval.

Will my insurance cover this?

In many cases, homeowners insurance will cover unattended death and biohazard cleanup. We can provide documentation and detailed invoices to assist with your claim.
