Unattended death cleanup, with dignity
When someone passes away alone and isn't found for days, fluids and odour spread far beyond what you can see. We remove contaminated materials, eliminate the odour at the source and return the home to a safe condition — so the family, landlord or estate can move forward.

When this service is needed
- A loved one, tenant or neighbour was found days after passing
- A strong odour remains after the body has been removed
- Fluids have reached the mattress, flooring or subfloor
- An estate, landlord or property manager needs the unit made safe
Why it's more than cleaning
Decomposition fluids soak into mattresses, carpet, underpad, subfloor and even drywall. The odour comes from those materials, so masking it doesn't work. We remove what's contaminated, disinfect the structure and treat the odour so it doesn't come back.
For families, estates and landlords
We work with executors, property managers and landlords, and can coordinate access when the family is out of town. Personal items that can be saved are set aside for you.
Insurance and documentation
Coverage depends on the policy. We provide photos and a detailed scope you can share with the insurer or the estate.

Unattended Death Cleanup questions
How long does the cleanup take?
Most jobs take one to three days, depending on how long the person was undiscovered and how far fluids travelled.
Can the smell be fully removed?
Yes, when the contaminated materials are removed and the structure is treated. Air fresheners and ozone alone don't solve it.
Can you save personal belongings?
Items that weren't contaminated are set aside. Photos, documents and keepsakes are handled with care.
Who pays for it?
Often the homeowner's or landlord's insurance, or the estate. We document everything for whoever is responsible.
