What unattended death cleanup covers:
Before any cleaning starts, the crew confirms the scene is cleared by authorities and sets up protective barriers and ventilation.
The crew puts on protective equipment and seals off the affected room. This keeps contamination from traveling through the home.
Contaminated items are taken out, surfaces are decontaminated and waste leaves the property in sealed containers.
Every treated area is checked, waste is gone and the property is ready for repairs, a sale or a new tenant.
