Death Odor Cleanup / Cleaning up after Death in Norfolk, Williamsburg, Franklin, VA

When the heat of summer finds it's way thru July and August blood cleaners get calls for unattended deaths. These Cleanups can be very labor intensive; however nothing can prepare you for the odor you will encounter from a death that has gone unnoticed for a long period of time. Looking at the area from a distance tells you very little about the amount of contamination to the surrounding structure. Body fluids and blood race to the lowest areas on the floor spreading bio-hazards throughout carpet, pad, wood and sometimes into the crawl space. Inexperienced blood cleaners just clean the top of surfaces leaving dangerous disease pathogens to multiply and to continue to off gas bad odors. If you are not sure if fluids have moved into the wood floor it is best to pull it up. When Aftercare technicians clean these type of situations it is like cleaning two scenes in one. Our workers clean the room and tear out carpet and pad this is one scene. Then we must cleanup and prepare to cut up wood floors and decontaminate the house structure. It is like cleaning up one scene and doing another cleanup immediately after in the same area. This is a must as we are trusted to remove all contagious waste and make the area safe for all who will enter after us. If you face the horrible task of cleaning up after a unattended death in any city in Hampton Roads, Virginia ; AFTERCARE is ready to help you now.
