Questions About the Smell of Death in a Corvallis, MT Home
Can I sell or rent a home after the smell was removed?
Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.
What should I ask a death odor removal company before hiring?
Ask how it finds the source, what it removes and what equipment it uses. Ask how it disposes of waste, what the price includes and what happens if a smell remains after treatment.
Can the smell spread to other rooms or apartments?
Yes. Odor moves through vents, door gaps and shared walls. A closed unit can pass a smell to a hallway or the next apartment. Crews trace the path and treat every area the smell reached.
How do you get the smell of a dead body out of a house?
The smell is removed by removing what holds it. A team takes out soaked carpet, padding and furniture, cleans and disinfects hard surfaces, treats and often seals the subfloor, then runs air treatment equipment. Sprays and fans only cover the odor briefly.
What causes the smell of decomposition?
It comes from gases and fluids released as tissue breaks down. The fluids soak into carpet, padding, mattresses and the floor beneath. The longer a person was in the home before being found, the more materials the fluids usually reached.
