Who Cleans Up After Someone Dies in a Home?

After authorities and the appropriate professionals have completed their work, property cleanup is often left to the property owner or family to arrange. When decomposition, blood, or bodily fluids are present, a professional biohazard cleanup company may be appropriate.

When Professional Cleanup May Be Needed

Professional help is commonly considered when biological contamination affects flooring, furnishings, contents, or other materials, especially after an unattended death.

Do Not Disturb an Active Scene

If authorities are involved, wait until the scene has been released before arranging cleanup.
