Clear answers
Unattended Death Cleanup questions
When can cleanup begin?
Only after the appropriate authority has released the property and the authorized decision-maker can provide access.
Can odor treatment alone solve the problem?
Odor may indicate affected material. Masking odor is not a substitute for finding and addressing the source.
Can AABiohazard discuss the job with an estate representative?
Yes, but the selected contractor will determine what authorization is required before entering or beginning work.
Is pricing available before an assessment?
A contractor may discuss general factors by phone, but a reliable final scope usually depends on the property and affected materials.
