Questions About the Smell of Death in a East Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, OH Home

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.

What methods remove death odor?

Teams use a mix of source removal, disinfection, sealing and air treatment. Equipment can include ozone generators, hydroxyl units, thermal foggers and air scrubbers. Which method fits depends on how far the smell has spread and what the surfaces are made of.

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.

Is decomposition odor harmful?

The smell can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness in a closed space. The larger concern is the fluids behind it, which can carry germs. If you must enter, ventilate and limit your time. Do not touch fluids, and leave if you feel unwell.

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.

Do carpets and furniture have to be thrown away?

Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
