Either way
What every cleanup has in common
Containment
The affected area is closed off with plastic sheeting so nothing spreads to the rest of the house.
Removal
Anything that soaked up fluid and cannot be cleaned is cut out, bagged and boxed as waste.
Cleaning and disinfection
Surfaces that stay are cleaned, then treated with a disinfectant used as its label directs.
Cost
What drives the price
This site does not quote prices, and no two jobs are priced the same. These are the things a company will look at:
- how large the affected area is and how many rooms are involved
- what soaked into: carpet, pad, subfloor, drywall or furniture usually has to be cut out and removed
- how long it was before anyone found it
- how much of the room's contents has to be thrown away
- how the waste has to be packaged and hauled
- access: stairs, crawl spaces, tight rooms or a vehicle
Ask for a written scope and price before work starts, and ask whether they bill an insurer directly or bill you.
When you are ready
One call, no pressure to decide on the spot
Some people call within the hour. Others wait until the funeral is over. Either is fine. Keep the affected room closed until then and leave the cleanup to people with the right equipment.
