An unattended death occurs when a person has died and no one has witnessed it. This means that their body is not discovered straight away and remains where it is for days, weeks, or even months. This mostly happens when a person lives on their own, and their family, friends, or neighbors have not checked in on them in a while, for whatever reason. 

 

Whoever finds the body is in for a grave discovery. Especially if it is a loved one they have found. As you can imagine, a body that has begun to decompose also creates a harmful environment for anyone to be around. And, that's why it's critical to bring in a professional company such as Steri-Clean® Maryland / Delaware. Of course, a family member or friend of the deceased should never be tasked with a disturbing cleanup of this magnitude. Not only is it immensely traumatizing, but this type of situation requires trained expert professionals to properly clean and sanitize the affected area, and to make sure it is safe to occupy again. 

 

How Does a Decomposition Clean Up Work?

Once a body begins to decompose, harmful pathogens are released from the body in the form of liquids, solids, and gases. If left untreated, these biohazards can also cause serious harm to humans which come into contact with them. In order to tackle this, Steri-Clean® Maryland / Delaware Decomposition Cleanup process includes the following foolproof steps:  

 

1. Cleanup: Our team will remove all biohazard material and wastes from the scene, and dispose of them accordingly.

2. Sanitization: Next, we use hospital-grade chemicals and EPA standards to clean and sanitize the area to quickly eradicate long-lasting biohazards such as Hepatitis.

3. Deodorization: The next step involves eliminating any odors associated with decomposition by using the highest quality commercial deodorizing agents.

4. Restoration: Finally, our team will work hard to return the property so that it is habitable or usable again.

5. Counseling: At Steri-Clean® Maryland / Delaware, we understand how extremely difficult an unattended death can be for the family and friends. We recommend seeking professional counseling to assist you with grief and trauma, to help you process what has happened.
