Removing the Smell of Death From a Hutchinson Island South, FL Property

A death odor is a health concern as well as a comfort problem. The smell is tied to fluids that can carry germs, so odor control should be done by crews wearing protective gear.

If a smell remains in your home, apartment or rental in Hutchinson Island South or elsewhere in St. Lucie County after a death, call Hutchinson Island South Biohazard Cleanup Help for odor removal. The crew finds the source of the smell and treats it, instead of covering it.

Questions About the Smell of Death in a Hutchinson Island South, FL Home

Will the odor come back after cleaning?

It can if the source was not fully removed. Odor returns when fluids remain in padding, subfloor or walls. A team that removes soaked materials, treats the structure and runs air treatment is more likely to end it. Ask what happens if a smell remains.

Can I sell or rent a home after the smell was removed?

Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.

How do you get the smell of a dead body out of a house?

The smell is removed by removing what holds it. A team takes out soaked carpet, padding and furniture, cleans and disinfects hard surfaces, treats and often seals the subfloor, then runs air treatment equipment. Sprays and fans only cover the odor briefly.

Can I use air fresheners, vinegar or baking soda?

They may cover the smell for a short time, but they do not reach fluids in padding or subfloor. Household products also leave the contamination behind. Source removal and professional treatment are what end the odor.

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.

Does warm weather make the odor worse?

Yes. Heat speeds the changes behind the odor and makes it stronger and wider spreading. A closed home with the air conditioning off can hold a strong smell. The steps stay the same, but acting soon after the scene is released helps.
