Questions About the Smell of Death in a East Islip, NY Home

How long does the smell of death last?

It lasts until the source is removed. Fluids in carpet, padding and subfloor give off odor for weeks or longer, and warm weather makes it stronger. Opening windows helps for a short time. A cleanup team removes the source and treats the air.

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.

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.

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.

What safety standards do crews follow?

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.
