Questions About the Smell of Death in a Coral Springs, FL Home

Can the smell spread to other rooms or apartments?

Yes. Odor moves through vents, door gaps and shared walls. A closed unit can pass a smell to a hallway or the next apartment. Crews trace the path and treat every area the smell 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.

Is odor removal the same as biohazard cleanup?

They go together but are not the same. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination and disinfects. Odor removal makes sure no smell remains in the structure or air. Most death cleanup jobs need both.

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.

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.
