What is Decomposition Cleanup?
Decomposition cleanup involves the professional remediation of spaces affected by biological decomposition processes. These situations can arise from various sources, including unattended deaths, animal remains, or severe hoarding conditions. They present unique challenges that require specialized equipment, training, and procedures:
- Biohazard Removal: Safely eliminating potentially infectious biological materials
- Advanced Odor Elimination: Addressing persistent decomposition odors at their molecular source
- Complete Sanitization: Ensuring all affected areas are thoroughly decontaminated
- Structural Remediation: Addressing damage to building materials when necessary
- Discreet Service: Maintaining privacy during a sensitive situation
Our technicians are specifically trained to handle these complex situations with both technical precision and emotional sensitivity.

Why Professional Decomposition Cleanup is Critical
Attempting to address decomposition without professional assistance presents serious risks:
- Rapid Contamination: Decomposition can begin within hours and accelerates quickly, especially in warm environments. Bacteria multiply exponentially, spreading contamination throughout the affected area.
- Airborne Pathogens: Decomposition releases airborne bacteria and pathogens that can infiltrate ventilation systems and contaminate areas beyond the immediate vicinity.
- Persistent Odors: Standard cleaning products cannot eliminate decomposition odors, which penetrate porous materials like drywall, wood, and textiles.
- Health Hazards: Exposure to decomposition sites presents significant health risks from bloodborne pathogens and biological materials that can cause serious illness.
- Psychological Impact: The emotional burden of addressing decomposition can compound grief and trauma unnecessarily.
