Odor Neutralization After an Unattended Death in Somers, WI

Odor removal after death focuses on porous materials such as carpet, mattresses and subfloor. These absorb fluids and release odor for weeks, so they are usually removed or sealed.

Fewer homes in Somers were built before 1980, about 43%, but newer carpet, padding and drywall still hold odor and need removal. With about 6% of homes in Kenosha County vacant, most buildings have people nearby who may notice a smell sooner and call for help.

Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Somers, WI

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.

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.

What should I ask a death odor removal company before hiring?

Ask how it finds the source, what it removes and what equipment it uses. Ask how it disposes of waste, what the price includes and what happens if a smell remains after treatment.

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.

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.

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.
