Odor Neutralization After an Unattended Death in Castle Pines, CO

Death odor removal is separate from biohazard cleanup, though the two often go together. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination, and odor control makes sure the smell does not linger in what is left.

For your Castle Pines property with a lingering death odor in Douglas County, call Castle Pines Biohazard Cleanup Help to get source removal, deodorizing and air treatment. The result is checked before the space is handed back to you.

Fewer homes in Douglas County were built before 1980, about 7%, but newer carpet, padding and drywall still hold odor and need removal. Drier air in Castle Pines, with about 18 inches of rain a year, does not cure a death odor. The smell stays in carpet and subfloor until the source is removed.

A typical decomposition & death odor removal job includes:

  • Treatment of apartments, rental units, hotel rooms and vehicles
  • Containment so odor and contamination stay out of other rooms
  • Guidance on repairs such as flooring, drywall or paint after odor source removal
  • Odor neutralization with equipment such as ozone, hydroxyl units and thermal fogging
  • Air scrubbing and treatment of rooms, vents and air handling areas

Questions About the Smell of Death in a Castle Pines, CO Home

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.

How much does death odor removal cost?

The price depends on how long the person was in the home, how far fluids spread and how much carpet, padding and subfloor must be treated. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Insurance may cover part of it.

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 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.

Who pays for odor removal in a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle it through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

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.
