An unattended death is one where a person passes away and is not found for some time. In that period the body breaks down and releases fluids and gases. The result is a property that cannot be treated with ordinary cleaning. MoldWise Restoration restores these spaces in Olean, MO, and we approach each one with the respect the situation deserves.
Fluids can soak through carpet and padding into the subfloor. Odor settles into fabric, wood and drywall and can travel through ductwork into other rooms. Insects may be present. These conditions are why the work is more than a surface cleaning, and why waiting tends to make the damage harder to reverse.
We start by finding how far the contamination has spread, then remove materials that cannot be saved, such as saturated flooring and padding, and cut out affected sections where needed. Remaining surfaces are cleaned and disinfected in protective gear, and removed items are packaged and taken away for disposal under applicable rules.
Lasting odor comes from material that still holds residue, so we treat the source rather than cover it. After removal and cleaning, deodorizing methods are used on the space and on the materials that stay. Where odor is locked into something that cannot be cleaned, we will say so plainly and recommend replacement.
Families who have lost someone, landlords and property managers, neighbors, and executors settling an estate. We speak in plain terms, explain the work before it starts, and leave the decisions about belongings and repairs to you. Fifteen years in business has taught us to move steadily and to keep you informed.
No. Remains are handled by the appropriate authorities before cleanup begins. We work on the property afterward.
Fluids soak into porous materials such as padding, subfloor and drywall. Until those materials are treated or replaced, odor can keep returning.
We recommend waiting for trained crews. Contamination and airborne odor can affect health. Call us and we will explain what to avoid until we arrive.
