Questions About the Smell of Death in a Audubon Park, KY Home

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.

Does insurance cover death odor removal?

Many homeowners policies cover death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies often cover belongings but not the building. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.

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.

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.

How long does death odor removal take?

It depends on how far the smell spread and how much must be removed. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger job with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
