Our Discreet and Thorough Cleanup Process
Our process is built on a foundation of safety, respect, and complete confidentiality. We adhere to all state and federal regulations to ensure the scene is handled correctly from start to finish.
- 24/7 Confidential Call & Discreet Arrival: Our compassionate team is available 24/7. When you call, we will listen to your situation with empathy and dispatch a team anywhere in Illinois. We always arrive in unmarked vehicles to protect your family’s privacy.
- Scene Assessment and Safety Protocol: Our certified technicians begin by assessing the scene to identify all biohazards. They establish a strict containment zone to prevent any cross-contamination to other areas of the home or property.
- Thorough Cleaning, Disinfection, and Biohazard Removal: Wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), our team meticulously cleans and disinfects the entire affected area. We remove all biological materials, fluids, and any items that have been contaminated beyond recovery.
- Complete Odor Removal and Air Purification: Decomposition can leave behind powerful and persistent odors. We use advanced deodorization techniques, including tools like ozone machines and air scrubbers, to eliminate all odors and purify the air.
- Compliant Biohazard Waste Disposal: All contaminated materials are handled as “potentially infectious medical waste” (PIMW) and are legally and safely disposed of according to all Illinois EPA and OSHA regulations.
- Property Restoration: If structural elements like flooring, subflooring, or drywall have been affected, we can remove them as part of the remediation process to ensure the property is fully restored.
The Benefits of Professional After-Death Cleaning
Lifts the Emotional and Physical Burden
The most important benefit is sparing you and your family from the traumatic and emotionally damaging task of cleaning the scene. We handle everything so you don’t have to.
Ensures the Home is
Safe and Hygienic
Our deep cleaning and disinfection process eliminates all dangerous biohazards and bloodborne pathogens, making the space completely safe and sanitary for occupancy again.
Protects Against Lingering Odors and Damage
Our thorough deodorization process is critical for preventing long-term odors that can permeate a property. We also prevent further damage to the home’s structure from biohazardous materials.
Provides Peace of Mind
During a difficult grieving process, knowing the cleanup was handled completely, legally, and professionally by certified experts provides invaluable peace of mind.
Understanding the Health & Safety Risks
An unattended death scene contains more than just visible stains; it presents a serious biohazardous environment that poses significant health risks to anyone who enters the area without protection.
- Bloodborne Pathogens: Bodily fluids can contain dangerous viruses like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. These bloodborne pathogens can remain viable on surfaces for days or even weeks, and exposure can occur through contact with broken skin or mucous membranes.
- Bacteria and Decomposition: The natural decomposition process produces bacteria and other microorganisms that can contaminate surfaces and become airborne. Exposure to these can cause a range of illnesses, which is why professional decomposition cleanup in Illinois is so critical.
- Structural Damage: If left unaddressed, bodily fluids can seep deep into porous materials like wood subflooring, drywall, and carpet padding. This not only causes permanent staining but can lead to structural damage and persistent, deeply embedded odors.
- Persistent Odors: The odors associated with decomposition are powerful and pervasive. They can be absorbed by nearly every porous surface in a home. Professional deodorization techniques are required to neutralize these odors at a molecular level.
