Unattended Death Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Simpsonville, SC

Who is responsible for cleaning up after a death?

Police and the medical examiner do not clean. The property owner, the family or the estate books and pays for cleanup. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord or an attorney can explain the details.

What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?

Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.

Does hot weather make the problem worse?

Yes. Heat speeds the changes that cause fluids and odor, and a closed home can hold strong smells. The cleanup steps stay the same, but acting soon after the property is released helps keep the odor from spreading further.

Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?

In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.

Can a home be sold or rented after an unattended death?

Yes, once it has been properly cleaned and any needed 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.

What happens to the carpet and furniture?

Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.

Is a home in Simpsonville waiting on cleanup after a death?
