What is apartment death cleanup?
Apartment death cleanup is the restoration of a rental unit after a tenant has died, including removal of bodily fluids and affected materials, cleaning and sealing of the structure, odor control to protect neighboring units, careful handling of the tenant's belongings, and documentation for owners and insurers.
Protecting the building, the neighbors and the family
In an apartment or multi-unit building, a death that goes unnoticed affects more than one unit. Odor travels through shared walls, hallways and ventilation, fluids can reach the unit below, and neighbors become upset. The tenant's family, meanwhile, needs their loved one's belongings handled with care.
We contain the odor quickly, restore the unit and protect neighboring units. Belongings are handled according to the family's or your instructions, and you get documentation for the owner, the insurer and your files.
