Questions Families Ask About Death Cleanup in Huntington, UT
What is considered an unattended death?
An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
Can I clean up after a death myself?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and soaked carpet or padding holds odor deep below the surface. Cleanup technicians use protective gear and equipment you probably do not have. Leaving it to a team also spares you from the sight.
How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
It varies with the size of the home and the amount of belongings. A cleaned and sorted house can take days to weeks. Biohazard cleanup comes first when the death was unattended, and the sorting follows once the home is safe.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch the person or anything around them. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself. If you feel overwhelmed, 988 offers support by call or text.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Usually not. Odor comes from fluids that soaked into carpet, padding, subfloor and walls. Opening windows or using sprays only covers it for a short time. The source has to be removed and the air and structure treated.
What should I not do after finding a death at home?
Call 911 first and do not touch anything. Do not try to clean fluids yourself, because they can carry germs. Do not vacuum or use household bleach. Wait for the authorities, then ask a cleanup team how to proceed.
