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.

What safety standards do crews follow?

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.

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.
