Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Augusta-Richmond County consolidated government (balance), GA

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.

Is odor removal the same as biohazard cleanup?

They go together but are not the same. Biohazard cleanup removes contamination and disinfects. Odor removal makes sure no smell remains in the structure or air. Most death cleanup jobs need both.

Will the odor come back after cleaning?

It can if the source was not fully removed. Odor returns when fluids remain in padding, subfloor or walls. A team that removes soaked materials, treats the structure and runs air treatment is more likely to end it. Ask what happens if a smell remains.

Can I use air fresheners, vinegar or baking soda?

They may cover the smell for a short time, but they do not reach fluids in padding or subfloor. Household products also leave the contamination behind. Source removal and professional treatment are what end the odor.

Who pays for odor removal in a rental?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle it through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

Do I need to be at the property?

Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.
