- Cleaning and disinfection of floors, walls and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
- Finding every spot where fluids reached, including under flooring and behind baseboards

Death Odor Removal Frequently Asked Questions in Juneau, WI
Can I clean the room myself first?
It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and household cleaning often spreads contamination or pushes fluid deeper. Soaked materials also need regulated disposal. A team in protective gear can do the job safely.
Is decomposition odor harmful?
The smell can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness in a closed space. The larger concern is the fluids behind it, which can carry germs. If you must enter, ventilate and limit your time. Do not touch fluids, and leave if you feel unwell.
Does warm weather make the odor worse?
Yes. Heat speeds the changes behind the odor and makes it stronger and wider spreading. A closed home with the air conditioning off can hold a strong smell. The steps stay the same, but acting soon after the scene is released helps.
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.
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.
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.
