Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in Azle, TX
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 is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?
Start with safety. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first. Then set aside papers, photos and valuables, sort the rest by room and book hauling. An estate cleanout team can do the heavy work while the family makes decisions.
How long does death cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. A cleanup team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?
In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.
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.
What is the forty day rule after a death?
It is not a Texas cleanup rule. Some faiths and families observe a period of mourning with a set length, and customs vary. Texas law does not make cleanup wait for a number of days. Cleanup can begin once authorities release the property.
