The Scene of a Death Can be Dangerous and Traumatic
You need the help of a professional unattended death cleanup team. Untrained individuals should never handle unattended death cleanup efforts. A crime scene, sudden traumatic death, unattended death clean up , body fluids and biological tissues create biohazards that the untrained are unprepared to clean up. Blood, urine, feces, and any decomposition carry the risk of infectious disease. A single drop of body fluid can carry germs, disease, or bacteria that can remain dangerous for long periods of time.
In the case of one unattended death we were called to handle, the victim had suffered not only from a sickness of the body but also a sickness of the mind. On the way out to the Seaside, New Jersey high rise apartment I had quickly glanced over the work order.
The victim had been of some means and had moved down here after a sudden job loss in the Big Apple. With no family to speak of, John Doe had developed a taste for a certain risky behavior and had ended up contracting a fatal, sexually transmitted virus.
The report also told me that John had not had an easy death. Alone, in his apartment, as the disease ravaged his mind and body, he grew increasingly withdrawn from society. The building super that had called ABT out to the scene also mentioned that John had developed an odd habit of keeping used toilet paper, both in the toilet and in a laundry basket beside it.
All the different factors of this cleanup definitely made it imperative to hire trained experts in the decontamination and remediation of bio-hazardous cleanups. We will work with your insurance company to find the right procedures for your specific needs. We guarantee to put back in order that which will never be the same again.
Once Inside the Home, We Had Our Work Cut Out For Us
John had gotten violently ill in his final days, and the smell of vomit mixed with other bodily fluids to create a noxious odor. We wear non breathable decon suits and full masks to protect us. I’m always thankful for that later between me and the job.
We thoroughly wrap any material that has any evidence of contaminates and out is disposed of properly in specially marked bio-hazardous waste containers. You don’t want that stuff going to the curb or to a regular landfill.
Then we completely remove all furniture before cleaning, sanitizing and finally setting up an Ozone machine to eliminate odors and pathogens on a molecular level. Only then are we sure out job is done.
Unfortunately for John D., his life’s possessions were never claimed. The entire story off his life was packed into garbage bags and lost to time. Sometimes I have to tell myself that somewhere sometime remembers this person, just so that I find some comfort in the end of the many lives I see. Give us a call we offer $$$ For Referrals!
