We got the call about an unattended death which had happened during a horrible heat wave.
Summers in the south are hot and humid and Tampa was especially that way this year. The guy’s air conditioning had gone out either before or after he died Regardless, it made a terrible situation much worse.
If you can only imagine the smell of a dead body that has been deteriorating in the heat and humidity. You probably can’t imagine it nor would you even want to.
Our foreman warned us that this was going to be bad.
We would need not only our suits but our masks as well. I have to tell you even with a mask this is one of the toughest jobs I have ever dealt with.
I would guess that this man suffered a heart attack or stroke and he died in the kitchen right in front of his stove and cabinets. The body fluids from the decomposition had started to seep into the floor and dripped into the foundation. That and the blood make for one difficult cleanup.
This type of odor tends to linger a long time and some cleanup companies just mask the odor temporarily. Our scene clean-up teams have the knowledge and equipment to permanently remove an odor from rooms, carpets, furniture, or any place the odor might have gotten into.
At Advanced Bio Treatment we use IICRC Odor Certified Firm practices that will neutralize all biological hazards and odors at the molecular level. We won’t just leave your home or business in a clean and decontaminated state we will make sure it smells as clean as it is
This can pose an extreme risk for untrained individuals as they can be exposed to infectious diseases. A single drop of decomposing bodily fluid can contain germs, bacteria, and active disease that will remain viable and dangerous for long periods of time. These dangers can seep into and be absorbed by cloth, carpet, wood, flooring, sub flooring, in between walls, and ceilings carrying their pathogens with them.
