Contact Bio Solutions Tennessee to speak directly with the owner about your situation and request assistance.
What Is Unattended Death Cleanup?
An unattended death occurs when someone passes away and is not discovered for a period of time. As decomposition begins, bodily fluids and odors may affect flooring, walls, furniture, personal belongings, and other materials near the person.
Unattended death cleanup addresses the biological material and affected contents left behind after the deceased has been removed. The work may involve removing contaminated items, cleaning and decontaminating the area, and treating odors associated with decomposition.
This service is different from general household cleaning. Biological material may reach porous surfaces or areas that are difficult to clean with ordinary products. Attempting to clean up after an unattended death without appropriate training, protective gear, and cleaning products may place the person performing the work in direct contact with potentially hazardous material.
Bio Solutions Tennessee provides discreet biohazard cleanup for these sensitive situations. Our team is available around the clock to answer questions and discuss what has occurred.
Why Professional Death Cleanup Is Important
Professional death cleanup helps property owners avoid direct contact with these materials. Our technicians use protective equipment and professional cleaning products while removing contaminated objects and cleaning affected areas. We also provide deodorization when odors are present.
There is an emotional consideration as well. Cleaning the area where a relative or friend passed away can be deeply distressing. Family members should not feel obligated to take on that responsibility themselves. A professional cleanup team can address the physical condition of the property while relatives focus on personal and family matters.
Depending on the circumstances, an unattended death may overlap with blood cleanup, odor removal, or broader biohazard cleanup. Deaths connected to a crime must also remain undisturbed until law enforcement completes its investigation and releases the property. When an investigation is involved, our crime scene cleaners can assist after the scene has been released.
What Our Death Cleanup Service May Address
Contaminated Materials and Belongings
The type of work required depends on the conditions found at the property. Some materials may require removal, while others may require professional cleaning and decontamination. You can speak directly with the owner to discuss the property and request an estimate.
Cleaning and Decontamination
Our technicians wear protective gear while working in areas affected by blood, bodily fluids, or decomposition. This allows relatives, property owners, tenants, and other occupants to avoid direct contact with the scene.
Odor Removal
We provide odor removal as part of our death cleanup services when needed. The work required depends on how the death affected the property and the surrounding materials.
If you are responsible for a property after an unattended death, contact us before attempting to clean the area yourself. We can discuss the situation confidentially and explain how we may be able to help.
Compassionate and Discreet Assistance After a Death
The owner remains personally involved from the first conversation through the completion of each cleanup. He vets every employee and requires background checks before they enter your property. These practices provide an added level of accountability during a time when families and property owners may feel vulnerable.
We provide death and unattended death cleanup in Knoxville, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Morristown, Sevierville, Lenoir City, and other East Tennessee communities. Emergency cleanup assistance is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Cleanup may be covered by homeowners insurance depending on the circumstances and policy. Bio Solutions Tennessee works with major insurance companies and can assist with the claims process. Coverage is never automatic, so review your policy and discuss the situation with us and your insurance provider.
